if you had an "instant therapy list" what would be on it?

what wakes you up/calms you down/clears your head/ 'makes you feel good'

and rolling my jeans and wading in past my ankles and, if there's a dry flat-enough rock protruding from the surface of the water, making it my afternoon reading spot

guitar? indeed. pretty much every dumb little song i write is anchored around a g and it's sort of embarassing that the sounds i like so much are so rudimentary

mmm, exactly

i like the word rudimentary
as long as they make you happy
i bought a guitar when i was 15 and i still haven't really learned to play it
(long term investment)
weak willed fingers maybe, i haven't made peace with thick red indentations and callouses yet
i want to learn to play the banjo

playing cards
prayer cards

the above live in a basket by my bed.

otherwise; tidying/organising things into Where They Should Be/throwing things out. done a lot of this lately. I don't do it that often tho, which is why I am probably a stressed little fuck most of the time.

doing all my homework. I don't do that much either, another reason I am often a stressed little fuck.

and yeah. the first breath of air when I step outside in the morning.

sorry for the internet equivalent of eavesdropping, but I noticed thanksgiving and had to comment. i was lucky enough to see adrian (thanksgiving) at a co-op near my house this summer and lay in the grass while he sang beautiful, beautiful songs like this one
