memento mori

 When I die*, I hope you'll think of me when you:

  • take care of a cat/pet/animal
  • heal a piece of your past
  • try something new/creative/scary
  • grow a platonic relationship
  • sit by the ocean
  • hug someone deeply
  • sleep as much as your body lets you
  • work dance/movement into conversation
  • experience joy/faith from the smallest things/signs
  • laugh freely, maybe especially when it's not quite appropriate
  • buck convention
  • spend time with yourself
  • grieve openly
  • live and document your one wild and precious life
  • build community and fight the good fight
* I don't plan on dying anytime soon, but I do want to give people who know/love me something to hold onto, and thinking about this ended up clarifying the most important things about me.
