Flowers are often given to mark important moments.

They can celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, new relationships, and even funerals. For a short period of time, they often become one of the most meaningful objects in a person’s life.

Yet flowers are also one of the few gifts that almost always have an expiration date. Eventually they begin to wilt or lose their color. At some point, someone decides to throw them away and move on.

What makes discarded flowers interesting is that the reasons they were originally given often disappear with them. A bouquet found in trash could’ve marked an important moment in someone’s life. There is usually no way to know.

The flowers remain, but the story attached to them is often lost.

Many people have small eating habits that they rarely think about. One of the most common is saving a specific bite of food until the very end of a meal.

For sandwiches this is often the center. The middle is usually thicker and contains a more even distribution of ingredients than the edges. Some people have even considered it the most satisfying bite ever.

It can be suggested that anticipation can make experiences feel more rewarding. By saving a favorite bite for last, people may be extending the enjoyment of a meal and giving themselves something to look forward to. It hindsight, its actually kinda beautiful that people look forward to these little things.

Whether it’s intentional or not many people seem to follow the same habit. The final bite is in regards what we remember the most when it comes to our food.

Liminal spaces are places that feel caught between one moment and the next.

They are often ordinary locations like hallways, shopping malls, or waiting rooms. What makes them unusual is the absence of people and activity they were designed for.

Many liminal spaces feel familiar because they resemble places most people have visited before. At the same time they can feel unsettling because something expected is missing. A crowded mall becomes empty. A busy hallway becomes silent. A place built for movement suddenly feels frozen in time.

For some people liminal spaces create feelings of nostalgia, loneliness, or even comfort. At the same time they remind us that places can feel completely different when removed from their usual purpose.

Part of the fascination comes from knowing that these spaces exist everywhere. Hidden in plain sight making familiar places feel unfamiliar just for the moment.
