Not in a like “change politics/volunteer” way but in a like ”people know me at the bar/coffee shop” / “i run into people at the park every time I️ go” way

Join your community garden! Go to local events! Continue to show up even if you feel kinda awkward in the beginning! Get involved in your neighborhood in some way and I promise it’ll change your life for the better.
Even if it’s just for the random convos you get to have when you run into someone on the street that you’ve met before or gaining a local friend that can water your plants or pick up packages while you’re away, it feels good to feel like you’re a part of something bigger than yourself.

if you have a local coffee shop, go there and don’t drive to a starbucks or dunkin
get a library card
befriend your neighbors
get plugged into the goings on of your town or city
repeat local legends
become friendly with your favorite store’s employees
read in your local park
patronize your local artists
the way to plant roots is to stay in the same place for as long as possible! you don’t get that by driving out of town for every meal and beverage and thing you want

Making non-commercial as cheap as possible things for your friends to come to!!!! I️ throw these silly little indie dance parties in dc, and it’s so fun to slowly develop a little community in such a transient city. Next one is in April!

really wanted a rare electro record — did I️ pay too much? Maybe. Is it ok because I’m excited? yes.

Ive been drawing my DJ flyers for the past 3 years on essentially Microsoft paint and it’s so fun. Makes me feel like I’m more creative than I️ am.
(Also if you’re in Washington DC come to showtime tonight)
