Every year we do this, it reminds me that we decide what is worth remembering.
“i made a mug.”
“i stepped up when my grandma passed away.”
“i got hearing aids and taught myself to walk again.”
“i put up my own christmas tree”
“i kept trying.”
I keep thinking about how these are all things you probably called up your best friend to talk about. Or your mom. Or wrote down somewhere just to get it out of your head.
At some point you decided, “yeah, this feeling or event represents my year.” And i think thats a really cool thing to do together and share with each other.
Thanks for being here and trusting me with things you would call your best friend about. See you guys next year for my favorite project of the year!!!
been making an intentional effort to observe and capture what i call “the best of humanity” lately. if i see people doing something joyful, it’s nice to just stop and join them for a second 🫶 here’s the last month or so of capturing that
pretty sure i said this to @jonathantsugawa a couple months ago after watching him speak in front of a crowd of people, make them feel welcome, made them laugh, and got them excited just by being himself.
we all have that friend ❤️ send it to urs
