There’s a specific focus in peoples eyes when comparing two bouquets, especially men, and especially around valentines. I find it really touching. if the smell isn’t enough to temp you into a florist, that tenderness should.
Sometimes you feel wistful and bored but then you look at the flowers you bought that are sitting on your desk and it cheers you up and I think that’s really lovely. I bought pink carnations and pink tulips :)
You should buy them for your girlfriend or your mom or your friends or really anyone you know for any reason. It’s fun to go to the flower store and it’s fun to give them to people. And they are pretty!
I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
