She lives in the city and I love going up to her apt to flip through my family history in a scrapbook on her bookshelf. My grandpa + grandma were big travelers. She was from Switzerland he was from Egypt. I think their zest for life shines through the pics taken of them

It’s a way to transcend time and to be connected to people in your family you feel you might not easily relate to because of the generational divide, especially if they’ve passed. It’s a look into their genuine interests and personality, especially if they’ve annotated in the margins. The ability to do this is valuable if you can. I think it builds or strengthens empathy, and gives you a stronger foundation for appreciating your family history. Not to mention you’ll likely get an interesting reading experience out of it. The (+) is for great-grandparents and beyond.

after having an ovarian cyst for a while and finding out 4 months later that THATS why I was feeling deranged and horrible all the time I can’t get this thought (truth) out of my head — hormones are kind of everything! period cycles interest me so much now in a way they didn’t before bc I can clearly see the effects of them on our psyches/energy. for example I can always tell when a friend of mine is ovulating or PMSing. now I’m 24/7 yapping about menstruation/women’s health to all my friends.. or anyone who will listen really. mind-body connection fr fr
OUT: thinking that asking about periods is rude; men Tiptoeing around the subject of periods; discounting what hormones do to our bodies and minds !!!!

I liked finding out that this is a word/thing cuz I totally relate. I just love (going to or hosting) events (apartment housewarmings, dj sets, dinners, breakfasts, movie nights, whatever it may be..). if it's a thing that's happening and I'm with/inviting friends, it's An Event idc!

By just having some time to myself to smoke a j alone and vibe in my room. Have not done this in years, didn’t smoke for a while either (classic reasons, anxiety etc) but it’s been fun to see myself as more grown up since I last did this. kind of feels like convening with a past self and being like - yes life is weird but that means that anything goes and that’s great, I’m having fun 🫶🤷♀️
