One of my favorite sections of any vintage store is the postcards/photo sections. You can usually find used ones that are full of love, and if you are lucky, draaamaaaaa. Oh, the things people wrote to each other about is so silly sometimes. A real sign of the times. You can be entertained for hours. Sometimes there are multiple written by the same people, so you really get to know the skinny on what their lives were like. You do need to know how to read cursive though, because every single letter is in the most insane handwriting you've ever seen.

Once in a completely different state I found a postcard from my mom’s hometown of less than 700 people. What were they doing out there!!!!

cheap from places you travel to and often lots to choose from. i even collect pretty postcards from antique stores and thrift stores, bonus points if there’s illegible cursive writing on the back from the 1920s!

Both modern and vintage. Modern ones are cheap souvenirs to get whenever I travel and are a great way to cover my walls. Vintage ones are fun since they give a little window into ordinary people’s lives in the past (especially if they have writing on them)

It’s incredible how many people genuinely think they are boring. There have been so many times I’ve spoken with people and they confess that they think that they haven’t done much with their life, or that they don’t have much interesting to talk about, but it’s almost never the case. From what I can tell, it’s often caused by a lack of knowing thyself. Or maybe a low self esteem? I’ve been through it too, and it is so so not true for anyone. You’ve done so much living. Why do you feel like your story is not worth telling? I know you’ve gone through some crazy shit once or twice. if you really haven’t, what’s stopping you from getting out there and creating stories to talk about? Start small! go to a coffee shop once a week. See if they have any clubs to join, and try that out! you’ll be making memories in NO TIME. If you have trouble finding meaningful/fun conversation, just remember that the effort must flow both ways. You are merely just working with what the other person is providing you, and if they aren’t giving you anything to work with, it’s not your fault. You aren’t boring, you are just around people who dont vibe with you. And that’s okay! Not every person is going to be your specific kind of person. Plus, if you aren’t having fun talking to them, why does it matter if they like you? the much cooler people who value your input are just around the corner. I promise. One day you’ll be able to shine your beautiful personality on someone who is equally as bright you are, you magnificent comet, you.
