Can’t explain why I love it so much. I love my family, my daughter & wife, but I find myself so interested in pictures of life pre-toddler. It’s not that life was better, it was just different. Looking back it almost feels like I’ve lived an entirely different life, like I cannot remember what life was like before becoming a dad. I love my daughter, and I really love my wife. And I hope my kid(s) get to look back on pics of us when we were young and freshly married and go “Mom & dad looked like a lot of fun.”
indeed i dont think ur kid(s) would be disappointed in their parents lore
yall look like ur havin a blast and that smile is the best thing you can pass on to them
My twin in so many ways 🥹 gosh being a parent is WILD I wish I could share the feeling with you instead of trying to put it into words. LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE 💕
Big Moments: * Birthing my daughter. Was it intense? Yes. But it’s also insane feeling a baby exit your body… my husband and I sang “I like you as you are” to her while the midwife team was doing all their checks and what not. It felt very perfect and so different from my son’s birth. * Floating in the Nantucket Sound and feeling at peace, a marked difference from years prior when floating would send me into brief fight or flight. Also, just being able to swim in the ocean as much as I wanted for a few days. * My son starting preschool and LOVING it. We did a lot of preparation but I was still worried sending him off into the world without me. It’s been awesome to see how much he’s grown in a positive way. I have had so many small moments over the past year that felt idyllic, and I’ve made a mental note to hold onto them. Small moments with my husband, kids, other family, friends. My day to day isn’t as expansive as it was in the past, but it’s deepened. I love this stage of life. It’s full of so much love.
Found this on X the other day, I don’t think I’ve smiled this genuinely while looking at a post! This has to be the sweetest thing a Dad can do and I cannot wait to have a daughter one day! :)
I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup). Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.
florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight. In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.
I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
