(To react to messages using the image of an expressive squirrel).
My qualifications: I have an entire album in my photos dedicated just to squirrels, I live near UC Berkeley (known for squirrels). This is my version of what you should respond with when you don't know what to say.
Times you should use SQUIRREL:
- A boy is texting you in that atrocious/flirtatious boyish way? = SQUIRREL
- Someone wants to make plans but you feel like a _______ (squirrel)? = SQUIRREL
- You're friend's an awkward texter? = SQUIRREL
- YOU'RE an awkward texter? = SQUIRREL
- Your friend uses emojis you don't have the energy to start translating? = SQUIRREL
The only time I wouldn't use a SQUIRREL would be to your grandparents. They're gonna assume that you took that picture and then it just starts to feel like a lie. But answering with SQUIRREL is literally the most innocent alternative ever.
Recommendations:
- Find SQUIRRELS on Pinterest
- DO NOT try to explain the squirrel (SQUIRREL means you send an image and nothing else)
- If you don't think squirrels resonate with your personality, please choose a different animal (that isn't a dog or cat).

Yeah, this isn't an ode to squirrels. Pesky thangs have made their way into my loft...and all that early morning ruckus is not cute (i have been told).

This is a rose soy candle that I bought in France. Itās pink and itās small. Every time I burn it, I use those moments to mourn something until the wax has melted evenly.
When my cat died, I lit it for about seven minutes and used that moment to let him pass. But even on New Years Eve a few years back, it felt right to let go of the year that way.
While the flame and the melting wax helps me let go, using the candleās pretty metal and ceramic cup will help me keep everything Iāve mourned alive. Because the candle is so small, each time I burn it itās very special.
