When I crossed the field, I spotted the most beautiful thing in the world. A single precious blooming wildflower. When I picked it, it withered and turned to dust in my hand. What a foolish mistake that was. Why did I interfere? 📷📸 #photography #liminalspace #nowhere 🌆👁️
Things are sweeter when they’re lost. I know—because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly, Dot, and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand.

I cannot express how happy it makes me when I inspire creativity. It is the single most beautiful thing in the world <3
😭😭 WHY ARE WE LIKE THIS-
but I did the same thing and it was the most bothersome thing when it turned out that I had the wrong side.
I was holding it like it’s the most precious thing in the world (it is)
I went to school down the street and I remember when they were tearing these down I took a standardized test and when I was done and I picked up the scantron to hand it in the desk had an outline in dust of where the test had been.
This building going up at Taylor & Racine is part of phase 3B of the Roosevelt Square redevelopment of the former CHA ABLA Homes site. Like many other projects that resulted from CHA's Plan For Transformation, it is decades late and includes far fewer public housing units than before redevelopment.
Why is my phone in my hand & what is the important thing I actually picked it up to do that I can’t remember anymore & why am I posting instead. A memoir.
I was en route to Australia, and it was the first thing I heard when I turned the radio on when I woke in Singapore. Struggled to process what I was hearing, and thought it was a weird jet-lagged dream. If only.
the other day i was in a bookshop and someone near me picked up a 900 page book, turned to their friend, and said ‘i just don’t get it, when is it ever that serious? when do you ever need to write that much?’
it was so difficult to keep my thoughts on the inside but i did it
Did it pop? When you turned it? I was stepping into the shower and when I turned to step I heard a pretty big pop.
Well, I am the most beautiful thing in the world when caught in the wind.
I immediately grabbed all the tape I came across in Starfield and was OFFENDED when it turned out not to be a precious commodity.
I had an aunt with a carpeted bathroom when I was a little kid and I thought it was the most luxurious thing on earth. Obviously I’d never cleaned a single thing myself in my life to that point.
Sorry that the fully free koolaid was ever a thing. I had a hand in promoting that and it was a mistake.
i forgot what i was doing at the pc and when i turned it back on that was the first thing i saw on my browser
I was just glad I had it! Not something I keep on hand much it just looked good when I was in the store so I picked it up on a whim. Also glad that everyone was chill about it, and that the sides all turned out well.
(probably the most sad-beautiful thing when looking back at that young man is that a why and a how there was that I did not know what anxiety was.)
"to love is truly the best and most beautiful thing i ever did. i wish that when i die, i could at least leave all this love behind in the world."
I turned to dust the moment I received my first comment that was like, "I remember watching this video when I was seven years old" and I realized that put them in the ballpark of a high school graduate now if they watched when it was new
My house is the most precious thing in the world to me, when I see people suffering because they can't buy one, or are in shitty rental situations it HURTS. I want everyone to have what I have.
I think the most significant thing i did was in 2021 when i shared a bunch of my work related to face and hand tracking using a single webcam for other developers, i was doing my own software at the time but didn't had time to finish it, then most of the code got refined and integrated to other apps
my hand was framed in such a weird way when i closed facetime that when i went to the app switcher i thought it was my rod
when I was in college, an administrator thought the sign in my window was a "gang thing" (it was a Homestar Runner sign that I had hand drawn)
I wish I was the most popular person in a room when I walk in it.
*is turned into cute dog*
so, I bought this when I was home in Sept then my parents bought it off me to have as a Christmas gift and I love him as much as I did when I first spotted it in the gallery 🤩
