I guess not having a lot of family or guardianship, I’ve found a lot of wisdom and guidance in friendships from different age groups. People who have nurtured my empathy, broadened my understanding, and provided access to unique experiences. Even outside of deep friendships, just interacting more with different generations in a community is important to me.

My best friend is a 93 year old monk and my other best friends are an 80 year old married couple who sing folk songs in wine bars. I like the way they all view life as both a gift and method. I am proud to bring novelty to their lives and pleased that they don’t treat me as such.

You should have friends/allies/cronies both far younger and far older than you. The range should be about 50 years

Having friends outside of my life stage continues to prove very enriching. It's interesting to hear what they are thinking about / what problems they are facing. last night a friend was talking about how she's trying to parent her very independent 10 yr old son (without over-parenting). That made me think about what my mom might have been thinking when I was a very independent 10-year-old. I think that is a bud of empathy
next Tuesday, I am getting lunch with my friend who is a divorced mother of two, thats chic as fuck, and also i care about this person. we have little in common in terms of life stage, but also, sort of a lot in common

Her style is so beautiful and she communicates so much depth about the human experience in every sentence. Reading Lispector is truly such a mesmerizing way to experience language.

I’ve been trying to experience a sense of calmness and peace through relinquishing control. I’m not super comfortable with letting things go, so it’s been nice to surrender a little :)

I actually just found out it’s not as good for you as I thought it would be. There are so many self improvement myths today that I want to be critical of but also think it’s alright to embrace a passing fad. A daily ginger shot feels great on the throat.
