I want them in my space.
Up in mah bidness.
They are either lovely, or funny, or nice, or delicious, or beautiful, or brilliant, or a simply splendid combination of any of the aforementioned delightful adjectives. And I thoroughly enjoy them; the conversations, the tastes, the ab workouts (or laughter, call it what you want), the inspiration, the visual treat, the real beauty of it all. Even the "ugly laugh"? (You know the one.)
Do you have those people in your life? Or maybe it's a thing? It's something to look at an individual or object and feel genuine happiness. Whatever qualities they possess, and however it registers with you, makes you smile.
Enter the sweet, sweet curse of Pinterest.
I have successfully managed to bombard myself with everything I find beautiful. And some things I didn't even KNOW I found beautiful until *gasp*! I saw it and clicked it and admired it and pinned it and possibly shared it.
It is a virtual treasure trove of little pieces of my soul. I log in and am immediately welcomed by...well...myself. The most beautiful, delicious, brilliant pieces of myself, mind you. But I like the biased view:
It is more difficult to not just insert a link directly to my collection of "boards" than I care to admit.
I also have people like this in my life. I either see pieces of myself in them or they are the more-glorified versions of myself that I can aspire to.
Some of them run (NOT aspiring to do this, but...you know...good for them and whatever.) Some of them crack me up. Some of them have classic style. Some of them have the most delightful perspective. Some of them can make a good bottle of wine simply spectacular solely by enjoying it with me. But they ALL contribute to my life in the most delicious way.
I would like to think I would be on someone's Pinterest board. To have been "favorited" and "repinned"...good enough to share.
The part of me that loves inspirational quotes would tell you to TELL THEM. Tell your favorited friends that you love them...and why.
The part of me that loves typography would tell you to do it in a pretty font.
See? Pretty! |
