Thanks for posting the ikigai graphic; I've heard of it before but it slipped off my radar. Being that it's January 2, I'm glad that you put it back into my field of awareness again.

As to the Miu Miu, you have good taste :) I have a ton of designer stuff I bought from Etsy or eBay over the years for super cheap, and I love vintage clothes and purses. I wear my big, round, white plastic-framed Pucci sunglasses with sweats and leopard-printed slippers like a Kansai Queen when I go to Walmart hahaha

i've read bits of auld lang syne before and it's always felt haunting and dismal but this is the first time i've felt kind of lightened by it. it became sentimental and i felt warmth for the past, being asked to recall it rather than thinking about how far away it is. i have never considered the cyclical nature of things in a personal manner, so this was almost shocking with how revelatory it felt!! i think that also made the sentimentality of auld lang syne warmer since it's bound to come again, the love and friendship and warmth of the past! thank you for the warmth for the new year, what a kind thing to share!!<3
