General Discussion Thread 02.07.2025

Welcome to today’s General Discussion Thread! I came across this quote from Plato the other day: “Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet.” And it got me thinking: What makes your heart sing? Share what your version of love in the comments below! It could be a favorite movie, song, food, or a memory you hold dear to your heart.

I'll start! I spent a lot of time in the library as a kid, where the school's principal also liked to spend her downtime when she wasn't doing much work. Over time, she and I had developed a bond, and our routine went like this: I'd arrive at the library, plop to our special table, read the book she'd picked out for me, and then we'd discuss it afterwards. As days went on, I branched out to write short stories of my own because I was inspired by the adventure books she kept giving me. One day, she complimented my work and said: "If you can find it in your heart to keep going, you'll be a great writer in the future." I don't know if I'd consider myself a great writer yet, but she was the first person to ever believe in my dreams. So, whenever I feel disheartened, I try to remember her kind words.

Now, I'm ready to hear your heartfelt tales! Or, if you have something else you'd like to share—whether it’s a cool fact you just learned, a funny story, or something that’s been bothering you—feel free to comment them down, too! This General Discussion Thread is created just for you, so feel free to engage with your fellow members!

What's on YOUR mind today? 💜
