Editor’s Note

Things I Learned Growing Up
is a blog dedicated to the fragility of time, nestled somewhere between nostalgia for the past, a deep yearning for the future, and the unshakeable longing to live boldly in the present. Here, we celebrate the people who move us, the moments that inspire us, and all the fears, desires, hopes, and doubts that make us human.

I've never been a nap person but maybe now I am. Who knows!⁠

Long live dead daffodils! 💛⁠

Another post on...feeling things! ⁠(kinda)

Have you ever drank whisky out of a wine glass?! ⁠

A moody weather inspired post on change. ☀️🌦️🌧️☁️⁠

Some old journal entries which feature a crow, cream earl grey, and John Mayer. ⁠

"An ice cream cone is childhood in the same way pencil shavings, and sand castles, and lunch boxes are childhood." 🍦⁠

As soon as it's allowed, I'm hosting a dinner party and you're all invited. ⁠
