I joined one recently and love it. they‘re all middle aged to elderly suburban people so my “Carrie Bradshaw if she was a 27 year old Albanian girl” writing confuses them, but finding community in your hobbies makes them so much more meaningful.

Not even just for books- there are community events posted on bulletin boards, clubs you can join being advertised, the general ambience of a library- it’s just the ultimate experience for anyone yearning for community, or in need of a third place

💿🔌 i've been working so hard this summer to rip these wires out of my brain,
meaning i'm trying to detach myself from the internet as a replacement for community
🖍️ i think back to how often, as a child being raised in poverty, i relied on the library for community, entertainment, friends, a space for learning, a space to feel safe, a space to be free to dive into my interests without class shame
now, finding myself, as an adult still living in poverty, returning to libraries searching for those same things. it feels restorative in nature 💘 i love going to libraries to meet with people, to borrow media & tools for creation
📚 also, with the realization there is no technical limit on how many library cards one can acquire has stoked this desire to become a member of libraries in different regions
its free, its without shame, its with love, for love

📚I’ve been buying books this whole time?
Also putting books on hold, collecting them when they are ready and have your name printed on the docket makes me feel inordinately good.

I’ve watched this movie maybe 100 times. Oddly enough, it became my comfort film and I would watch clips from it in the car or in bed at very low points. I think as someone who has had deep discomfort with things like healthy relationships and being normal/the darkness inside of them, I really felt such a pull to this movie and I saw it as aspirational for someone like me. I don’t think it defined me as much as it pulled out parts of me that I was trying to come to terms with in my own ways

😃I‘ve been thinking about how listening and paying attention to people is such a beautiful way to make them feel heard, thus connecting you two even deeper. When I tell someone something and they remember it, it makes me feel important, loved, noticed, special, etc. and I‘ve really been focusing on doing the same with everyone in my life. Even when it comes to gifts or plans too like if someone bases these things on what I’ve mentioned I want, it makes it that much more meaningful
