i bring my chessboard everywhere with me and play chess with people i’d never spoken to before then,
possibly the best gift i’ve received, it’s magnetic, light, and the only social lubricant that successfully substitutes alcohol
despite being in chess club as a kid, i’m not good at chess, i lose most games, but the thought of my comeback drives me forward #underdog
i’ve played chess at the beach, in parks, at restaurants and on mountains, if you do one thing for yourself this year, buy a chessboard

I think probably the most brilliant game. To me playing chess is sort of a return to my childhood. I randomly had the thought about 6 months ago like “why don’t i just start to play chess again?” and I am happy I did. also didn’t realize how many dear friends of mines were also chess fanatics until I started playing more… I think when you just really dive into little things you enjoy you get rewarded for it. Chess is awesome and it works your brain.

Just came here to tell everyone I’m playing chess for the millionth time. I play literally everyday now online. I haven’t played a videogame in weeks. I’m challenging everyone I know irl too. I discovered my neighbour plays and I’m going to play a game with her soon. Chess has taken over my life and I’m loving it. Just discovered there’s a chess night as a local cafe too.

There’s nothing quite like falling asleep in the sun in 30 degree weather, one of life’s greatest blessings. I love a little honk shoo to forget what I should be doing instead.

When looking up in a densely packed forest, i find there is so much beauty in the cracks where the sunlight escapes between a canopy of trees. Like maps of rivers, or veins in the arm, the space between has so much merit in its own and more, so many stories to tell. I love looking up! We should all make more of a habit of it! Wings of desire!
