She was an art school undergrad, and I was a townie bum playing in a band. I liked her, but was sorta her supervisor at the store, and a couple years older, so I didnāt pursue her. Then she asked me to model for a class project for her at a state fair, and we had an amazing time. That was just over 10 years ago, and somehow, I like her more every day.

I was sixteen, we had met at a High School Model UN taking place in University for a week long.
She arrived late and I fell for her as soon as she walked in. Throughout the week I would soon discover she was the funniest and most charming person there.
Our sessions were modeled after WHO and the theme was suicide prevantion, we all cried in the last few days because everyone had a personal connection with the topic, and it was so intense. Me and her would bond in between sessions and for the last day I brough her a brownie, but ants had taken over the sweet treat before it could reach her.
We started seeing each other afterwards. Our first kiss was right after a play I was doing and she had come to watch. It was after everyone had already left, and it was just the two of us in front of my school's gate. My face still had a bit of white clown paint I had tried to clean in a rush, but she still held my face close and we kissed. It was stiff and awkward, I still had to get home early to study for a presentation I had the next day, and hadn't even started to research for, but ultimate it was warm and lovely.
We dated for a few months but I had to move and ended up difting apart.

I was at the bar and my friend was telling me about this girl that her friend had a crush on and the description sounded vaguely familiar so I asked them to show me her Instagram and she pulled it up and put it on the table. I scrolled through to find a good picture and said āyes I do know her sheās-ā¦right thereā and I looked up and she was running towards me and I screamed her name and we hugged and made a huge scene. Definitely not slick wingman wise but I couldnāt help it because of how much of a coincidence it was.
This girl was constantly on tour up and down the east coast and never in town really so we barely saw each other but always had a good time whenever we did. It was so random and felt cosmic. I introduced her to my friends and she hung out for a bit. Someoneās far away, āunattainableā Instagram crush popping up at the table, as soon shes brought up. It was so cool, Iāll never forget it.

i met my girlfriend cilantro what feels like forever ago in an extracurricular chamber music program when i was 15 .
they were 14 & cooler & weirder than me & a significantly better violist than i was a cellist . they had dark heavy eyeliner & a blue & red bowie tank top they had made themselves (this is probably not what they were actually wearing when we met but itās how i remember them from this time)
they were the hottest & most interesting person in the program & we became close friends over the year before dating off and [mostly] on for the last 14 years .
since then theyāve seen me through countless changes & mistakes & successes big & small & a couple different genders & sexualities . itās a true joy to have someone who knows you so deeply & in so many ways & who can still surprise & delight you all the time . the longest & best friendship i will ever have <3

When hot people are friendly, it makes the people theyāre talking to feel hotter about themselves.

My goal is to be the happiest old man I can be, and thinking this way also makes me take better care of my body. If I have to make a tough decision, I ask myself what will be a cooler story to tell grandkids, and that seems to steer me in the right direction.
