Sorry to bother u but do you have a link of your post where you talk about different kind of friendships? I've been trying to find it in your blog but I don't know where it is :(
Hi! It’s been a while since I’ve checked my inbox so I hope you see this.
If it’s not the post you’re thinking of, feel free to search https://9amwarmsun.tumblr.com/search/friendship
There was apparently a setting turned off that didn’t allow my archive to be searched… but it’s back on again so searching actually works.
Imagine the most incredible version of yourself. Close your eyes and picture her. What does she look like? Smell like? How does she laugh? What’s her energy like? What type of house does she live in? How does she feel everyday? How does she react when shit doesn’t go right? Now you’ve got the vision. Keep reminding yourself of it each day by closing your eyes, and connecting with this vision. Write it down. Because what you’ll start to see is that you will start to become the most incredible version of yourself that you imagined.

a year of practice & a different perspective

Hey, friends with poor memory. This is a sign to go ahead and learn anything you want, even if you're afraid you're going to forget it all. Read Wikipedia articles, watch documentaries, take free classes, and delve deep into books and lore. Maybe I'm the only one who has this fear, maybe not. But learning for pleasure is just as much--if not moreso-- about the joy of the experience as it is about memorization.

So many things have changed since I’ve last logged into this website.
Personal life turned upside down, extended family exiled from their homes, the world much colder & cruel.
Alhamdulillah through it all. I pray that we all see justice & experience peace in this world & the next.
