Hey!!! Thank YOU for sharing your gorgeous words. Im loving all these poems. They leave me feeling tender.

“I want to hold time in the palm of my hand. I swear, I’d give it right back.” I love this one so much.

Also dropping love for these:

“Paint it rose colored, or brush across an achy blue…”

“A fog in the morning…”

I’ve re-read these several times. I want to try poetry now. 💃💃💃

What a gem-packed edition! Don't even know where to begin... from the start?

The first one made me think so much about that scene in American Beauty that encapsulates the whole message of the movie: where they describe the floating plastic bag, and the beauty in such mundane moments. Wow, hadn't thought about that scene, or movie, in such a long time. It's funny because for many years it was among my top 5-10 favorite movies. Let's rewatch it to see if it holds up (Kevin Spacey's situation probably won't help).

This song came to mind, with another one (you'll know which): https://open.spotify.com/track/3NpPqKXkS2tbNFLajC4TR2?si=9fcd1e141b094ff0

Mine floats and sink similarly, but also differently, and there it lies our uniqueness.

All others made me feel something different: from eerie autumns to colorful spring skies.

Loved this flamboyant edition!

Oh, I would love to hear what your top favorite movies are if you've still got a list. Although, I hate when people ask me stuff like that because I actually find it impossible to put things I like and love on a scale. I haven't seen it in a REALLY long time though, so I'm overdue for a rewatch anyway. I feel like I'm always getting movie homework from you hahaha I love it.

We might need to do a movie club or podcast between us so we can actually watch and discuss movies.

LOVE the songs. Saved the first one. The second one, you definitely shared sometime that I wrote something about the color blue. It's a great song.

Ughhh I’m such a fan of the paper aesthetic and your poems, your way with words always, is so so good. I think it’s amazing how in a short poem, I can feel so seen. And in others, they’re fun to read and make me feel warm inside.

Must double down on the warmth inside!

Did I tell you Yuhong loves McIntosh apples even though they are so mealy and I buy separate apples for us because I like them crispy

That is excellent feedback! it gives me a huge dorky grin too.

I AM CRINGE BUT I AM FREE

I AM CRINGE BUT I AM FREE

I AM CRINGE BUT I AM FREE

^That's what I've been saying to myself lately

& I love that. This is excellent relationship advice for someone, somewhere, or, everyone, everywhere, or for all of us here, in this candy comment section. You don't have to settle for the less supreme option, just buy yourself the crispy ones your heart desires!! Do not conform to Yuhong's ways!!! You can still have your apples!!
