sunday is a rotating movie night, someone else hosts and picks a movie each time. saturdays are for meeting up for a brunch/lunch and watching the new drag race. wednesdays are for trivia, if everyone can make it out. mondays are poetry club.
capitalize on shared interests and make standing plans

I definitely feel like this sometimes but most nights I do loveeeee being alone (in front of the TV). To answer your question, I’ve found that socialization ebbs and flows. The most regularly I was seeing all my friends is when we had standing weeknight meetups like trivia on Tuesdays, watching a show together on Wednesdays, etc. My personal sweet-spot for “spontaneous” plans is 2-4 days in advance. I’d text something like “Having a hard week! Let’s do something fun this weekend” then you can gauge from there :) Trivia is a really good one though it brings people out of the woodwork.

Instead of trying to schedule meetings, I’ve taken to going for a standing weekly or bi-weekly. Scheduling is replaced by skipping for the week. This works because I have a bunch of long term projects with collaborators right now, but it’s also nice because many of these people are friends of mine, so even if we don’t have updates we can just take the hour to catch up. This practice has bled into social life; I’ve now got a handful of monthly dinner dates in rotation.

concert? play? Reading? niche movie screening? Rave? Restaurant you want to try? whatever it is, try to wrangle friends if its up their alley (not a pro-antisocial message here) but if it does not work out, take urself! literally worst case scenario absolutely no one gives a fuck best case you make new circumstantial friends. Every one is busy making money and chasing what inspires them to stay here so schedules align once in a blue moon, don’t let that stop you from discovering / enjoying shit.

Eating a meal and consuming the tiniest unit of food for each bite. Im talking one piece of rigatoni on a fork and even biting it in half. It is sooo much fun and you savor so much love in the food. Like it gives you the time to relax and enjoy

so uniquely intimate — whats more fun than being loved and trusted enough to adventure in another’s shoes. It’s also the right amount of scary and empowering
