I was recently thinking how much I love the simplicity in Paul Simon lyrics. Great dismount! “When we can accept everything about the person in front of us, exactly as they are in that moment, it is then we can love them.” Yeeeeeeeees. 👏
My dad introduced me to Simon & Garfunkel when I was in 8th grade, and the songs have always been very nostalgic for me. Love the synchronicity with your recent thought about the lyrics ✨
Wow Susan, a high compliment, thank you. I share my experience and what I’m learning. Then it’s cool to have people relate and feel like I’m learning with you all too.
Damn, I do this with my brother. The expectations, the requirements, the resentment. I know I have misguided good intentions. Like, I should let him grow by himself, like a tree would, but I instead approach the relationship with the micromanaging attitude of Ikea furniture assembling because that, also, looks sorta wooden.
Haha Loudt I can 100% relate to the IKEA furniture assembly micromanaging. I am right there with you with my younger sister. Let’s walk out of IKEA together and into the forest.
That is if we can even WALK OUT OF THE DAMN THING CHRIST SAKE or is it just me with that bloody labyrinth — I mean how many steps do I have to log into my health app in order to bring some lightbulbs back home JESUS
stop 🤣🤣🤣 hahahaha no it’s true. I have a very distinct memory of the onset of panic one time in IKEA because I literally didn’t know where I was or which way to go to get out
Love the apple tree analogy and your sweet relationship with your dad. It was a cute scene in my head as I imagined you playing wordle and your little comments back :)
