Everywhere you look, there’s evidence that social media is the ultimate highlight reel. Pregnancy, promotion, romance—the “soft” and the “hard.” But as a young millennial, there’s one thing that pops up the most on my feed: posts about new homes. Whether it’s an apartment or a new home, many of our friends (myself included) have moved back home over the years, and it’s time to claim and nurture our own little sanctuary. And there’s no better way to celebrate that milestone than with my favorite moving-in gift.
Yes, I said congratulations. Social media can sometimes make us bitter and cynical, but it can also inspire greater kindness and support. Personally, I started this year with the perspective that I would *actually* engage with content that I found interesting and uplifting. I would cheer my friends on and spread positivity. I’m just a bystander.
