If life's a game, then I got mine secondhand at a garage sale; the rulebook is missing and I've had to sub half the pieces with found objects.
I'm not sure who's winning, but I'm not out yet.

My 14yo just told me I'm, "such a vibe," so I'm pretty sure I'm the coolest person to ever exist.
(She also felt the need to explain what that meant, so I'm also the oldest person to ever exist, but we don't have to remember that bit.)

“A poem begins
with a lump in the throat;
a homesickness or
a love sickness.
It is a reaching-out toward expression;
an effort to find fulfilment.
A complete poem is one where an emotion
has found its thought
and the thought has found words.”
–Robert Frost

For an industry that claims to value brands, we sure do a poor job of branding. #advertising #adsforadagencies

As someone who lately finds herself weeping out of a kind of rebellious joy, I must agree 🥲❤️

Tuna and rice bowl with my fave NYT smashed cucumbers recipe, salad leaves, avo, wasabi mayo and fried shallots. More like "stress cooking" since it's very calming to prepare 🧘♀️

One Set of China. Five Generations.
A family’s set of dishes has passed through five generations of women, but will the teacups, plates and bowls make it to a sixth?

Great podcast alert: Strangers on a Bench 🥰. A beautiful listen in its own right, but (sorry to talk shop) if you truly wish to be a 'data-driven marketer' it's 'ordinary' stories like these that do the most to sharpen your insticts on human behaviour. Helps keeps that data honest ❤️
