Adding to mariamaria's rec and also celebrating Día de las Velitas but in Canada. The intense snowfall & heavy breeze making my house shake like the three little pigs' rn has made it impossible to put any candles outside, so a mini set up will suffice.
Sending good energies to everyone here on PI and I hope all of your own wishes for the coming new year come true 💛✨🇨🇴

In Colombia we celebrate el Día de las Velitas or Day of the Little Candles (translated literally). This is a day celebrated on December 7th to acknowledge the immaculate conception of Virgin Mary. People around Colombia gather to light up candles for her.
The candles have another purpose though, and that is the one of making wishes. Per every candle, you make a wish of whatever you want. You get as many wishes as you have candles. See my wishes attached below. Lots of people in Colombia use this day to manifest their goals for next year.A very beautiful concept. May all your wishes come true 💛💙❤️.

you get to use all your scented candles, put away the blue light devices, and pretend like tomorrow will be a snow day

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments section– major yuck 🤢

with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and i’m not gonna pretend i’m above any of this because it’s so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst it’s a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. it’s a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity that’s independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they don’t hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldn’t or would‘ve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
