So in an effort to understand this website a little more, I decided to scroll through the latest things for a little bit. It was honestly refreshing and interesting to be able to read the journaling and thoughts of strangers.

There's a lot about the weather and spring (aka allergies season). Which is perfect, because just this morning when I walked into work, I noticed the wisteria that grows over the entrance is currently blooming and smells absolutely lovely. Which reminds me about an interesting tidbit I read once, that wisteria represents knowledge (needs ref. I'll doublecheck after work) which is very fitting for a library.

And so I'm attempting to step out of my comfort zone and actually document some things. Not that it will be particularly interesting to the average outsider, but I think it'll at least be a little cathartic for me.

Speaking of cathartic things, I managed to conquer my phone anxiety earlier only to find that the strawberry mochi that I wanted to order isn't going to be available for another week, sadness. So I will have to confront that phone anxiety in a week's time once again. I also know that I'm going to have to confront it when I begin my therapist search in earnest. Ah well.

I also found a writing meme that I think I'll do after I'm done with this entry. To anyone that reads this, I hope you have a great day/evening!

I love wysteria, there's an old homestead I can hike to that has just been covered with it. I love when the house and structure are long gone, but daffodils still poke up around the memory of the walls.

I hadn't heard the knowledge thing, interesting!

That sounds so beautiful. I absolutely adore walking around abandoned buildings and structures that are reclaimed by nature. Unfortunately most of the buildings that I liked as a child have been knocked down and promptly built over, sigh.

I found the book where I read the bit about wisteria, here's the entry:
Wisteria is an herbe for those who devote time to reading and studying. Wearing the oil as a scent is believed to help one be a better student by promoting mental clarity and providing better retention. The flowers make a wonderful tea to use when prepar ing for an exam.

I suppose studying is the pursuit of knowledge, so I was half right!
