Real or imagined. A pal of mine passed recently and I’d written a little story about him being a lovable menace and it’s so lovely to look over the memory without it being tainted. Just a solid memory of him being exactly how he was

And I mean from what happened at dinner last night to way back to the roads taken, the hearts broken and the debts paid and left outstanding by our billion partial creators.
The stories are just as good as anything you could find in a bookstore, but so much more fragile. Grandma's memories are alive in her grandchildren, uncle's sadness is now more understood by his nephews than himself, but time is gnawing all everywhere forever.
Just a simple written note can be enough to revive the history in the mind and thus, make it easier to pass down.
Of course, perhaps some stories are meant to be eroded; that's for each to decide.

A method ive developed with coping with losing friends i wont get back is to pretend they died tragically right before they did the fucked up Thing they did. This way i can preserve the memory of them being a good friend before they became evil. Example: “Aw, this is something [friend] would’ve loved….. Too bad they died. In a terrible car crash. And never did evil evil things.”

they are facing aging alone in a world that is built for the young. they have stories to share and oftentimes no one to share them with. show them grace (remember the world has changed immensely since they were young), and have a cup of tea.
i read the my brilliant friend series 6 years ago and a few quotes hit me like a ton of bricks and have been living in the notes app since then:
"the world has changed tremendously and belongs more and more to them, less and less to me..."
"Now I was distressed that nothing of me would endure through time..."
"Unlike stories, real life, when it has passed, inclined towards obscurity, not clarity."

Think about it all the time, be obsessed with it! Sneak off and work on your project. wonder how it is when you’re not around.

30th birthday theme was “little miss” not the characters just the energy of being a little miss. The fits were so good my heart is so full

All my friends are great and I love to hang out with them and feel loved & to be silly, and when they hang out and get along I'm like damn I’m really killing having a rich social circle and deeply fulfilling friendships.
If you’re a reflection of your three closest friends (or whatever that saying is) I’m a god damn god. My friends are the best and I love them SO MUCH
