every table taken at your favorite coffee shop, but you wanted to sit and read? find a stranger who's not taking up their whole table and who looks nice and ask if you can sit at their table. 99% of the time they'll say yes unless they're waiting on someone. maybe you'll sit together in complete silence the whole time. sometimes tho, you'll sit with someone who sees what you're reading and you have a great discussion about it.
it's really a win win situation. you get a seat in the crowded cafe and possibly you'll leave knowing a lil bit more about the community you live in. maybe you'll even make a friend!
(p.s. this pic isn't a stranger, it's my dad, but he'd be a great stranger to sit with at a coffee shop, i promise.)

I have posted many times about my Friday adventures to the cafe. As I am trying to learn to take myself out on dates, I also am trying to make some friends and acquaintances along the way. I’m trying to develop a sense of community for myself outside of home and work.
Yesterday I had a lovely time drawing at the cafe and I had a conversation with the older man who was sitting next to me. I think he’s been there once before but this time he was asking me about my art. I learned that he used to make art as well. It was a really nice little chat and it really made me feel alive !!! :) I hope to have more instances like this in the future <3

I just love people that I don't know yet. Here I am sitting this coffee shop, listening through the unwrapped, and I see people that I want to know.
Some of the real life people I now know best and that know me best were strangers a year ago. They didn't exist to me, nor I too them. We wouldn't have talked. But now we are knit together—young, old, rich, poor, black, white, introvert, extrovert—we are knit together at the heart: linked by our humanity and desire to connect.
Wish you were here. I'd buy your coffee.

one time me and my friend were so hungover and thirsty we played fuck marry kill with the blueberry emoji, the picture of juicy cherries on the side of the fresh direct truck, and nothing because nothing else compared to the first 2
