🎙This morning I had a date for the first time in a million years and I was scared and hadn’t slept so I called my friend crying and together we talked whilst I got ready. We agreed that I would just do my best and accept whatever happened even if it was weird or embarrassing because it’s fine to do things scared. Then I walked out the front door in my cute little outfit with my hair and makeup done like nothing whatsoever was wrong and I had that damn date and it was kinda stilted and he didn’t text me after but it was essentially fine 💃🏻

😃Pretty tame but kind of cute - I had a coffee date with this guy off grindr. I was so nervous and my mouth was so dry I couldn’t properly eat my bagel, but I was hungry, so I started ripping it into smaller pieces which also helped me relax. By the end of it I had a pile of uneaten torn up bagel pieces in front of me lol

🎀I went on a date recently and listened to this song the day of and now when I listen to it, it reminds of the wonderful night we had :) We are, I think the same person. But I won't get ahead of myself... I hope...

🗣over the past two years i’ve gotten quite good at speaking to new people, and in the past six months i’ve made it one of my favorite traits. i tell people i love their hair when i’m behind them at line at the shops. i befriended an older lady on the train home from work, we laughed and exchanged stories on the crowded rush hour car. i built a relationship with the lady at sandwich place near my work, to the point where she calls out my nickname (veggie melt) when i walk in, and gave me a free sandwich the day i lost my wallet. i draw her pictures every time, and the other day she offered me freelance illustration work as a result. there is so much beauty and possibility around us, so many stories we can unlock by talking to strangers. when im old and withered, i will mark my years by how many little threads i’ve woven into my life, how many gold links i’ve started by an innocuous interaction with somebody i simply hadn’t known yet.

⭐every day is another anniversary and i will not do myself the disservice of shutting out how i feel about it. the only person we hurt by tamping down our pain in private is ourself
