Secrets of technology and time and space π±ππ
Form + Function π€ππ
I have felt weirder and weirder about creating the last few weeks. We are in relationships with creativity and work and other real-life humans. The fumbles I make in all of these dances feel brighter right now. Places, where I could hide, are suddenly ILLUMINATED!
I am so deeply addicted to scrolling on my phone. I have about 20-25 minutes of work/attention in me before I pick up my phone and just scrolllll. Not that this wasn't a habit of mine in the before times, but suddenly it is the only real connection we have to the world. I don't think I'd have as much issue with this idea if I have some conscious decision making around it. But I don't, I only realize after my neck feels stiff that I've spent the last 20 minutes scrolling while also watching shitty old reality tv.
As much as I hate the relationship I have with my phone. I think I have to be ok with this right now. We are literally in survival mode and I am not sure if GREAT NEW ROUTINES AND RULES are for me right now. Maybe gentle structure and mindfulness. It never feels fun or cool to talk about my deep obsession with my phone - but that is what is present for me right now, and I think my hands (and crunchy neck) deserve better.Β
SOooo THIS WEEK I am talking with my pal Jasmine from With My HandsΒ about exactly that. The rituals our hands have occupied and the rituals they have taken on during this (ugh) unprecedented time. We are chatting over on my new baby's home (Instagram, YES I SEE THE IRONY HERE!!) @OkayShoeΒ on Thursday, April 30th at 1pm! I am super jazzed about it, I love interviewing people, I love being in conversation and exploring art, love, ritual and the universe. Maybe we will find the answers to all of these issues, but we'll probably just learn that we're all experiencing the same frustrations. Maybe, maybe not.
I love you, I hope you are keeping well in whatever way well means to you
