One of my least physically affectionate friends laid his head on my lap this Friendsgiving and asked me to play in his hair…yall I damn near cried. Then he goes “I’m thankful your words and actions line up” 😭

That moment when you’re sewing something from a vintage pattern and there’s no “how to sew”s of any kind online anywhere, just the original paper instructions.

Gotten to the point in crochet where im just pausing a reel and counting stitches to guess the pattern. Sometimes I feel ragebaited by crocheters that never actually post a tutorial/pattern after saying they would😫

We never truly understand the weight of time until the moment of parting arrives. When it does, we find ourselves standing there and helplessly—turned fragile, caught by the long, intricate threads of memory, and suddenly falling into silence. Only when we finally come to our senses do we realise that some things are already gone, and all we can do is cherish.

Lynch’s writing is captivating 🫠 “taking grip of his beard while she watches him silently, judging him in that familiar way, after a certain age a man grows a beard not to enter manhood but to put a barrier to his youth, she can hardly recall him clean-shaven.” Excerpt From Prophet Song by Paul Lynch Booker Prize Winner 2023

“which imbecile ever thought it a good idea to base social, political, and economic systems on the assumption that humans will act purposefully and correctly, even in their own best interests. Look around us, at economies, ideologies. All have failed because their systems assume we will do the right thing.” Excerpt From Notes From Underground by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Maybe Both I don’t know if I lost or I won, perhaps it was both. Because I gave, I broke, I learned— and somehow, I became more whole. I stopped pretending it didn’t hurt, and started being honest. I faced myself, quietly, and saw who I was beneath it all. People are good— I still believe that. But sometimes, we’re just not good to each other. And that’s okay. Because from it, I learned that kindness isn’t weakness, and forgiveness is freedom. The wound remains, but it’s not pain anymore— it’s proof. Proof that I fell, I grew, and that life’s biggest lessons don’t come from winning, but from finding peace in both.

Interesting app so far, but I hope the algorithm adjusts after a while, the default recommendations are veeery caucasian and twink-y.
