Decades long internet friendships

There are folks that I met on tumblr as a teenager With whom I'm still in contact today. These are people that I've never met face to face, But whose secrets I know, whose angsts I know. People I have grown into adulthood with. People who have surprised me, People who have met my expectations, People who are working, or aren't, People who now have kids, or don't. People who I am tied to by ethereal internet threads that have remained unsevered for over a decade. Every once in a while we message each other, And it feels like catching up with an old friend. The modes of our communication, Remain the same.

A think piece on why we need to stop asking “what do you do for work?”

“self-worth becomes a hostage to professional accolades and achievement” … “Focusing on someone outside their career encourages a culture where people feel valued for who they are, not just what they do” what are your thoughts? i agree to a certain extent. it depends on the delivery of the question as well. most of the time you can tell if someone is genuinely interested in who you are as a person. asking about somebody’s job can provide a lot of insight into a person’s interests and general character - i think it’s fine for your job to be an aspect of your identity. i could also tangent into why capitalism may have an influence on why this question is asked so frequently.. i do find myself struggling with gauging the intentions behind this question sometimes; which often makes me less emotionally open and usually filters a potential friendship into a professional/transactional relationship immediately.

just asking for the shit you want

been doing this more in my everyday life. respectfully ofc. some things i’ve received/am receiving recently from simply asking for it 🤭: - free cocktail! - free ride (i don’t drive) - awesome music reccs - pretty styling pieces for a potential future shoot :) - the beginnings of a fun and crafty project - beautiful bloomers - new friends to hang with grateful for the people who are so giving. makes me want to pay the deed forward. and i do.

letting go

letting go of the past. letting go of unrealistic expectations. letting go of your ego. letting go of the wounds you still hold. release and create space in your heart and mind and soul to allow healing and love into ur lifeeee :)
