i. listen to lo-fi music. feel nostalgic about places you've never been to. ii. take pictures of strangers, never of your friends. iii. read the same book over and over for three months straight. find non-existant hidden meanings. iv. keep five notebooks full of quotes, none full of how you're feeling. v. write letters to imaginary people. sign them as holden caulfield, then switch to ****** then jay gatsby. vi. look at yourself in the mirror until your eyes get out of focus. convince yourself that you're not really there. vii. complain about being stuck in one place. do nothing about it stay there don't move you made it.
