What makes a good neighbor?

Darling, a good neighbor isn’t defined by fences — it’s defined by feel. It’s that gentle rhythm of kindness that hums between doors, an unspoken understanding that we’re all just trying to make our little corners of the world a bit more livable, a bit more lovely.

A good neighbor waves, even on tired mornings. They notice when the mail piles up and ask, “Everything all right?” without making it sound like gossip. They lend sugar, return it with cookies, and never keep score.

They know when to knock and when to leave you be — that delicate balance of connection and respect that feels like emotional feng shui.

A good neighbor waters your plants when you’re away, keeps an eye on the house, and pretends not to notice your slightly chaotic recycling habits. They share laughter over fences, borrow garden tools, and occasionally drop off leftovers because “I made too much, darling.”

But above all, a good neighbor makes you feel like you belong. Like this patch of world — this shared sidewalk, this stretch of skyline — is something you’re both quietly tending to together.

Because community, darling, isn’t built with noise. It’s built with noticing.

Stay fabulous,
