THE GOOD PLACE MEME› [3/7 characters] Tahani Al-Jamil. ↳ “Besides, all the big ticket items are impossible, I’m afraid. It’s not as if you could, you know, ‘sacrifice your life to save others’ or ‘change the consciousness of a nation.’Both of which I did, by the way. Such fun.”
i think a lot about that calvin & hobbes strip where they find a trickle of water and calvin is like “i guess we have the afternoon booked solid” or smth. i just really miss that. when you’re a kid and you get completely involved in small things without any real purpose. i remember when i was a kid i used to observe ants for long stretches of time, not doing anything, just looking at them work. there was no anxiety or guilt over being so idle, and very small things could hide a world of enchantment. i just really really miss that feeling.
