i'm here on mornin' monday to read, it's very interesting the fact i read ur newsletter after thinking for little bit about how the short sentence as "thank you" carries many things, see you sharing things you feel thankful to have around makes me wanna do too so here's my list
- mornin' blue sky and my two cactus growing healthy and wishing them a good day
- my mom's hug and when she looks at me with a tired smile but looking beautiful and talk about her day and i tell her mine.
- my dad for always catch up about football and basketball games and invite me to watch with him.
- when i go to visit my best friend and time flies while we're talking nonstop.
- music, poems (art) for give me few minutes of joy from this insane world.
oh, i love this movie, i'm from brazil <3 i watched this movie at my high school year in portuguese the name is "eu não quero voltar sozinho" and i think fit so well with the journey of the main character and all the situation he went through, let me reccomend a short movie called "summerdaze" it's beautiful landscape relationship, youth and love there's no dialogue but the scenes speak itself, i hope you like it
hi mandie <3 thank you as always!!!!! i love your list. thank you for sharing!!! :') i'll definitely check out the film this week. looking forward to it! take care
funny and glad to hear other people also recounter songs from the past just to fall in love with them in completely different ways. it happened to me with Phoebe Bridgers' latest album
i always love your entries too. thank you for them
:') i think the same happened to me with phoebe's album too like six months after it came out!! funny how time works like that. thank you for reading <3
i was planning on reading this as my usual monday ritual this week, but smth that at the moment felt earth-shattering happened and i completely lost all sense of rational thought and stability. i cried hysterically that day and the next. today is wednesday and i've gotten better, a bit. i'm not trying to force myself to get better but to feel my feelings as they are. at the same time im also taking little steps to do things that i know will comfort me, just as an effort to be gentle with myself and my feelings. perhaps the person i was a year ago would have been embarrassed to react that way and cry all gross and snotty. this year has brought a lot of learning from all kinds of people, and you and your newsletters are one of the things grounding me. my journey to gentleness is new but im glad that it even started at all. and i thank you for having this space and sharing it with us. have a lovely rest of your week tara <3
hi dee, i hope you've been able to heal a little bit and take care of yourself <3 its a long road (one that i'm still on too) but its well worth the journey. be kind to yourself and your feelings, they're a part of you too! thank you always!!!!!!
hello hello my dear. i have been reading your letters for months now but have always been a bit afraid to comment for some unknown reason but your list of things you are grateful for overpowered that fear. specifically, the one of foods. i am sitting in a lecture right now at university (during a quick break between lecturers) reading this. i am about to cry. i feel like you can see into my brain. it's wonderful how two people can have different reasons to be thankful for the same foods. i wanted to share mine with you as you have shared with us.
Risotto [it is the first thing i make for new people i love {funny enough, it's what I'm making for dinner tonight for my friend's birthday, the first one i've known her for} it is my favourite thing to make for my family. acts of services tied into a labour of love].
Mushroom soup [a strange late night snack i would sip from a mug with my dad at 11 pm after watching an old movie].
Tofu bowls [a recent specialty made specifically for my sister after she became vegan so that she can eat well with love].
Chickpea salad [a recipe my grandmother makes, taken from a magazine clipping].
Sourdough bread [my mother's two year obsession, i have eaten sourdough starter in every way a person can].
i feel such a strange need to tell you of our similarities, connect to it with a human touch on my end. thank you for this newsletter, i can not wait until next sunday. be well <3
oh wow!!! this is so touching, thank you so much for sharing. it's really amazing how we can all be connected through little bits of life like that. it's the little things that bind us together, really! be well too <3 thank you
thank you so much for reading and for leaving a comment <3 i am always so appreciative when people share their thoughts!!!!!! please tell your dog friend hi for me, i totally understand that feeling of random deep gratitude for something that may seem small. just know that its okay that it feels big!!!
