recently i took place in some very light christmas shopping. it's no secret i'm currently pretty damn broke myself (if anyone feels nice), but tis the season. i have several friends in the area who i wanted to get gifts for. and not just the cheap gift cards, sure i could afford a $5 steam card for every friend. but that's not the point

it really is the thought that counts

i have spent the past two days contemplating on things my friends might like. thinking about their lives, their belongings, and their tastes. considering not just "is this a gift that they'll like and use?" but also "is this something they already have?" or "is this something someone else is likely to get them?" or even "is this something they might just get themselves?"

i've had to think harder about my friends and how care about them these past two days than in quite some time. does this person like hats? would a DND gift be tacky? will this person feel obligated to use my gift but not actually like it?

this can be stressful and very often is, but in my case, genuinely thinking about what my friends love makes me love them more. i got to research wines and pokemon cards and k-pop albums trying to find just the right thing, with the inherent limitation of just the right price

i'm not thinking about how to add value to their lives. i could give everyone cash and i'm sure they'd appreciate that. but what i want people to realize is "i know you enough to want to see you happy"

happy holidays, everybody
