Is this real life
@john-paul-jonesing-for-liberty I'm gonna cry
I just wanna have a slow Sunday morning on a porch with coffee & someone I love
I'm so so sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and positive thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
People on here are bloomin' wonderful. Bless you. Thank you; I really appreciate that.
how terrible! please let us know if there's anything anyone can do to help
Thank you, that's so kind. I'm not sleeping well atm, so watching lots of stand-up comedy in the night to keep me distracted. If you (or anyone reading this) can recommend a good comedian or a good comedy tv show, that would be amazing!Thanks again for your kindness.
How are you, pretty Alice?
If I'm being completely honest, my Dad died very recently and under difficult circumstances, so I've not been okay lately. But I will get there. :) Thanks for asking. I hope you're doing well.
concept: its an october evening and thunderstorming outside. you’re drinking cider under a pile of blankets, and watching halloween movies with your favorite person.
“I love seeing the bookshops and meeting the booksellers— booksellers really are a special breed. No one in their right mind would take up clerking in a bookstore for the salary, and no one in his right mind would want to own one— the margin of profit is too small. So, it has to be a love of readers and reading that makes them do it—along with first dibs on the new books.”

“I know you’re terrified of the space you take up and how the shoes don’t fit perfectly but, please, slide right into them. They’re yours. They look good on you. Don’t skip that meal or ‘forget’ to eat or silence your song and let yourself shrink to nothing because you’re everything. I’ve seen you swell bigger than the Grinch’s heart because you love and love and love until there is no limit, no price, no exchange needed. Let yourself overflow and drip down to your toes and lap over your legs and hug your torso and fill your eyes with brightness. Love is not found or discovered. It’s always there. Right inside you. You just have to decide to live in it. It’s all for you. I promise.”

@lastgunfighterballad Some peaceful and serene images for your viewing pleasure. (Or maybe they remind you of work and aren’t so serene. Idk how you book nerds work lol)
Haha! I love my job so don't mind being reminded of it at all! Throw ALL the bookshops n' libraries my way 🤓📚
