“The Best Portion Of Your Life Will Be The Small, Nameless Moments You Spend Smiling With Someone Who

Reblogging because I saw a group of friends so happy together. I want to feel those too with friends (if I ever get to have). Only if I'm social enough (which I wouldn't even dare try).

I. AM. FEELING. ENVIOUS. HAHAHAHA. WHY DON'T I HAVE FRIENDS?

I need someone right now. Someone I can tell what I'm feeling right now. That I'm sad and hurt. Just... Why don't I have friends? Why the fuck am I crying already? This is shit.

The city of Vannes, Brittany, France

The city was founded In 56 BC by the Romans under the name Darioritum in a location previously belonging to the Veneti. The Veneti were a seafaring Celtic people who lived in the south-western part of Brittany in Gaul before the Roman invasions. The actual name Vannes comes from the term Veneti.

BAGSIKDIWA,

Why are you all ignoring my messages? I felt very much out of place. You kept on talking and talking and didn't even bother to entertain what I said. I'm hurt.

I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.

What I learned this past few days:

It’s natural to ask ourselves if this is the life we wanted. A lot of us navigate through life still searching for a place to belong no matter who we are or what we do.

We must find our why. Why we keep doing the things we are doing. What makes us stay.

We must remind ourselves that we are here. Do not let the worry, overthinking, and doubts, make us fail to see how great is the now.

So breathe. Soak it in.

The laughs, the memories, the ideas shared. The frustration, the late night voices and the sleepy morning greetings. We are here, with these people, with these memories.

No matter how lost we are, or how dim our paths could be, let these memories and experiences light our way.

So run along now. We might be lost, but this journey is as good as being found.

Sincerely,

April 🍃

I have about 40 books. Most are unread and/or untouched because I've read them as ebook already. I only purchased them because I like the feeling of finally having them physically. I say the pandemic has greatly impacted my book buying act since I don't get to go to the bookstore always.

Book Discussion

I’m curious, how many books people own that they have not read. most of booklr seems to have a large number from what they’ve said, but my collection seems much smaller (not counting e books, I have around 25).

totally not meant to be judgy, I’m just very curious about how many other people have.

reblog and make a wish! this was removed from tumbrl due to “violating one or more of Tumblr’s Community Guidelines”, but since my wish came true the first time, I’m putting it back. :)
