I love them- kind of like a window into someone’s life. Especially when the people are much older and their houses are stamped with the time period. I was in one today that was insanely retro- straight out of the 70s but then I found 2 wheelchairs next to each other- I got upset and had to leave

It’s so fun but so sad. I went to one today and we asked about the owners. the husband died a few years back and the wife was moving into assisted care. her home, clothing, cake pans, even favorite board games were all up for sale. All of the memories in that place were so beautiful.

i feel the exact same way. it's a puzzle, it's a hint about who this person was, it's an outline of someone else in the form of ephemera. i would imagine writers would benefit a lot

they're also so weird in the way you describe--the two wheelchairs, like almost too invasive? I've been at estate sales where they are reselling stuff like half used bottles of shampoo and boxes of band- aids and cleaning products, all their cabinets just emptied out into bins and priced....it's surreal to explore someone's house so intimately yet in a sense of "shopping"

I love looking at old magazines and photos of celebrities and singers from the 50s and 70s. I love remembering the forgotten.

I tend to worry so much about what others think that it’s blocking my ability to be creative and live life in the way we were intended to. What I pin on Pinterest, what music I’m listening to, what I post on Instagram, what posts I like (bc my name could come up on the ā€œliked byā€) all feels so performative And like each thing I do is very strategic and thought out bc I’m worried it will affect someone’s perception of me. this translates to my art too. Before I’ve even created something, I’m thinking about how it will be perceived when it’s done- will people like it? Is it unique enough? Etc I want to start doing things on account of whether or not it makes me happy, or if I think it looks good That’s why I don’t plan on sharing my picture or name on this account. I like the idea that I can share ideas and thoughts and random things with no physical appearance or preconceived notion attatched All of this is very obvious- like yes I shouldn’t be doing these things for approval and that’s not what these apps were created for. Just something I struggle with and wanted to share
