Max's Most Loved ♥️ February

My 1yr "Philiversary", LIX, Legos, & a gift for you, LoveNote lovers!

Despite the fact that February contains my favorite holiday, it is usually a month that gets me down. I am not immune to the cold and dark, it gets to me like it does all of us. I’m happy to say this one has actually been a bright spot! Here’s what’s made it so fun for me this time around :

♥️ This is my second February in Philadelphia. I just passed the one year anniversary of my move. I’ve moved to a few major cities by myself over the years and what I notice is that it takes a full two years to feel fully settled in to your new home. I may not be quite there yet, but I’m happy to reach such a big milestone. This city has truly charmed me in ways I never expected.

♥️ My “Philiversary” happaned to coincide with the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX win. I am not a Sports Girl, (despite coming from a very Sports Family…) so I had no plans to go to the parade, but fate had other plans.

I was running errands unaware the trains were rerouted and ended up downtown. Just as I exited the station, the podcast I was listening to mentioned a trivia fact about some team not having won the big one since 1966 and it occured to me that I may never get to see something like this again. Y’know, what the hell?! Let’s do it!

So glad I went for it! Not for the parade itself, but for the people watching! I got to sing along with strangers in the streets while they helped each other climb statues to dance together. I saw a man take off his belt and aggressivly self-flagellate in joy. I watched another citizen casually slide out of the back of a trash truck. No other population is offering this level of pure strangness and entertainment value. Philly is one of the weirdest places on Earth and I completly adore it!

♥️ Locking myself in my bedroom and completing a self-imposed Lego Marathon. I was blessed with the Hokusai’s “The Great Wave” set and Mr Lego himself threw in a few bonus mini sets, including a bouquet of wild flowers and this precious heart-shaped box of chocolates. Obviously, all have been incorporated into my bedroom decor at this point.

If you want to contribute to my habit, this Van Gogh is the piece I have my eye on next. I have a spot in my living room just for it.

♥️ Planning my Spring travel. I’m not announcing exact dates yet, but Q2 includes visits to Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Milwaukee, and (naturally) Chicago. I’m sure a few quick jaunts to NYC will also pop up for me. They always do!

I am lucky to go back to Chicago regularly and stay integrated in my longtime social circle. I’m committing to go back to the Windy City every other month for now, possibly EVERY month in the future. Just let me feel it out…Stay tuned! ♥️

♥️ Substack is my favorite platform, but Onlyfans offers me another type of outlet for my creativity (ifyouknowwhatImean…). I have been posting consistently on main for awhile now, but I’m back to releasing weekly clips! Everyone knows the main feed is fun, but the good stuff is in the “extracurricular content”.

Let me know what you’d like to see going forward!
