Some items I'd like to add to Bell's list!

- Seeing text bubbles in a chat to a friend at the same time you are sending them a text

- When the scissors glide

- When you're in good company you forget about time passing, looking at your phone, and everything else around you

- Laughing so hard that it's almost like you're giving yourself an ab workout

- Hearing your favorite song by an artist live in concert for the first time

To ad to Bells list:

Getting compliments on your outfit from strangers.

I have a long history of low self confidence but ever since I started dressing in a way that feels authentically me and not caring what people think I genuinely get so many compliments from strangers just out and about and it's such a thrill every time

Thanks for sharing the insights on Mexico's president. Love that I always feel lighter, yet more educated, after reading your newsy. Things for Bell's list:

- a stranger's dog dropping their ball at your feet

- Remembering your re-usable shopping bags

- Getting a 'your book has arrived' message from the library / bookstore

- The driver in the car next to yours at the lights looking over and smiling at your dog in the front seat.

I ALWAYS get a boost when the library tells me that my book has arrived. Also means a wholesome little side mission to collect is in order!

Great nuance about the Mexico election, thanks for sharing that response! Sounds a lot like #morefemalewarcriminals! And like how Girlbossism uses "feminism" as a mask to hide the sins of capitalism

First time I'm commenting here! 😍 I can't understand why but it's just simply such a massive joy to read you - and I want to be friends with you, yes.

I just love your writing style. It's so refreshing somehow. Easy, fun, energetic, playful and full of awesomeness. Thank you for what you do!!!

That's all. Haha. Hugs.

Reading Bell’s list gave me such a serotonin boost. I think why I love op shops so much is there’s always an older woman there who says ‘oooh that’s a beautiful dress!’ Or ‘what an interesting book!’ When they see you holding your purchases 😁 validating ++
