Across decades, thousands of miles, and the millions of tiny choices each of us has made, it still comes back to this: the kind of friendship worth coming home for, the kind of friendship worth keeping. ❤️ (👉🏼swipe for an outtake & a Chad sighting)
Old Crow Medicine Show never disappoints, which is a total understatement about last night’s show.❤️Live music is human medicine.
It is alright to say, I love this thing, I love it very much, to be completely in the moment of it, not just lamenting the future loss of it.
out of office mood board
once upon a time I didn’t plant flowers because I thought they were a waste of time, beautiful but ultimately fleeting and therefore serving no real purpose for me. but then we moved into our house in may 2019 and my father bought zinnia seeds for us and helped us plant them. they changed things. it sounds dramatic but it’s true. sometimes beauty for beauty’s sake — and the joy it brings — is reason enough for anything. that’s a powerful thing to learn. beauty as resistance to apathy, or meaninglessness. so this is the third summer I’ve planted zinnias. and this is the second summer for my lavender bush. this year I planted coneflowers and dahlias and spirea and portulaca. zinnias will always remind me of my dad, and this whole experience, or exercise in living reminds me how we create meaning in our own lives, and attach meaning to things in the world around us. maybe that’s the true measure of a life — a collection of meanings we’ve made for ourselves.
