despite writing about change, contentment amidst a lack of control, and a relocation, reading your writing makes me feel so "settled" (maybe "grounded" is the word?) - in the best possible way. thank you for sharing your gifts - Mrs. Carroll
so beautiful! what your dad said resonated with me a lot: "it lies in being content with how things are, he told me. not how they could have been." that's a wonderful mindset to have. thank you for sharing tara! i'm glad you exist, and i hope you have more and more good moments as the days go on :)
wow. wow. wow. I’m so proud to call you my friend, Tara. Sundays used to be somewhat of a reoccurring low day for me, but now, every Sunday I have something to look forward to. A new song/poem/book rec, and just hearing your voice as I read your introspective and reassuring updates. Love you to the moon and back. <3
tara, your words are always so gentle and sweet. i think most of us are taught to look forward to big and grand things. thats not necessarily a problem, but i guess it takes away our ability to pay attention to ordinary things too. i'm looking forward to finally moving to japan this year, to finally live on my own and build my own personal space. but currently my cat is looking so pretty as she sleeps and i want to just look at her quietly because this feels like a good enough moment for me to feel good. i'm learning to pay more attention. i think i'll start writing down my good moments too :^)
