I am unfortunately going to admit that I am one of the people who bought reusable grocery bags years ago, and always forgot to bring them in. I’ve made it a priority to remember them and it’s been so so so nice. they hold so much stuff, and I don’t have to worry about the bottom ripping on the long trek up to my apartment. If I do end up forgetting them now tho, it’s fine bc I have cats and use those bags for their litter box waste lol.

Honestly always carry one in my bag because sometimes a little walk turns into a CVS haul which leads to a bookstore stop and then ends at the grocery store - you never know what errands the day will bring!

Each of my bags I take grocery shopping with me tell a story, usually of a time I forgot to bring enough bags. I got my three standbys over the course of living in New Hampshire. I am fond of them.
— Market Basket/Demoula’s bag (IYKYK)
— Trader Joe’s low yellow canvas bag (with a waffle on it)
— Trader Joe’s New Hampshire-themed bag (with recipe on the bottom that no NH natives I’ve spoken to have heard of)

want to preface that i don’t hate the concept of reusing them. my issue is that at this point, they are starting to feel like a regular plastic bag and i have too many in my closet now.
i would rather a store that doesn’t use plastic bags invest in paper bags because then i have more uses for it. love Trader Joe’s bags because not only can i recycle them, i can use them for other things like shipping small packages, compost, or using it as kindling for fires. most reusable bags from the store are single use and can’t be recycled efficiently again.
especially with using meal or grocery delivery services, sometimes the restaurant invests in a plastic reusable bag with cute branding that im NEVER going to use, or an aldi instacart order and the shopper gives me reusable bags instead of grabbing cardboard boxes to hold the food.
i am in a conundrum here and i want out 😂 its getting to the point where i want an actual plastic bag so that i can at least use it to deep condition my hair or recycle it at the grocery store

You don't always have to be doing something productive or creative. Sometimes it is okay to just take a step back and exist.

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.
