Amazing to think about the pre-pandemic norms that I wouldn’t dream of doing now, such as sitting in a movie theater. Nonetheless, this was a movie (Intruder w/Michael Ealy)🥰 and dinner outing with my little sister Bianca, and some other friends.

It was a great day and I’m grateful for such memories during these present times. Organizing outings like this one is one of the things I’ve always enjoyed doing. It has helped me maintain joy in my life. It’s a rush and a high when I know I’ve been able to bring others some joy. Truly one of the best distractions from pain or sadness, to be able to give from the heart. Be it time, attention, an ear or some tangible gift.🎁 I’m thankful to my parents for having sounded such values down into me. They’ve proved to be invaluable ❣️
