I was shamed by French Duolingo lately about showing up to a dinner avec les mains vide and so I’ve been trying to be better at that.
I say that I dont actually love through gift giving but given the abundance of it in Chinese culture, i actually do…it feels a more longer standing gesture by means of its physical state than a dissolving parting word. It’s a little surprise to the room, a token of appreciation. Even if not much, a little goes a long way.
(Turns out ring pops go hard at birthday partiies)

The secret is accumulation 😆
I buy the odd trinket or beauty product that "reminds me" of friends and family when shopping around, until I amass enough to package together as a kit or hamper. They also work as a bonus thrown in with the big gift.

I mentioned i liked their nice cube to my friend and then next time I came over I was gifted one in pink! this is better than a birthday present tbh. sometimes bday gifting is too much pressure and expectation. on another note stress ball while driving is much more tolerable so i’d like to recommend that practice as well.

Every year I fall into some glum out of sadness, and every year I realize if I just photosynthesize in the morning that I could be cured of eternal woes
I thought this was a big hoax when I first came across the idea but I swear to god if you have SAD please give this a try :)

having a winter activity to look forward to like skiing has done tremendous good to my livelihood in the winter. But this was, and continues to be however financially and logistically inaccessible for a lot of people.
The default way through it is through collective communal gathering and bathe in fatigue. While it’s nurturing, how can you get the jitters out living in a city when the weather can be so alienating ?
