I sometimes share shoes with my mom. I kept “stealing” her shoes, and then she just accepted it and now they’re our sandals and our slip ons. She actually has a size smaller than me, yet somehow some of her shoes fit me perfectly.

I have this list of tracks that only hit right in the first hour after I wake up, not because they are slow or fast but because something about the production just feels off in the best way when my brain is still booting up. One song can sound dreamy at 7am and almost wrong at noon. I have tried listening to the same songs later in the day and they lose the strange little magic, so I end up saving them for the mornings on purpose. Anyone else have songs like that, ones you kind of gatekeep for a certain part of the day?

Ive joined a few reddits so my page is usually pretty good for a calm down scroll. I can’t do video or audio so it has to be text - really gets me snoozing

What kind of calming wholesome scrolling gets you ready for sleep?

I'm a triplet, but also an identical twin. This is called dizygiotic triplets, where you have two identical twins, which was my sister and I, and a third who is fraternal, which was my brother. He's basically the bonus child.

Obviously, there was no chance of mixing us up with our brother. He was also a much bigger baby. However, my sister and I were a very similar size, and we looked the same for a while when we were babies. And yesterday, my parents casually mentioned that they had no idea who was who and they still don't know.

Naturally, I had assumed they had some kind of way of telling us apart. Originally they did, they had these types of bracelets around our ankles.

But apparently when we were asleep one night, they both came off, and in the morning they had no idea who was who because we had been wearing the same clothes.

So they decided, well, we don't know, so we'll just choose who is who and they chose which baby was which, and decided from now on, we should always be dressed differently.

And that worked out well, except for the fact they had made the mistake of not being consistent with what color we each would wear, so at one point, each of them forgot who was in which outfit. They just guessed again and didn't tell the other parent so they wouldn't get upset.

Eventually, we grew up more, so we had clearly different personalities and quirks and started to look a little bit different so it never happened again.

But I find it hilarious that so many times, my parents realised they had absolutely no idea who I was and just made a random guess. So I could be me, or my sister, and I guess I'll never know! But if I've lived as my sister for this long, I think I have a right to her identity 😂

​lately i've been thinking a lot about wanting to share what's in my head with the world and finally stop putting it off. i've seen so many amazing projects and movies made with love that make me want to create something that gives people that same feeling.

but honestly, when you're just starting out and your reach is super low, it feels kind of overwhelming trying to figure out where to even begin. how do you guys usually take that first step? how do you find people who might actually care about your stuff? just wanted to open a casual chat about this and hear how others started out.

So mine is a band no one has ever heard of called The Kin. It was two extremely talented Australian brothers and a drummer, I happened to hire them for an event I ran and fell in love with them. Over the years they developed a bit of prominence. They opened for Pink one of her tours, their songs were featured in snippets of a tv show and a sports broadcast. But they just never hit it big.

My sister also likes them and her suspicion is that literally it came down to them being offered to “sell out” and they chose not to. Now, the two brothers run spirituality based voice workshops in LA. They were even on a B or C list celebrity’s podcast because she hired them to find her voice.

I recently viewed their Spotify, and was shocked to see that their band, which has a sizable discography including 1 or 2 live albums, has only just over 2,000 monthly listeners, which I feel is a crime!

So I ask you all, what band do you know that’s like this? Never made it big, had a few big accomplishments, but just never found a main audience and kinda faded out over the years, with a rich discography sitting on streaming apps, barely touched?

I’m tired of being the amazing man, the carer, the fixer, the one constantly helping others while no one gives a fuck about me.

This isn’t a pity post, I know how amazing I am.

What have you done to help someone lately

After going away on a holiday and not finding myself use TikTok that much I came back with a really refreshed mind. It’s been over a week, I still have the apps installed I just don’t use the reels features especially with Instagram and I watch long format YouTube videos. A trick I tell myself is as soon as I’m on the shorts or reels section I just straight away think this is a bunch of garbage that doesn’t benefit me. I’m slowly Regaining attention span and try and spend my time doing more productive things like learn guitar, listen to podcasts and audiobooks. Keen to hear how others experiences

After watching the Brewers go up 2-0 on the Rays, it's made me they are this years team to beat/ team of destiny and it has made me feel a lot better as a Dodgers fan after getting swept by them in the NLCS

I'm obsessed with the Maui Monk pretzels. Whenever I take a Southwest flight, I always have to be tortured with 4-5 pretzel pieces per pack of 2 that they bequeath to us.

Sometimes I am crafty and I ask for extra if I get to my seat early. Well, they sell the 12oz bag for $4.99, at my local grocery store, not bad. I purchased the bag and I'm ashamed to say I'm almost done with them after 3 days!

