had some friend reconnections

Some former mutuals have recently expressed their interest in getting to know me and it’s made me feel really good about myself! one was a match on a dating app (😽) and one was a spontaneous invite to a group hang that has now blossomed into several other hangs both independently and in a group setting. It feels nice to have irl people say “hey i’d like to get to know you better,” especially since i made it a goal to seek intimacy and connection more this summer. ♥️♥️♥️

hanging out with my girls

i saw three of my closest friends again today and just. god i love them so much. the worst part of adulthood is seeing your friends less - though hopefully when people have graduated and everyone's in the same city again it'll be better, it sucks knowing i'll never see them as often as i used to back in high school. dogpiling onto the common room couch to watch anime and lying in the sun during break and eating lunch together everyday and everything just being less high stakes? high school had its problems, don't get me wrong, but i think a part of me will always yearn for how much less lonely it was. so it was a delight as ever to get to hang out today, i found myself taking as many photos as i used to and there's something close friends will always manage to squeeze in your heart when you see them. love y'all so so much!!! we might not have another group hangout til next winter but i'll be counting the days <333333 ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝˚₊♡₊˚⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝

LATELY I'VE BEEN MAKING CARDBOARD DIORAMAS WITH MY BEST FRIEND.

The other day my buddy texted me and asked if I wanted to come over and make action figure dioramas. I was like uh hell yeah are you kidding that sounds like itd be fucking awesome. and guess what? We have spent every night since working on it, posted up in his garage with so much cardboard and paint fumes. I think it's pretty badass! We decided on making a battle scene set in New York, so we started with some buildings to act as hubs to build the rest of the street around, him with his apartments, and me with my bodega.We've been rewatching the MCU, listening to new music, and just talking about our friendship. I really appreciate him. The thing is, we haven't known each other as long as the others, but we've become like brothers. like we just get on each others nerves like siblings, but we also still come back together like brothers. And that's really helped me become more secure in myself strangely, because I think he understands me better than I understand myself, and through various jokes and conversations, he's able to call me on my bullshit and make me more aware and by all of that, it helps me understand myself and improve, if that makes sense. He's just a really good guy! I trust him with my life! And these past few fays have just been like, childhood wish fulfillmen. I never really had friends as a kid that I could do this kinda stuff with, not many people to geek out about this stuff with, nobody was staying up late with me. So this has been really cathartic for me. I've made a bodega, a subway entrance, some miscellaneous city props, just like, really in the zone. And it's been nice to bounce ideas off each other because we're both so excited about this that there's only positive feedback and collaboration, no stressing, no stepping on each others toes. Idk, it feels really nice to have had these last few days be this little place I can go to. included: pictures of my friend's destroyed apartment building, and my bodega (unfinished)

There's a few better but none I enjoyed more

Kneecap was by far my favourite. Just an absolutely blistering first feature that is extremely fun starring the Irish language hip-hop group of the same name. Knew nothing about them going in, but it was electric watching it in the cinema even without much of an audience. The Irish language is so cool. In terms of "best"? I absolutely adore The Substance.

Somehow, someway Kanye's lost me

As the title suggests, Kanye was always one of my problematic faves but I think he's kinda became annoyingly problematic and comically evil to the point that he's lost me. I still listen to his old stuff though. I often don't realise how much I listen to it still until I see my last.fm stats. It's kind of undeniable that he's been one of the most influential people in hip-hop and wider pop culture for decades now, so it hurts more that he's gone so far down the deep end. One of these days I'll make my idea for a Kanye Broadway musical a reality. Trust me!
