the slow burn version of making friends. like for real friends. it's a very wholesome and gradual process that reminds you how sacred it is to meet someone you vibe with just by virtue of showing up to a place often and lingering to chat. i'm gonna come by just to say hi not necessarily to buy something now. let's make some plans. tell me your life story in a piecemeal sort of way i wanna know
- Community building
- People to dump baked goods on so you don't feel guilty when you end up with too many cookies
- Expanding your furry friend circle
- Engaging in trades of herbs for power tools
-Increasing love and happiness
want to live in a sitcom? start hanging out with your neighbors! invite them to dinner! make a standing happy hour at the mediocre bar on your block! text them neighborhood gossip! ask them to water your plants in exchange for little souvenirs when you travel! be the Kramer, be the Phoebe, just have fun with it!
