once upon a time I saw some very impressive footage of a pair of raccoons scaling my garbage can, working the lid open, delving inside for their prize of bread, eating everything but the moldy center bit, and leaving it there for me to clean up in the morning. I thought it was inspiring, really. they decided on a goal, put in the work, took what they wanted from the experience, and then went off into the night to do whatever else they wanted to do. such a vibe. thus the blog name, it's aspirational.
