A Couple Years Ago, I Was Staying With A Friend For New Year’s And We’d Decided To Drive Down To

A couple years ago, I was staying with a friend for New Year’s and we’d decided to drive down to this adorable strip of locally-owned small business shops and check them out. The bakery was particularly crowded and since I wasn’t planning to buy anything, I waited outside. It’d been snowing, and since moving I’d picked up a “Californian-experiences-true-midwest-winter-for-the-first-time” habit of making at least one (1) tiny snowman every opportunity I get

so I built a little snowman on one of the small tables on this strip.

after about three minutes of cramming ice together, I hear, “Do you want espresso beans for the eyes?” and I turn around and there’s this gal leaning precariously far out the window of her coffee shop, surrounded by her coworkers, holding out her hand and said espresso beans.

I think of those strangers often. just the thought of them all looking out the window to see this random stranger on the corner in the snow building a tiny snowman and deciding to join in, make it special for no other reason than that they wanted to. people are so, so precious and I’m never going to forget that moment.

How did I not find appeal in this website when I was a kid? everyone is so chill and has cool art or actually funny jokes but I guess I liked the timeline function twitter had more???? I used to, and still do, follow a decently sized pokemon comic, and they hosted their Asks here, and I always liked scrolling through it, but never went past that, thinking anything past it would be people being loud about stranger things or how their favorite death note character should step on them so they can thank them for it, and while both of those are true, it's way cuter than I gave it credit for? I guess??? I really wish I had gotten on here sooner, even if I hate how reblogs work and if you follow people who have mutual mutuals the posts show up 3 times in a row, and even if I don't like how new art gets kinda mushed away by said re-re-reblogs without anything added, it STILL manages to feel more comfortable and cozy than other web-based social media. Discord's about the only one that competes, and that's bc it's not remotely the same type of social media interaction at all IDK why I wrote this, just had thoughts I chose to think
