I think you should buy a cheap plastic pumpkin jack-o-lantern pail this Halloween season.
I think you should keep it on your desk, by your bed.
I think you should put the book you're reading into it before you go to sleep, or before you rush to work, or the grocery store, or to handle whatever chores the day has set before you.
Fill it with zines. Candy corn. Letters in progress, received.
I think you should fill it with sparkly lights, the kind that cost about a cup of coffee. Turn them on when you're feeling: "I love this pail but I wish it were a pumpkin carved into a jack-o-lantern with a candle. Unfortunately, it is April. Or June. Or some other non-October month.”
I think you should fill it with notes.
“Yesterday was was difficult because of Reasons,” with a doodle and some rambles. “Today was fantastic because of Other Reasons.”
The drawing doesn’t have to be a particular quality. The notes do not have to make sense. They do not even need to finish-