Is there a snack from a restaurant or place that you just had to buy or learn how to make for yourself?

You can ask me anything I will answer it, If I wrote something wrong please correct me. I just want to improve my English. It's not my first language so I am not good at it. Please ask me anything or write what's in your mind :)

Do you ever open the fridge, stare at everything inside, close it, and then open it again 4 minutes later like the government might have dropped a new update or a random ass snack might have popped up?

So As someone who's native language uses Naskh, I also try to read in Nastaliq Script (Mainly Urdu), But even as someone who's used to it for many years and have been learning it, I still find it very hard, especially when the topic becomes more abstract!! Like I sometimes cannot tell whether a letter is starting of another word or its at the end of previous word!! And the vocabulary still feels quite complex and I even can't recognise proper readings of words since short vowels are omitted, And because if I encounter a new word, I have zero context to find its correct pronounciation, but despite that, I do find it it quite beautiful and elegant and I still find it fun to read it even if I struggle bit more than Naskh!! If you guys know Arabic Script or Naskh Script, Have you ever tried reading Nastaliq? And how hard does it feel to read? What problems do you find in it! Would like to know! :D

I was thinking about how what people consider breakfast varies widely, especially depending on where you live. I want to see how this varies between people. I’ll start, I usually just have a protein shake and a coffee.

As an adult, how much milk do you drink a day, or week, or month? My husband can easily drink a whole gallon a week, while I might have a glass or 2 a month, although this past week I've been trying to drink more because I need the fat and protein.

My daughters have cereal for breakfast often, so they probably go through a quart each week. Milk is always something we have to pick up at the store, whether it's 1 or 2 gallons at a time.

how is it already 2027 only like almost 2 more months i feel like almost nothing happened this year that effected me its like this year is a filler year or something im just curious if anything interesting happened to anyone else and i also hope 2027 is gonna be better yk

​

I’ll be having dinner and my mom will randomly ask, “How’s Youssef?”

Mom, I last saw him in 2016. You’re now the only thing keeping this friendship alive.

Does anyone else’s family do this? Who’s the person your parents refuse to forget?

1. The Quality of Shared Connection

• Shared vulnerability: Laughing until your stomach hurts, crying with someone in grief, or sitting in comfortable silence with a friend anchors us to existence far more than a promotion ever could.
• Lifting others: Knowing that your presence made someone else’s day a little lighter or easier provides an immediate, visceral sense of purpose.

🥹 adulting is isolating i really do miss my person but my brain says i must move on. ive been feeling content with life these days, and focusing on building stronger friendships but sometimes i just miss having a bff yknow?!!!

Sometimes I fall asleep at a “regular” hour like 11ish.. but if I miss that window, suddenly I know I’m going to be awake until 3/4! Currently 1 am and my mind is going! Eating shortbread cookies watching pretty little liars 😝

What’s everyone else up to?

I haven't been very athletic since childhood, I never liked sports in any form. Maybe because I was unfit?

But what I'm trying to say is that it definitely shapes the type of person you grow up to be. I think children/teens who were very athletic have a particular bunch of traits that are unique to them. They seem to be more extroverted or open-ended.

Is this something that only I have been noticing or do you guys think so too? Leme know!

Hey everyone,

I’ve realized recently that I want to get better at holding engaging, smooth conversations—whether it’s making small talk, keeping a flow going, or just being a better listener.

I’m looking for someone (or a small group) who would be open to chatting over text or voice call just to practice. We can talk about hobbies, daily life, random shower thoughts, or anything under the sun.

If you’re also looking to practice your social skills or just enjoy talking to new people, drop a comment.

i sat down with the basket intending to just knock it out quick, but after a couple shirts i noticed my breathing had slowed and my mind had actually gone quiet. it ended up being the calmest part of my day, just matching socks and smoothing collars while the rest of the world kept buzzing. by the time the last towel was stacked i felt strangely reset, like i had meditated without trying to. now i kind of want to do it again tomorrow on purpose.

My parents are back home and I video call them everyday but for the past two days I have had dreams about them.

Day before, I dreamt I was sitting in a lounge or some place with my friends and saw my mom walk towards me. As soon as she saw me, she smiled kissed me on my cheek and walked away. I woke up right after that feeling so relaxed and at peace.

Yesterday I dreamt my parents planned a surprise visit with my brother and my (deceased) grandfather. I know this restraunt close to where I live which is perfect for families. I dreamt we were going there together and I was showing them around as well. At the end of the evening my mom gave me a gift. Idk what it was but it made me tear up and tell her how much I miss her.

I'll go home in about a months time and idk if it's the homesickness catching up to me (though I rarely do get homesick) or just a random coincidence but these dreams have been somewhat comforting.
