@simallegra That mentality is so baffling to me. A relationship is defined by the meaningfulness of that relationship. Not a certificate.
Your anniversary is ๐ฏ legit and I hope you two had a lovely day!
@simallegra Crochet is awesome because you can make amigurumi (cute stuffed little figures) of basically ANYTHING. Animals, foods, video game characters, if you like it thereโs an amigurumi pattern for it.
@brimorganbooks I ask for experiences. Tickets to a show or class or fun activity. If I donโt like a material gift, I feel bad about the waste, but experiences add memories to my life and build my relationships, which are valuable no matter how the experience went.
@MiaZephyr I totally relate. People are so used to products churned out by factories that they canโt fathom how much time and labor goes into a uniquely hand-made piece. Not to mention they treat the artist like a machine instead of a person. Itโs very disheartening.
@kfrillman I still care very much about most of my prior partners, theyโre lovely humans, so yes I wish them well. There were 2 who were cruel to me in the end, but those were so long ago that I donโt feel resentment anymore, because I donโt think about them. I just feel neutral.
