my friend was visiting and asked me to help her with the merch booth she was working. and it brought me so much joy.
in these current horrors, help your friends.
you know what other things bring joy to my life? going grocery shopping with my friends. driving people to the airport. reading books beside each other in coffee shops. helping someone find an obscure pepper paste in town. selling shirts at a country show. trying to find an obscure theory book together for book club. sitting on someone's kitchen floor while they do dishes.
you can't complain about the lack of community you experience without being apart of your immediate community, the small things happen to be the most fun and rewarding things to be a part of. support your loved ones.

Doesn’t really matter the reason. I’ve had people unexpectedly do this for me when I’ve gone through rough periods and I try to do the same now. like damn that lasagna or whatever meant so much. and when people are really down in the dumps it helps so much to be around people so take em out somewhere. Remind them what life/the world has to offer cause it’s easy to forget.

A therapist told me once that when I was despairing about the world (which is always) to do something small that can make a difference to someone else - she suggested buying a street newspaper, but I will also give money to someone who asks, tip my barista well, bring in my neighbor’s garbage cans, say thank you and mean it.

One of my pals just gave me a call asking me to give him a lift to the auto service shop to pick up his fixed car. Always nice to see a good friend and catch up for like 10 minutes, and he was really sweet and appreciative
Feels good y'all, helping each other out and all that

this movie is so beautiful to watch if you like architecture. it's encapsulates what friendship means to build despite circumstances and the cinematography is really beautiful, again if like architecture. The movie is shot in Columbus, Indiana which has a huge cultural significance to modern architecture so it's cool to see those buildings highlighted when people don't think of Indiana as an architectural hub.
