What I love about this app is that it feels like a digital cliff off of which to shout your delights in the hope that others hear, and delight in them to!
Thus if you like this app I think you’ll LOVE this book! Over a year Ross Gay wrote a lil essayette almost everyday to exercise his “finding delight” muscle, and reading it is a beautiful reminder that more delight lays on the other side of just tuning in a bit more🍓🥳 This lil app feels like an accountability app for communal delight, which I would highly highly recommend to Mr. Ross Gay himself.

how we feel as someone who isn't the best at using words to express her feelings to someone verbally, i really enjoy using this app to log my emotions and subtly sharing it to the two people in my friends list
collective intended to be a safe space for the lgbtq+ community, it’s not just a social media app. there’s no need to maintain a following or aesthetic, and it’s place to share your life with the intentions of making connections
paired i haven’t used many couples apps, but i love how interactive this one is. everyday, you either answer a question or take a quiz with your partner and as scary as it can be being honest with some really personal questions, it’s fun learning about one another. it also keeps a streak as an incentive to do it daily, which i appreciate with my goldfish memory
lapse its literally a film camera on your phone and you get to wait for your photos to develop. i love an affordable film photography simulator

i love this app because it feels like a more grown-up, more purposeful Notes app with better design. it’s made for essays or poetry or whatever you want to throw in and it even lets you set a daily journaling time so that you can work some writing into each day. it allows you to access photos, contacts, locations, and events from your calendar while also providing prompts if you’re at a loss for what to say. i’ve found it to be really helpful when i need to get something off my mental, but don’t have my typical paper and pen. hopefully it can be of some use to some of you ¨̮

Think: driving them to the airport during rush hour, moving furniture on a summer day, (in my case, see photo) cutting away at their badly overgrown garden when you are not a gardening gal. Or painting their bedroom on a whim, replacing their windshield fluid, or wrangling their demon cat for a trip to the vet.
I read a Manrepeller article (RIP) years ago that talked about how helping friends with these tedious, unrewarding tasks is where the real work of friendship begins. You don’t get so see how they get frustrated over brunch, but you do when you’re both unsuccessfully dragging a couch around a staircase corner, and getting To bond and troubleshoot that frustration opens whole new doors for closeness. This wisdom has never led me astray! I almost always leave these kinds of labor-based hangouts feeling closer and more held in friendship!

My heart goes out to you and your family, this kind of this is never easy and is generally pretty fucking terrible all around. I lost my mom in 2018 after a pretty prolonged and slow to cease battle with cancer.
When she was in end-of-life care something small that helped her feel a bit better was trying to make the space as homey as possible. Lots of pictures, her favorite blanket, and a friend of hers even brought some large stuffed animals that lived on her bed. It was something small that helped in the immediate moment.
I also echo everyone here saying to prepare for the grief but also prepare to sit with it for longer than you think you’ll need. I was only home for about a week after she passed before going back to school across the country, and not having my family/hometown network to grieve with really stunted and prolonged my healing process.
Also a bit bleak, but my mom and I were able to have a sort of ”closing” convo where we said goodbyes, and she told me her wishes for me, etc. if you’re able, it was a really powerful conversation to have and something I hold close when I’m having a particularly hard grief day (which still happen 6 years out! All part of the process)💛
