it's a pretty smooth / easy conversation starter without being too serious and can be cheeky or cute depending on the delivery
said it to a guy last week and he's like "i just saw you less than a week ago? are you implying that i've quit my corporate job since the last time we spoke"

I think this is the ideal conversation starter and a refreshing spin on the daunting “how have you been?” question. It’s still casual enough that you don’t feel like you’re reading index cards but can lead to tangents, possible mutual interests, and insights into a persons day to day life. Maybe they’ve started a new hobby or a good book or they’re taking a class or they are like me and have become a total iPad baby to fill the long summer days. If someone says “ugh just a lot work” you could go in the “what do you wish you were doing instead?” direction and see where it leads. The best thing to pair with a conversation starter is genuine curiosity and intrigue no matter how mundane you may find the response to be. People are more willing to open up if you make them feel interesting.

this one's perfect for when you're on vacation or like a night out. when someone tells you where they're from you have to answer "me too!" and then when specifics like school or hangouts or whatever comes up you always say you went there or you've been there. Then start throwing out names, asking if they know people. It's the bit that keeps on giving

Some mornings before heading to our office jobs, my neighbor drops by my apartment. I whip up some matcha lattes or other tea concoctions, then we set out to soak up the morning sun while admiring the unique architecture of our neighborhood. Sometimes, we team up to order groceries online and even take turns cooking dinner for each other. Tonight, I'm preparing a vegan bolognese, and last weekend, he gave me some peanut noodles. It's like having a friend on speed dial bahaha

took this picture in japan from my aunt's old apartment. i find it hard take random pictures in the US just because i don't think anything is special around me / i don't want to "waste" film. but when i'm in Japan it's so easy to find the beauty in the everyday environment.. even something as simple as people walking upstairs and a guy biking along a path...
