a very wise friend of mine once responded to my disclosure of experiencing loneliness at times in college by saying, “loneliness is crippling. my best advice is to turn loneliness into serving others every chance you get. find someone lonelier than you.”

syd’s all grown up headed to the PROM 🤩

thinking about how dad came to visit last weekend and when he got here at 10pm i was wearing a crop top and he said “hey, what’s up with your shirt? tuck that in. there are boys around. what’s the protocol here?” and then loudly stated “man on the hall!” in my apartment stairwell

i love dr. brown

remembering somethin he said 2 months ago and realizing it doesn’t add up

haven’t stopped thinking about that background music in dr. brown’s video announcement

about time is the loveliest romantic movie. so charming, i could never be tired of watching it

just facetimed dad bc quarantining is not going well and i haven’t showered in two days and look terrible and he really goes “i just took a screenshot of you. i’ve learned all your tricks”

tell me why dr. brown’s family’s full quarantine routine made me tear up

now, more than i do on a weekly basis, i wish i still had class with josh smith

it’s spring 2011. you walk into 6th grade geometry. it’s a good day because you’re watching a short film. you’ve never seen or heard of it before. flatland: the story of arthur square. you’re moved by two-dimensional shapes seeking the truth about the third dimension. art.

dad: “abby, i accidentally made another facebook. i need you to delete it. i was trying to set up a zoom meeting”

my favorite part of quarantine is my grandma saying “good morning” to me every time we sit down for dinner

another day, another 15 facebook notifications that have absolutely nothing to do with me

i swear if demarion doesn’t turn off his notification sounds in this zoom call rn

Refuse to be silent or neutral when people I love and consider family are mistreated, hurt, or thought of as less due to skin color. Continuing to empathize with the Black community even though I can’t begin to understand how it feels. 🙏🏼 we can stand and grow together

watermelon sugar was playing on the radio and i asked dad who was singing and he said, “one direction” so then i asked which ex-member it was and he said, “jonas”

THIS IS SENDING MEEEE EMMA???
