You Meant Everything To Me ๐Ÿ’›
In the labyrinth of life we meet,
A soul so captivating, so complete.
They had everything you ever desired,
And more, your heart was truly inspired.
But as time passed, things began to fade,
Blame and doubt, a painful cascade.
You found yourself at the center of the maze,
Every path led back, in a bewildering daze.
You longed for an emotional connection,
A sense of comfort, a deep reflection.
tried as you might, it could not be found,
Your heart ached, with every painful sound.
Pouring your heart out, you shared your pain,
Hoping for solace, some sort of gain.
Yet the distance grew, the gap unmet,
And You knew in your heart, the end was set.
It tore you apart, to walk away,
From someone who meant so much, day by day.
But sometimes, despite all you may try,
The pieces don't fit, no matter how high you fly.
So your left with no choice but to part ways,
To heal your heart, in bittersweet days.
Though hurting deeply, you must let go,
For in the end, it's the only way to grow.
*you meant everything to me.*
Yours faithfully๐ŸŒป

When I was a kid, we moved into a house that had a huge lilac tree out front. It was mostly rotten, and it needed to be taken down before it fell. It took a while, but eventually, it was gone.
Mostly. A couple years later, little lilac babies popped out of the ground in its place. My mom was determined to get rid of them, because she'd planted a beautiful flower garden there, and the lilac trees would overshadow and kill the whole garden. I insisted on saving at least a few saplings. She said fine, but I had to dig them out and put them in pots myself.
So, I did. I spent days digging little lilac bushes out of the ground and putting them into pots. Some couldn't be saved, but some could. When all was said and done, I had five brand-new lilac saplings. Seven or eight years old, and it was my absolute pride and joy.
Three died due to sun scorching, severe drought that no amount of watering could save, and perhaps just being moved from their place in the ground. But two survived, and I was awfully proud of them! I'd go out and talk to them every single day. I watered them by hand and made sure they were fertilized properly. I learned all about their favored environments, and I was determined to make sure they lived.
One of my mom's friends saw what I was doing with the lilacs. She asked if she could have one to put in her backyard, and I agreed on the condition that she take very, very good care of it.
It's now fucking enormous. I'm talking ten feet tall and bursting with beautiful purple flowers every spring. My mom still gets updates each year as they start to bloom, which she forwards to me. And all I can think is, "That's my friend! Thriving some twenty years on, there it is."
The other tree nearly died, too. It lived in a pot for far, far too long. I wanted to plant it somewhere in my parents' yard, but my mom was reluctant. Eventually, we agreed to put it in the far back garden. It grew okay for many years, despite the shade, but in all these years, it's never bloomed.
Last year, the massive tree casting massive shadows over the lilac and the garden cracked in half and fell. It tumbled into the garden, crushing part of the nearby shed and destroying a few plants beneath it.
It missed my lilac by inches.
The clean-up is long done. The rest of the tree has been cut down, and my lilac has full sunlight for the first time in fifteen years. It won't bloom this year, I know. But it's got new shoots up. It's taller than ever. I spent half an hour a few weeks ago praising it for surviving all this time, dreaming about its future and telling it how I believe it'll become the tall beauty it's always been meant to be.
I think next year, I'll see flowers.

The Baby Is Fine
For sale baby shoes never worn. Oh he's not dead or anything he's just massive and they don't fit
For sale baby shoes never worn. They're Gucci, my sister got them for me and I'm not putting $600 shoes on a newborn Why the hell would anyone buy these? She's an idiot.
For sale baby shoes never worn. At least I don't think so. I found them in the eggs at the grocery store and they look pretty clean $20 obo
For sale baby shoes never worn. She doesn't have any feet but it's hardly slowing her down, honestly. I guess you can't miss what you never had.
For sale baby shoes never worn. Bought them and forgot about them for like six months, never even took them out of the box and now they're way too small. My brain is fried.
For sale baby shoes never worn. Fair warning though, they've got fucking minions on them.
For sale They were a gift from my great aunt and I don't want anything from that wretched harpy.
baby shoes I thought I could put them on my dog so he doesn't slip all over the kitchen floor but yeah it didn't work
never worn. I don't know. They're just ugly. Do I need a reason?

iโ€™m still figuring out how redbook works so i canโ€™t share the video here yet, but yโ€™all.
a woman made a post on tiktok talking about li hua, a pseudonym students in china learning english would write under to american โ€œpen pals.โ€ these letters were never sent. apparently it was crazy common, hundreds of letters have been written from li hua.
and people have started saying they feel like li hua is getting a response.
this woman posted this on tiktok and the comments were full of people writing responses, apologizing to li hua for not being in touch for so long. and one american mentioned how when they were a kid they dug holes in the beach and thought if they dug deep enough they could reach china all the way on the other side of the world, and that just awoke some MEMORIES. like, i did that. i dug holes in the sand and wondered how close i was. โ€œas children we dug holes at the beach to try to get to you. we wondered what youโ€™d be like our whole lives.โ€
the same woman made a post talking about THAT on redbook, saying it feels like weโ€™ve both been just struggling to reach each other for so long. โ€œi suddenly realize, this meeting was actually a two way effort. itโ€™s like youโ€™ve done a lot of hard work and come a long way before a date, and the wait was too long that you gradually started to forget the original intention of embarking on this road, and began to doubt, is your date real? suddenly one day, they really appeared in front of you and tell you i also made an effort to see you. and thatโ€™s a wonderful thing.โ€
idk that just made me cry a bit. iโ€™ve seen a couple people refer to the feeling of being a little kid at the playground again, awkward and clumsy and sometimes hurting each other but everyone just eager to meet and share what they love.
