"I think I spend too much time thinking about what I’ve lost and not enough thinking about what has stayed." sighed a little too loudly at this bit... sometimes i wonder if we purposely chase the longing instead of cherishing what we do have because it might be easier. it's like they say: we don't know what we had until it's gone.

beautiful entry, as always

hi, tara <3 it's monday i'm reading you

not coincidence i think, at end of november was my best friend birthday, we know each other we were at elementary school , we joked our friendship is long as namgi (bts) friendship and ur words right now reminds me how good is it having someone who knows well from the front and back but at same time we can find new things, dec 25th she introduced me to kpop and we started to share a new thing and our convo got more funny, we also have deep convo as well i think it's comforting and healing have this kinda of friend in your circle it's almost a reminder of who you are and where's your home. thank you for sharing ur story with ur childhood friends

i hope this month keep inspiring you and be kind with you <3 if you don't mind I'll add this sentence to my notes "Here is my heart, decorated with the fingerprints of those who have held it."

take care and see you soon <3

i love this one so, so, so much. though i am still so young, i've been thinking (and feeling) a lot about the friends that have stayed. how wonderful it is to witness those i love grow and evolve into their next selves. i have the feeling today's newsletter is something i will find myself coming back to again and again and again-- thank you for writing it and i hope you're well!

hi tara!

reading this made me so grateful for the long-term friendships i have in my life, as well as hopeful for the new blossoming ones happening as well. some of those closest to me have been friendships that drifted naturally, and we once again drifted back to each other. i also appreciated recognizing friendships being made beyond childhood, but that still share that tender nature.
