A group of Strictly irl friends
Friends you met out in the neighborhood at a bar or park or cafe or wherever a couple times and struck up a rapport with. You don’t have eachother’s phone numbers, no social media info. I have a couple friends like this and it’s been such a nice social change up. Always a pleasant surprise to bump into them out and about.

i'm sure that that's such a relieving friendship, it takes away from a lot of the social pressures put on by our current technology... such a good rec, tho i know i'd get so anxious about the chance of never seeing them again :/

Seeing them is a lovely surprise and you also have no social obligations towards one another

had some friend reconnections
Some former mutuals have recently expressed their interest in getting to know me and it’s made me feel really good about myself! one was a match on a dating app (😽) and one was a spontaneous invite to a group hang that has now blossomed into several other hangs both independently and in a group setting. It feels nice to have irl people say “hey i’d like to get to know you better,” especially since i made it a goal to seek intimacy and connection more this summer. ♥️♥️♥️

HAVING INTERNET FRIENDS
I have had internet friends since pretty much forever and still keep in touch with people I met on tumblr and early instagram. I love being like, ”oh yeah my internet friend“ it makes me feel tapped in to another portal of life. And it’s soooo fun when you get a serendipitous opportunity to meet in person

Spring cleaning
Get a haircut, get rid of some clothes you haven’t worn in years, get a new houseplant, get in touch with the changing season, get grounded, get stoned, get in touch with some old friends, get some ice cream, get going

The lighthouse
Maybe not *the best* but it was certainly one of the more enjoyable movie theater experiences I’ve had. December 2019, went to a 6pm weekday showing on a whim after a friend called me to see if I could go. I knew next to nothing about the plot, didn’t realize the whole thing would be in black and white and screened in an almost-square aspect ratio, yet was enthralled for every second of it.
Turned out to be the last movie I saw in theaters pre-pandemic.
