      While it’s no consolation, how happy and fulfilled would they want you to be right now? What self-care can you practice to eventually reach that?

      my heart aches for want of two things:

      1. that a hug could be meaningfully transmitted through the internet,

      2. that you would be willing to receive it.

      … i doubt i’m capable of being That Person, but gods help me I want to be. I want to try. I hope i’ll get to…

    This hits me right in the chest, I want this exact vibe. The tiny rituals, the secret champagne, the open chair, the cinnamon rolls promise, all of it feels like a home that actually makes people feel seen and safe. Pure cozy energy.

    That said, loving idea, hard reality. Being everyone’s 24/7 comfort hub burns you out fast if you don’t set boundaries. Keep the welcome, keep the candy jar, but also keep a lock on some days and the right to say no. You can build this slowly, not overnight, and still have it mean something without getting exploited.
