HANGING OUT WITH KIDS NOW AND THEN

last week i spent the day with my 8 year old cousin and it was one of the most fun days I’ve had in ages. We watched about 25 minutes of Wicked (turns out 8 year olds don’t have a great attention span), fed the squirrels in the park, baked cookies and coloured in. kids make you laugh in a really pure way and have some of the wildest takes on some of the most unexpected subjects. they’re also so excited to share the things that they love with you and tell you sincerely all about why it’s so great, something i think all of us can appreciate.

dancing is the medicine

dancing

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right

Rice bowls with tuna (or tofu) and a big pot of lentils

I loosely follow eric kim’s recipe below for the tuna, some marinated tofu would also work well. Then I make a big pot of rice, and add whatever toppings I have on hand throughout the week (kimchi, cucumber, cilantro, sesame seeds, all things that require very little of you and can be done ahead) For the lentils, I make a big pot at the beginning of the week and again, top with various things I have around (an egg, a handful of arugula, lemon, yogurt, garlic) I find that having two bases that are different enough and customizable keeps feeding yourself simply from feeling like a punishment while you focus on other things. ps: if you’re new to lentils, lemme know, i’ll write out my recipe for ya!

the right people will appreciate your boldness in initiating a first hang

And then when you’ve made a few random connections this way (and there’s not some blaring reason why they’d hate each other) invite them all for a park hang or lil dinner, even if it seems sorta early in the friendships! Being the person that brings other people together can make you feel and come off more well connected than you might feel, and before ya know it, you’ve started a friend group! You’re gonna do great, honey! People like ya!
