Thoughts on being alive

watching Into the Wild and eating orange otter pops and brown rice for dinner and making art and living with a guy who wears striped socks
= being alive.



The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
— Chris McCandless


p.s. Babas, can we make one of these?
