I want

To get back in the process of daily notes. Not just on adagia but in general, I used to keep a small journal in my pocket and write down notes of my day, something funny, or science ideas. I stopped this, my pockets were too full. Or I am not sure why I was very nervous always to have notes on me to always be forced to take notice of things, because sometimes I just want to exist I don't always want to think about how to turn something i see into something else. But I recently have been reading a book called flights. In it there are little snippets observations, all them are good or interesting, but some I don't really care for, but they again still are her observations, and her view of the world and memories and that is nice. Recently too, I was reliving one of my favorite memories with some old friends. We were in amsterdame and we were 16 and we tried to buy weed brownies. We went to shop after shop, and I being the oldest had to buy them. I went to counter shaking them in a bag with a big hemp leaf on them. She rang them up, and I paid and ran out of the store. I don't know if I got the change. Then we had to sneak them back to germany, keep them away from davids parents and finally take them. On the night we all took one, and then waited after an hour we took another, after thirty minutes David took another. Then one friend started saying 'he could feel it'. Throughout this whole time though since we took the last one Davids sister was translating the bag, and it turns out they were just hemp dog biscuits... 
When I told them that, they didn't remember it like that, maybe they were mad they didn't get weed, but for me that memory always makes me laugh, and I don't think I would have remembered it without writing it down. 
I like the journaling idea as a habit for waking up and end of day, before bed. I do it very inconsistently though but find it easy to just use my phone for notes during the day since it's rarely more than one or two sentences. 

Funny story though. I was wondering how you went to the counter with the brownies because at coffeeshops they have to hand them to you, but it's true that in all those weed souvenir stores they sell 'cannabis snacks' and those only have CBD in them - if that. I don't even think they'd care if you were 12 and bought them.

I honestly think that everybody should keep a regular journal. The regularity can vary. Once a week? okay that's fine. Once a month? sure even that. And yes even once a year! 

better to keep a more regular one obviously. But if i were to have to choose between only writing a journal and writing fiction i'd pick the journal for sure.
