More Complete
By @JFM
A dozen art galleries adorn the two-mile walk from my home to our studio. Whenever I stroll past a gallery, I often think, Wouldn’t that painting look great in our living room?
Wouldn’t this picture frame fit perfectly in our daughter’s bedroom?
Wouldn’t those photos complete our dining room?
But then I pause to consider my impulses.
Truth be told, our home is already complete. And the “perfect” bookshelf, couch, or chair won’t make our home more complete.
Our things should add value to our lives: they should augment, enhance, or amplify our experiences. Which means, fine, get that new coffee table if it makes sense. But it simply doesn’t make sense if the reason is completion.
Things don’t complete us. We are already complete.

How to Go Clothes Shopping
By @JFM
The average American tosses 88 pounds of clothes each year. Yet we keep buying more when we actually need less.
Pull any article of clothing from the back of your closet, the bottom of your dresser, the bin in your basement. When’s the last time you wore it?

Last month?
Last year?
Last decade?

Do I Want to Keep This?
By @JFM
Even as a decade-long minimalist, I still need to cull my excess from time to time.
I’ve been going through my clothes this week, even those that fit into the 90/90 Rule, and I’ve been asking myself, “Do I want to keep this?”

Would You Be Willing To?
By @JFM
Whenever something is going wrong, whenever I’m not getting the desired outcome, whenever I need support, these five words help more than anything else: Would you be willing to (blank)?
I have to take my daughter to school. Would you be willing to move our meeting to the afternoon?

Omega prince Jimin is the prettiest omega in royalty who has tons of suitors, but none have managed to steal his heart.

His personal body guard, Alpha Min Yoongi has one motto :

"If they want to get the fairest, they have to go through the fiercest."

"YOOOOOONGIIIIIII-" Jimin grinned when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps came nearer and nearer.

An alpha in his usual dark suit appeared in the doorway of Jimin's grand luxurious room. "WHAT- WHO- DID SOMEBODY HURT YOU?" He was almost out of breath since he

A FEW WEEKS LATER...

a child at the daycare: hobi hyung, where's that friend of yours that visited once?

hoseok: what friend?

child: blonde hair, got grumpy when you called him "cute"

hoseok: i don't have a friend like that...

to be continued...

...

child: are you sure?

hoseok: ... doesn't ring a bell.

(the child grins up at hoseok)

child: well i liked him. he told us not to tell you, but he helped us put all our toys away while you were out.

hoseok: oh yeah, and why'd he do that?

(hoseok bends down w/ a smile)
child: because he said you'd tease him!

hoseok looks at the boy with a sad smile, unable to recall a friend with that description. he opts towards playing along with the child instead-- the child who so eagerly tries to convince hoseok that a friend like that once existed.
