on going outside

August 22, 2013
on going outside


new york, new york

I spent the day yesterday at Central Park with my friend Andy. Brought my camera along because I’ve been doing that lately, so I can actually get myself around to using it, even if I have to stop every-so-often to take a picture of something that I think looks interesting. I took a few yesterday, but only liked a small handful of them (one being a picture of my friend, but she hated all the photos I took of her, so even if I really liked one of them, I won’t post it up for the whole world to see).

I feel like I should spend more time outside rather than in. I know I tell myself that a lot, but it’s always hard to do. I’m such a homebody, it doesn’t really take much for me to entertain myself. I enjoy reading and writing. I like arts and crafts, something that’s a bit difficult to do anywhere else other than home, because all my supplies are in my room. I like music and playing my guitar, but I suppose that’s something–along with reading and writing–that I can realistically take outside. I’ve thought on a number of occasions about taking my writing outside to Central Park, especially on nice days, maybe take a blanket with me as well. But I think I’m way too dependent on the internet to solely be writing in the park. I don’t know. I’m always coming up with excuses, I should do things.

I suppose it’s only natural for me to start thinking about this now that summer’s coming close to an end. Though, I am determined to get out even during the cold weather. I’ve been doing very well taking photos of my day and my beloved city. Even though I haven’t accomplished everything on my Things to do in New York City list (to be honest, I’ve only done one), I’ve still headed out of my house and explored more than I have ever done since graduating high school (besides last summer, where I spent my days gallivanting across Europe). But I’ll keep trying!

I suppose it’s just the introvert in me. I like keeping to myself in a place I’m content and comfortable with. I suppose that’s one reason why I haven’t made a new friend since like…2008; I like the ones I have. I suppose that’s why I haven’t yet went looking to see where The Highline is, even though I’ve been meaning to do so since forever! But I will do these things. I just need to push myself, just like I push myself in all my (inside) creative endeavors.

[Maybe I should rally the troops (my own band of misfits) and we do all these things together? Sounds like a plan.]

I absolutely adore this passage about Spring from Jeanette Winterson.

Happy Astrological New Year! xx

Baby boy is 15 years old today! He's no little boy anymore, but a fine old senior dog (actually I think technically he's geriatric). He's definitely slowed down quite a bit with his thyroid problem and just general old age. C19 has definitely been really hard on him. He was struggling with his hyperactive thyroid all through 2020 and no one could figure out why he was so sad and blah until mid-2021 when he got properly diagnosed. But since being on his meds, he's got that puppy spirit again! He does have some separation anxiety now and literally needs to be with people constantly. But that's a given especially since there's always someone home now for him to be with. But it's getting better though! The absolute highlight of his week though is going over to our neighbor's apartment every Tuesday as I tutor one of the girls in math. He gets SO happy then because he gets to play lol. HBD Joey! xx

Driftwood—documenting the signs and synchronicities I see in my life. I'm paying attention to these little coincidences of life. At the beginning of the year, I took @gabbybernstein's manifestation challenge and she had us choose something to be our sign so that whenever we see it, it's a sign from the Universe that what we want is actually on the way. I chose "seeing hearts" because it felt right and aligned with my guiding word for the year, Heart. Gabby asked us to keep a list of all the driftwood we collect, and my god have I been seeing hearts. And while what I desire might not happen right away, I feel like this is the Universe’s way of telling me to trust—to let go and trust.

Into the unraveling journal it all goes. Happy Friday loves. xx

Oh hey, shamelessly sharing this for #thursday3 because tbh I need a different type of photo to break up the feed...

✩ I've been feeling really lost and stagnant in life lately—actually for the last couple of months. Just going through the motions and the sheer monotony of life. I'm not used to doing the same sorts of things day in and day out (probably why I never had a 9 to 5 before). It's kind of boring and that makes me sad. To be fair, I am really blessed and I love my job, but it's a job and not my life, and while I thought getting my ideal job would make me happy, it hasn't. So I've been trying to figure out why that is and what's missing. (Also still going through old shit, but we won't talk about that again.)

✩ I've been playing around with a test WordPress installation on my server and building a little social network-like community on there. It looks super neat, but I honestly don't know if I'll do anything with it. I'm not very good at community building lol. The number of times I've tried, it just never builds as I hope. But like, I'm just really not very good at it! I'm more of a participant than a host. But this site is looking super cool!! It's basically Facebook but not. It's better and I haven't a clue if I should open it up to people to join. Would you actively participate in it?

✩ While I hate the motion of changing the clocks backward and forward, I'm loving the extra daylight! It's making me really happy to finish work around 6 pm and it still being light out. I can't wait for spring!

How are you loves? I hope everyone is well. Happy Thursday! xx

Documenting my One Little Word in my #unravelingjournal.

I love my word Heart for this year. If you've seen a particular Youtube video of mine, you would know why I chose it, but by documenting it in my journal and simply carrying it around with me I realized it contains multitudes!!! I love how I can visually document it so effortlessly since it's a symbol and a shape. I also embrace its many layers and meaning. I'm just in love with my word. She's a winner. xx

I shared a look at the January pages I made in my unraveling journal the other day on my new website tiffanyjulia.com. I've been working in this journal pretty much on the down low while I've been working on a new project. I quite like how some of these pages turned out. I'll share them all here in the coming days. xx
