I Love Finding Poetry In The Mundane, And Yesterday I Stumbled Upon Something That Just Hits That Spot

i love finding poetry in the mundane, and yesterday i stumbled upon something that just hits that spot

So, my partner has an old phone- It served them for many years now, but it has one issue: Charging it is hard. Their current charger is hanging on by a thread (literally), and can barely do its job. The phone and the charger came together: They've never used another charger for said phone.

Now, they've tried to replace the charging cord several times. But it doesn't matter how much they've searched what damned specific charger the phone uses, none of them work. They finally decided to bring it to a phone shop and ask what should they use.

The guy at the shop looked at the phone for a bit, and explained: "The port itself is broken. The charger you have works with this phone because they've mutually broken each other into the same shape, in a way that no other charger is shaped. The port itself has corroded in a way that only accepts the charger that shaped it like that in the first place."

And while this is of course a frustrating situation for my partner, I feel like there's a metaphor here. I could write a goddamn story about this. These two half-broken old things have been together for so long they've destroyed each other in a way that keeps them from working with anything else. They've hurt each other in a way that barely keeps them functioning together, and have been rendered useless with literally anything else.

This too is toxic yuri to me-

So the other day (read: like 5 months ago) I bought some art at a local shop and talked to the cashier a bit about the artist while checking out, at which point the cashier dropped this wonderful nugget:

"Oh I love that artist, she's local and suuuuper young, she's like, 30."

Y'all

Y'ALL

YOU ARE NEVER TO OLD TO DO THE THING. 30 IS SUPER YOUNG. 50 IS YOUNG. YOU'RE BARELY AN ADULT AT 70.

Learn new things, try new things, continue improving on the thing you're just kinda okay at. It's never "too late" to do things.

ur siblings all being into the same stuff is so funny sometimes. i walked downstairs and my sister & brother were watching arcane and i was like sorry y'all, now that i'm awake can you watch something else so i don't get spoiled? they were like "just let us finish this episode." so i went back upstairs and my other sister was standing in the hallway sipping a coffee and she said "are you hiding from arcane too" and i heard my siblings downstairs go "okay FIIINEEEEEE"
