this week, i stopped by a random stranger's house, which is near my work in aarhus, to pick up a little parcel from my bloggy friend molly. it's a small world. a friend in south africa who i've never met in person, but who feels like one of my oldest friends, 🫶 sends an envelope for me with someone she's working with who happens to live in denmark. and it totally brightened my day in this dark time of year. it's a lovely blank book, a sticker, some tags, a cool capetown patch and a notebook that can stick to the refrigerator. i will smile and think of molly every time i see these things and use them. and i will be grateful all over again for this space and the whole bloggy universe, even if it isn't what it once was. i hope this friend of molly's work will take her back to capetown so i can return the favor. and if that's the case, molly, i hope you like taylor swift tea towels. 😘

A lovely gesture. I am glad I came back to blogging. I have met some good people. It's not the same, but that's ok. It's pretty good.
i'm trying to be here more regularly. i miss writing to figure out what i think about things. and i'm so glad to have the good blog friends from the old days. friends like you!
Here I am finally catching up with the (very few!) blogs I still visit regularly... Ah so glad you got this and it sparked joy! I've received some wonderful packages from you in the past - including my first iPod in 2008!
And don't we also love the detail that my work friend is actually Guatemalan living in Denmark, and mainly that this whole circumstantial courier situation had to come about because our postal system (much like blogs) has basically crumbled - but regardless of both of these things fading we still find ways to send thoughts and love across the sea!
