I never knew how much rugs meant to me until recently when I watched the movie Aftersun. There is a scene in the movie where the main character tells his daughter that Turkish/Persian style rugs always tell a story (also other cultures use rugs too). The rug then takes on a different meaning in the movie but I won't spoil it. I think realized that during my whole life, I can vividly recall all the rugs in my childhood home. When I walk into a room, the first thing I notice is the rug. When I touch or lay down on certain rugs, I can recall buried memories. When I was 21 and moved in with my partner, the first house we rented had a beautiful Persian rug left behind by the last owner. I was in complete shock that they left it and when we moved, my landlord said we could have it. I vacuum it several times weekly and often just stare at it fondly and try and figure out what the story is. This rug has come to mean so much to me that I can't ever see myself not having it in the place that I live. I recommend getting a really nice quality rug that can last you a long time.

My girlfriend was deadset on finding a nice rug for the living room and sometimes its just insane how one piece can suddenly unlock the whole puzzle of decor for you. Suddenly I want to spend all my time on the couch now

My family has had this one for as long as I can remember, it’s been all over from various houses, to different cities, to parks and beaches. It’s now the communal prayer rug at my gallery for anyone who needs to pray. would recommend to anyone who just wants something nice to sit, pray, or meditate on. Turkish made ones are especially beautiful!

and wonder why the hell they asked you to hang out? Like I just hung out with someone and they looked at their phone half the time and then asked me the most minimal stuff ever and then after 45 mins said β€œI have to go!” Like, damn girl you beat me to it

isn't it crazy how when you get a drink in this cup it tastes 100% better than any other type of drinking vessel? You can have the same diet coke or whatever but if it comes in this cup it's going to be much more crisper and tasty. Shout out the Cambro 2000P156 much love
