I have this note that I’ve been keeping for about a year(?) now. It’s called ‘Vrije associatie’ or, ‘Free association’ and I use it to write down literately anything that does not have an immediate place to go to otherwise.

Any idea, any random thought, any question, anything that I want to remember; I write down there. It’s a good tool to remember stuff without having to think about it all the time. I know it’s right there and if I ever need inspiration or whatever, I can just scroll through it.

Now that I’ve been doing just that for quite some time, I’ve aggregated a sizeable list of ideas and thoughts that I found somewhat important to remember when I wrote them. The fun part is, that most of the ideas I have apparently aren’t so bad. The reason I can say that, is because quite a few of them are things I am actually doing now or things that have actually seen the light of day.

For example, and I don’t want to give away too much here, I wrote down ‘The Lens Loves You’ quite some time ago. It didn’t have a plan or further ideas attached to it then but it’s now something I’m slowly starting to send out into the world. Obviously, [I changed the spelling a little](https://www.instagram.com/delenslovesyou/) in the process but the idea originated there.

Another example is my [Endless Cycle playlist](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1ZVJaQIrre2ZJnSrPB9Td5?si=22f07fdaed164cb4), which even has the ‘Tunes to ride your bike to’ subtitle written down as well. I know these are small things, there are some larger ones still remaining, but it’s a comforting thought that not all ideas I have are BS.

Now, I think I have done enough stuff for the week. Let me enjoy a beer and some leftover Indian food.
