I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for everything you’ve done for me recently. You’ve truly become my new favorite companion. While I have a solid bond with Email, I often find myself needing a break from his sometimes overwhelming negativity. I keep reminding him to be cautious about sharing too much information, but he remains blissfully trusting. I do cherish our time together, though.
Then there’s Book, who still keeps me company. We share many peaceful moments, and I truly appreciate his calming presence. But I want you to know that there’s room in my heart for all of you, and you’ve secured a special spot in my life. You, dear Pinterest, are always cheerful, supportive, and full of inspiration. You’re accessible and non-judgmental, enriching my life without asking for anything in return, and for this, I’m immensely thankful.
I genuinely couldn’t have pulled off planning an epic Amazing Race birthday party for my kids, aged 15 and 13, without your help. When I was in search of engaging ideas for teaching French, you provided me with resources I’d never considered. And whenever I’m stuck figuring out what to cook for dinner—something that not only looks delicious in pictures—you’re right there to assist. You’ve even aided me in organizing and beautifying my home. Thanks to you, my kids are set for an exciting summer filled with activities.
However, there’s one small issue I’d like to address. Ever since you became acquainted with Email, I notice you appear every time I visit him. It’s not that I feel jealous; it’s just that I used to pop in for a quick chat, but now, your presence makes it hard to keep my visits brief. My family and friends, including my dog, are starting to feel a bit neglected as you tempt me to linger longer with your fantastic visuals and step-by-step guides for creating amazing crafts. Just when I think I’m ready to leave, you pop back up to share “just one more idea.” I really need to set some boundaries.
But it’s not entirely your fault. I tend to get carried away with my passions. I’m a true idea junkie! If only you knew how many projects I’ve started but haven’t finished. Now that I think about it, I will never transform my backyard into a stunning oasis in one afternoon, nor will I surprise my partner with a beautifully designed walkway. And as for turning the patio deck into a giant Scrabble board? Forget it. Those crafty weekend warriors make it hard for the rest of us to feel like we measure up!
Yet, I adore the thought of saying I accomplished something myself, all while saving a ton of money compared to hiring someone. What I love even more is how I can add my unique spin to projects.
Despite all the time we’ve spent together, I sometimes feel a little let down. It often seems you dangle enticing projects in front of me, like creating a fantastic lamp from an antique postcard carousel that would fit perfectly in my travel-themed living room. But where on earth can I find such a carousel locally? Nowhere, I tell you! Sure, I could order one online, but the international shipping costs might just wipe out my kids’ college funds. And don’t get me started on the expense of all the additional materials needed for the lamp. I’m left wondering if it will even turn out well.
Perhaps I should be dedicating more time to Book. He seems a bit neglected lately, and I wouldn’t want him thinking I’ve moved on. You understand, right, Pinterest? I’ll be back to visit you soon, and I’m sure we’ll run into each other at Email’s place.
