Can I really write every day for a year?

Paloma tryna rip off my moustache

This is a new format I’d like to try - one journal entry every day. Why? I’m not entirely sure yet, but it feels right.

One of the most inspiring films I’ve seen over the last couple of years was Perfect Days by Wim Wenders. My greatest takeaway from that movie was that life is lived in days. I’ve since tried my best to experience the fullness of life within a day rather than over a season, a memory or a holiday.

Hopefully, by writing stuff down at the end of a day, it will help me savour the taste that much more. And hopefully, by writing to all of you, you’ll be able to experience the joy with me. It also keeps me accountable.

I think there’ll be a lot of thoughts on restoring our ancient house, farming two acres of flowers by hand and raising a family of humans and animals. I’ll try my best to make it raw and unmanicured. Given it’ll have to be daily, I probably don’t have a choice.

See yall tomorrow boys and girls,

Patrick
