[someone brings up a thing i love]
me: haha, yeah
me: but seriously, do you have six hours to talk about this because I have Some Thoughts-
I am American and I have never seen photos like this. I had no idea there are borders like this. Even though I LOVE the idea of open borders, I am staring at these pictures like “wait…people can just…walk across some stones or grass and BE IN ANOTHER COUNTRY??? and nobody stops them?? how does that WORK?!” So you can tell that my country’s propaganda has gotten to me by convincing me that this CAN’T work even though…it…obviously can.
These pics just seem unreal to me. I’ve been taught my whole life that this can’t exist. In 27 years no one has ever sat me down and gone, look, here’s how it is elsewhere. It isn’t impossible at all.
I want to add something, but I’d just be restating what they said. I.. didn’t know peace and kindness like this was possible.
The Museum of Broken Relationships lets you anonymously drop off items that remind you of your ex, then turns your story into an exhibit. The displays have helped thousands of people heal by giving them the ‘chance to overcome an emotional collapse through creativity.’ Starting as a traveling art project in 2006, it’s now seen over 45 temporary (and 2 permanent) locations around the world.

Considering how many stories and songs there are about breakups, it’s rather nice to have museums as well. These are people’s feelings immortalized and that’s a shared story. Universal.
