I Need the Lore for Numberblocks
So I have three kids, the oldest being 4. They love this show on Netflix called Number Blocks and at first I thought that it was a cute and educational show just in the passing that I was able to see it, but one day me and my husband sat down and actually watched it with them and we had the exact same thought…wtf is this show?

The Hidden Connection
In a world where everyone is focused on their individual lives, two strangers unknowingly share an unspoken bond. In the bustling city of Everwood, people moved through life with their eyes focused on their own paths. Everyone was busy: work, family, friendships, and the relentless demands of life kept people preoccupied. In this crowded world, no one seemed to notice the invisible threads that connected them all. Yet, two strangers—Aiden and Lily—had an unspoken bond that neither of them was aware of. Aiden was a photographer, spending his days capturing fleeting moments of human life—unsung heroes, children playing in parks, elderly couples walking hand-in-hand. His work was his passion, but he often felt disconnected from the very people he captured. He longed for a deeper understanding of the human experience, but it felt like an elusive puzzle. Lily was a writer, weaving stories about love, loss, and the intricacies of human emotion. She often walked the streets of Everwood, searching for inspiration. But lately, she had felt as though something was missing in her own life—a connection, perhaps. Her words had started to feel hollow, as if she was writing about emotions she had never truly felt. Though their paths crossed every day, they never noticed each other. They were two individuals, each lost in their own world, unaware of the unspoken connection that linked them. But all of that was about to change. One day, a simple encounter changes the course of their lives forever. It happened one rainy afternoon when Aiden was walking through the park, his camera in hand. The rain was heavy, but the park was nearly empty, except for a single figure sitting on a bench under the shelter of a tree. It was Lily. She had been sitting there for what seemed like hours, her notebook resting in her lap as she stared out at the empty landscape. She wasn’t writing—she was thinking, lost in the depths of her own mind. Aiden had seen her many times before but had never really taken note of her. But that day, something about her caught his attention. Maybe it was the way the rain seemed to create a cocoon around her, or the distant expression on her face. He approached, hesitated for a moment, then decided to snap a quick photo. He had a habit of taking candid shots, capturing real moments without anyone noticing. Lily turned at the sound of the shutter. For a brief moment, their eyes met, and an inexplicable feeling washed over both of them. Neither of them could quite explain it, but it felt like they were seeing each other for the first time, though they had always been so close in the same city. She smiled at him, though it was tinged with uncertainty. "I hope I didn’t ruin your shot," she said, her voice soft yet genuine. Aiden smiled back, feeling an odd sense of familiarity. "No, actually, you made it better," he said, lowering his camera. For a few moments, they simply stood there, unsure of what to say. But there was something undeniable in the air—a quiet understanding between them. As they discover their deep connection, they begin to question the nature of human relationships and fate. Over the following weeks, Aiden and Lily began to encounter each other more frequently. They saw each other at the coffee shop, on their walks through the park, and even at the local bookstore. Each time, the connection between them grew stronger, though neither could explain why. One evening, Aiden invited Lily to a photography exhibition. It was a small event showcasing his recent work. Lily had always admired his photographs from afar, but she never imagined she would be standing beside him, talking about art and life. As the evening unfolded, the two of them began to share more of their personal stories. Aiden spoke of his longing to capture the essence of human connection in his photos, but how it always seemed just out of reach. Lily revealed her struggles as a writer, feeling as though her work had become disconnected from her true emotions. They both realized that despite being surrounded by people, they had always felt isolated. "You know," Lily said as they stood outside the venue, the night air crisp and cool, "it’s strange, but I feel like we’ve known each other much longer than we actually have." Aiden nodded, his eyes searching hers. "I feel the same way. It’s like… we’ve been walking through this city, just waiting for the right moment to cross paths." As they shared that moment, they realized that their meeting wasn’t just a coincidence—it was as though fate had brought them together at the perfect time, when they were both ready to connect in a way they hadn’t before. They had spent their lives observing the world from the outside, but now, they were beginning to experience it together. Sometimes, the most meaningful connections come from the most unexpected places. As weeks turned into months, Aiden and Lily grew closer. They spent time together, sharing their dreams, fears, and everything in between. Slowly, their individual struggles began to fade, replaced by the strength of their shared bond. One evening, as they walked through the park where they had first met, Aiden stopped and turned to Lily. "You know," he said softly, "I used to think that human connection was something you could only capture in photographs or write about in stories. But now I realize that it’s something you have to experience in the moment. It’s not just about what we see—it’s about what we feel." Lily smiled, feeling a sense of peace she hadn’t experienced in a long time. "Maybe the most beautiful stories are the ones that we live, not write or photograph." And with that, they both understood the truth: the most meaningful connections often come when we least expect them, when we open ourselves up to the possibility of something greater than ourselves. Aiden and Lily had found something neither of them had been looking for—a true connection that went beyond words and pictures. It was a bond that was meant to be, a reminder that sometimes, the simplest encounters can change everything.

State of Emergency
There is a strong bitter irony of tea in being asked by family about a plan just in case if there is “a state of emergency?”; especially when growing up, I learned the hard way that I couldn’t count on them for survival. When the very people who were supposed to be my safety net instead chose to teach me “lessons” through deprivation, how could I possibly turn to them in times of a real crisis?

I Don't Need Help. Content Warning.
I learned a few things today. 1. I am not good at make-up. Like at all. The more I tried to hide something, the more pronounced it became. I'll try again tomorrow.
