book of lists | mia nolting

i came across this amazing artist, mia nolting on this blog, and i just adore her work titled "book of lists". it totally resonates with me and my MO in life. stumbling across her work today was completely fortuitous, as i was feeling uninspired and yucky. i felt so much better after really digesting her work and her words. i really believe it can be so transformative for one to really put themselves out there for the world. once a person does that, others feel connected and a part of something larger than themselves and their own daily lives and challenges. i feel this to be in the same line as my here's to longing pieces in that i feel like reading her lists she is totally exposing her vulnerabilities, fears, pain and thoughts. i really appreciate this and feel like it is good for all of us to push ourselves a little bit more each day to be more open, introspective, reflective, inquisitive, and honest with ourselves.

each of these lists that i have highlighted here are so inspiring and moving to me for so many reasons:

i do like this idea. i think it is important for us to write a list like this, and then actually try to apologize to them. 

the quote "people are unpredictable" is so damn true, and it can be so hurtful. but once we realize this and remember this, may be we won't come to expect so much from those around us and we'll be more detached...? a quesiton...

amen.

i freaking love this list. so good.
