TOKENS OF GRATITUDE

I have been calling in a lot of favors recently (mostly cat sitting as i’ve had a lot of travel necessities accumulate this month for some reason) and thankfully I have friends who are happy to do it for free, so I have been compensating them with tokens of gratitude. I got one friend who’s into sake a nice bottle from a place in town he hasn’t been to. for another friend I got them a big ol bag of their favorite sweet treats. Another friend of mine works on an IOU system so we have been exchanging favors (not in a quid pro quo way more of a serviceberry economy type beat). in these trying times we’re all feeling a little pinched, but a favor goes a long way in helping folks take care of what they have to do without putting them in more of a squeeze. Pay it forward and show a little personalized love and keep that IOU tally in your back pocket and build your own little economy of reciprocity

Doing small Things that show ur friends u know and care about them

This is kinda an aspirational rec because I need to get better at this. But even just tiny things like when someone asks the DJ to play ur fave song without u knowing… feels lovely to be known etc etc

A think piece on why we need to stop asking “what do you do for work?”

“self-worth becomes a hostage to professional accolades and achievement” … “Focusing on someone outside their career encourages a culture where people feel valued for who they are, not just what they do” what are your thoughts? i agree to a certain extent. it depends on the delivery of the question as well. most of the time you can tell if someone is genuinely interested in who you are as a person. asking about somebody’s job can provide a lot of insight into a person’s interests and general character - i think it’s fine for your job to be an aspect of your identity. i could also tangent into why capitalism may have an influence on why this question is asked so frequently.. i do find myself struggling with gauging the intentions behind this question sometimes; which often makes me less emotionally open and usually filters a potential friendship into a professional/transactional relationship immediately.

letting go

letting go of the past. letting go of unrealistic expectations. letting go of your ego. letting go of the wounds you still hold. release and create space in your heart and mind and soul to allow healing and love into ur lifeeee :)
