tracing that family tree back as far as possible is exciting and insightful af.
I’ve spent a couple of hours looking over photos, reading stories, and crying over people that I will never meet but played a part in inventing me lol

I just found out I have family still living in Poland (I’m Jewish and I thought that most of my family had left) and I’m so happy to just find out about that and all the interesting things I’ve come across when working with family members to compile this tree

i love having insane family lore like a family member that died on the titanic (she was 3rd class and moving to the us at 21) and a great grandpa who was in a plane that crashed in the wilderness
my grandpa has a whole room full of archives about our family which I feel like I definitely didn't appreciate as a kid but now think is very cool

I found a secret half brother for my mother on this website. you can make a family tree without ever talking to any of your family members. i pay for the subscription cuz I love looking at the census records… deciphering that old script, perfect experience for an Ellis Island descendent who likes to use a laptop interface

even if its delusional, I really do love the idea of trusting that all of the perceived hardships, anxieties, and lessons ultimately lead to a path that's catered to our individual needs for growth and learning.
maybe I am detaching from reality in an effort to cope, but I truly am starting to believe that miracles (big and small) happen daily and that we will all be ok in the end.
attention and intention are everything.

rushing for who and what? stressing over what arbitrary deadlines?
if it’s not an actual emergency, then it’s not an emergency.
