#dont tell the others but you’re my favorite viv hunt add

[gloriousfckingpurpose]

i know pokemon go fell out of the public eye after the 2016 craze but i’ve stuck with it the whole time and let me tell you, there is something so imtimately mundane about vivillion hunting. i’ve never met the majority of my friend list in the game in my life but i get to peek into the lives of people from every corner of the globe every time they send me a gift to pin the postcard from and it’s really neat. i’m friends with a mom and kids in singapore who go to a kitschy dinosaur park every weekend. a lady in sweden who sends me the same playground with a silly name all the time. someone in hawaii who travels between islands a lot sent me a gift from the resort i stayed at on maui when i was eight. another from germany sent me one of a silly spiderman statue in his town after i sent him one from the spiderman ride at universal. you get just a little glimpse at the places strangers pass by in their commute, travel to, work in and live in, and then you share a little bit of yours right back. i hope they feel the same when they pin the little pillar outside my apartment that i get most of my gifts from.
