had one in front of my childhood home. they look lovely, they smell lovely, they are hearty (spent many afternoons climbing it), we never really did anything to care for it (socal weather). they have circular seed pods that me and my sister would always call stingrays. when they matured enough, you could stomp on them and all the seeds would spill out. we had a swing on it and spent hours and hours swinging as high as we could go. its like a purple cherry blossom. god i miss that tree

Had several mesquite trees (see picture), some ocotillos (which I consider to be the tree of the cactus world) and a Juniper tree growing in my front yard. We had eucalyptus trees on the side and a Vitex in the back (which grows the most beautiful fragrant flowers and butterflies flock to it)!! those are the most nostalgic to me. Honorable mention I lived next to a Tree of Heaven right next to my office window at my first apartment and I felt so protected and blessed by her presence

its so fun. theres so many types. abundant cheap options to get into. i recommend looking at jet pens website for both articles and pens you can buy. its a topic with tons of history, but is still modern and active. i have a kaweco aluminum sport which is my favorite but i also love the lamy safaris. could go on for hours about this lovely invention

it’s such a awkward marker of a new year. a weird mix of wanting people to celebrate you, but feeling tired of the obligation to thank everyone that only reaches out once a year.
i always find birthdays really hard, and fairly disappointing.
my recommendation is to give yourself grace, and do what makes you happy. i know it’s such a generic rec but this past year on the actual day i just took it easy, treated myself to some takeout, and watched a show in bed. a few days after i got together with friends and we went to a restaurant i love but they’d never really wanted to go to. and then we ate homemade cake and watched a movie.
sorry if this isn’t a very upbeat response (: <3
happy birthday!! and know random people on the internet are celebrating you (:
