Deep thoughts at Trader Joe's
Oh, hi friends!
I had a profound moment in Trader Joe’s.
It happened in front of the greeting cards (not in the freezer section with a pint of mint chip…that moment would come later). One card caught my eye. It said…
To get something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.
Of course, I don't live under a boulder. I’ve seen this saying before, but this was the first time I really saw it.

But what have you NEVER done?
Maybe that’s a clue.
(After my existential spiral I moved on to the desserts. BTW, the Humboldt ice cream is really good—and only $1.99! #notanad)
“When she started out, Campion considered herself primarily a writer. ‘I had these stories and there was no chance of getting anybody else to do them, so I had to become a director of my own work. I never thought I wanted to be a film director. I’m not actually ambitious per se in terms of a career; I’m just ambitious to achieve the stories and dramas that I’ve come up with.’”
Twist! Sometimes life works out in funny ways. Loved this Guardian story on Top of the Lake director Jane Campion.
