you are, therefore maybe, something like the glue, the ambassador archetype, the invaluable in-between… you’re priceless and we’re all lucky for it!

can feel unsettling in-between, sometimes, belonging everywhere. Leo dining ❤️‍🔥✨

beautiful story. There’s a sweet spot for sure, I think, in which you can experience the growthy personal expansion of ‘bigger and better’ even within a seemingly narrow field or purview.

trying to reconcile, or middle-out, disparate notes. Trying to determine the ‘correct’ note for the environment, etc.

imagining emotions as keys on a piano was a watershed insight/shift for me (via IFS).

It’s just fine to play two keys at once. Maybe it’s harmonious or not, momentarily… until another key etc. That’s music.

Previously, I think I spent a lot of bandwidth…

Once upon a Pancake — creative writing activity books
These books aren't finished. It's up to you and your kids to imagine what happens next. A fun, screen-free way to help children fall in love with storytelling.

and part of creation is subversion… which can be prosocial (playful), or chaotic (destructive).

the joyful little rush of last few days has felt to me like a density of conscious pro-social players. Feels good!

still need ways for cool non-rich to join later, and ways to kick out anyone (whether cashed or not)

haven’t read up on fwb and similar recently, but I wonder how the vibes have gone?
