St. Pete is my hometown, born and raised. I wish I would have appreciated the night blooms when I was living there. This is a beautiful message and extra special to me.

OMG no shit!? Yooooo!!!! I did not know you were born and raised out here! I'm just a little south of St Pete in Sarasota/Bradenton area, but I'm in St Pete a lot. only a 45 min drive. wow. I'm glad you got to see these. IDK where u live now, but if you're ever back in Florida, please let me know!

I have a palm tree covered in the flowers. They’re so beautiful but I miss a lot of blooms because I forget to go out at night and look!

I’m not in FL right now but if there are any back when I return next week I’ll send you some. They really are amazing!❤️

that would be amazing!!! i think they are still in bloom for another week or so. I may go see them again at night, I live here but not in St Pete, I’d have to find the ones in my area — everyone up there seemed to know exactly which trees would have them 😆 i love it

I'm well thanks Tesstamona.

Simple things like witnessing an unusual flower blossom are sometimes the important things. You lead by example, I have been getting out and about but I must do more, I can see the benefits for you.

Thank you friend, and thank you for sharing your own experience — it means A LOT that the journey I go on and share can benefit others, this connects us, and our journeys, even if we are physically separated by an ocean :-) Yes to more out and about / IRL analog experiences!

Thank you for sharing! Life has been happening lately and I had a pretty rough week this past week. I’m back in Georgia at my mom’s house after the fafsa money did not come through. I’ve been in three accidents in one week. Me and the vehicle are fine. Iv got two interviews for warehouse jobs this week to get some income. The important thing is that I recognized it is a setback and these things in life happen for people to realize they are not always in control and that something better is for me. The positive in this situation was:

One of my friends who’s house I was staying at in Kentucky taught me some cool practical DIY skills and then we also went shooting so I got to attain a couple new skills that I could take with me

holy shit. im glad you are safe dude. i am mostly extremely glad and proud of you for your perspective and outlook. there is a reason for this, it will become clear in time. I also love that you got to learn some skills from your friend in KY. The things I learned from my Tennessee and Alabama friends… holy SHIT. Those are experiences and skills that change your life. If you come down further south to Florida this summer, LMK, and I’ll let you know if/when I pass through GA!
