I'm always amazed when people are able to shift gears so quickly, I can't. It does look like a beautiful day though. Hope all was worked out!

Right! The ability to just drop everything and move on is lost on me 😅. I feel my super power is resonance and that has its strengths and weaknesses.

That sounds like a pretty great superpower actually!

“Are any places tainted to you due to an emotional experience had there?”

I won’t say tainted but places my ex and i went always brings back memories that almost make me teary. Man! i experienced peak love, only wish it was still here.

“What remains on your summer to-do list?”

mine is going on a train with no destination in mind. Just want to wander away.

“Have you been to any professional sports championship game?”

no. But i’ll love to. I’m thinking of going to see a toronto raptors game since they’re the closest basketball team to where i live. The only challenge is the team stinks right now!

Wow to experience peak love - what a thought.

Train wandering sounds amazing. Not quite the same but I have a bucket list desire to take a cross country train, either in the US or Canada and watch all the landscapes and greenery pass me by.

Hahaha I understand sucky sports teams. There’s a Jets fan in my family 🤫. Maybe go when they play someone like LeBron or Ant Man? That makes for at least an entertaining experience.

true that! you’ve given me an idea. To go when a star player is going to be in town.

i might actually be love struck. I swore i’m never love struck by anyone but if i see steph curry in the arena, i might actually lose it screaming! 🥹🥹

I commend your honesty. It’s refreshing to see a human on social.

yooo! i can’t believe she actually wrote that shocking piece. I think more people need to see it.

Like i was really expecting a happy ending story but we forget sometimes even the unpleasant happenings are the happy ending too.

I’d say a place that’s a bit tainted now are amusement parks. I loved them as a young youth, present day I keep a healthy distance from self induced terror and intentional g forces. (aside from my car rides.)

Big exception on the car rides! 😂
