Oh my god. This post had me accidentally letting out a drunken, romantic sigh at the cafe I'm reading it from. Beautifully written! I am trying to be careful and intentional with my relationship to the internet. I am hopefully predicting a renaissance of sorts where suddenly, masses of people will realize the points that you've made in this post, and we all return to things like letter writing and reading books and hanging wind-up cuckoo clocks in our kitchens. The irony is that a shift like this would have to initially gain traction as a TikTok trend or something. Hah. Anyways! You have a lovely writing voice and I have subscribed! :)

To write appreciations every day is what I do. Today I appreciate drains lol. Sounds weird but to have a good working drain is a must!
