the space between things and categories
loneliness, awkwardness, shame
spirals
boxes
the sea
memory
smells
mosaic
maps, mindmaps
dualities
people who look like animals
my old rooms
tacit knowledge, inference, plotholes
wordplay, scanning the dictionary/thesaurus
people's names (repeating people's names until they seem strange)
getting lost
gazes, eye contact, staring at strangers
public transport
letters, public letters, dead letters
unrequittedness, feeling irrelevant
non-love, something not substantial but existent- nuisance
medical drawings, botanical drawings
