i'm probably not the best person to take advice from, but when i'm interested in getting to know someone i like to pay a sincere compliment to either their appearance (outfit, hair) or their general vibe. worst case you just made someones day, because who doesn't love compliments, best case you start a conversation

even if it's just like "I like the color of your shirt dude nice"

If you feel a conversation getting awkward, confidently connect with them about something… maybe you like their shoes or are intrigued by something they said earlier and want to dive deeper. Make sure you’re open physically to the conversation (arms not crossed, torso/feet pointed toward the person). Bring warmth and smiles. It’ll be fine! If it’s a new person at work, ask about how they got to where they are today. You’ll surely find some kind of tidbit in there to connect about.

the sheer volume of human emotion on display in dostoevskys work makes me feel so very alive and connected to everything. all my pain, agony, joy, longing, anger and sadness is part of the role i play on this stage. whenever i'm faced with challenges that seem much too difficult for me to figure out, i remember that all i'm feeling is what people have been feeling for thousands of years

reading gets me sleepy every night. the best books to read in bed are those more focused on rich prose instead of story and dialogue. just getting lost in letters, turns of phrase, looking up silly words like "saturnine" and their etymologies quiets my mind and makes me fall asleep in minutes
