The Happenings of a Twenty Something

Every night I scroll through Pinterest and just pin anything on my page that I love. It’s become a part of my routine and honestly is one of my favorite parts. I sit with my cup of peppermint tea and scroll through a perfectly curated Pinterest feed. I feel like I have created a board for every thought in my brain at this point, from cute cat pictures, outfits, and inspirational quotes, to jewelry, home decor, and things I am determined to find at the thrift store.

Pinterest has become a sort of escape where I can find pictures that are a representation of everything that makes me me. There is a pin out there for everyone, and I think that’s what makes Pinterest, Pinterest. It has even become another form of communication between me and my best friends, where we send pins back and forth that remind us of each other daily.

I really think it is one of the most under utilized platforms for social media. It’s one of the only platforms where I can sit and not feel like my brain is melting (not to be overly dramatic or anything). I always come away from it inspired with new ideas and dreams for my life, or even just a feeling of kindred with another stranger out in the world. I have begun to feel that with some other platforms there is so much negativity, whether coming directly from the users themselves or just the internal feelings that come with watching millions of other people live their lives. For me, Pinterest doesn’t have these feelings which is why it is my favorite of the bunch.

I hope you enjoy seeing some of the things I have pinned this week, and maybe this post will inspire you to take a scroll through the app and see what you find!
