When I first met this dude from the Hinge app, I drove about an hour north to his mom’s house (where he lived) while she was out of town visiting his sister’s family for thanksgiving. I had talked to this dude for about a month on the phone (not text, actually hour-plus calls) cause he was a bit older and more old-fashioned (texting with him seemed like conversing with a dumb child). First time we spoke on the phone was a full moon on Halloween night. He told me he loved me cause I think he was out late with friends doing drugs. (Obviously already a flag of some sort, but over the month conversing, he won me over.) Now, to the in-person meeting: as I got out of my car at his house, I see this skinny, long-haired, shirtless hippy on the second story porch. He comes down the stairs to greet me, and we hug as I’m polite and do like him. As I follow him up the stairs to his front door, I see his shorts are sagging quite a bit. I stared at his cute little butt crack the whole way up… that entire first day/date was so crazy and awkward but also amazing and comfortable. I am still ā€œhomiesā€ with this dude over four years later, but definitely one of the most awkward experiences first meeting someone.

i was on it for a few months and i thought it was wack at the time because i found the conversations stale and hard to maintain without having like 2 week gaps in between msgs. butttttt after the first meaningful and fun convo i ever had on hinge, I ended up meeting her the next night - my gf who ive been with ever since! <3. now i like the concept as i think all it takes is one good person and a bit of luck to change ur life through it

We met at a concert through a bunch of mutual friends and chatted for a while - we both had partners at the time so nothing came of it, but we matched on hinge a couple years later and he remember the exact conversation we had at the venue. We dated for a few months but it didn’t line up - we stayed friends and eventually were both single, doing everything together, and texting non-stop. He asked if I ever thought about us dating again and then I pretended to not be in love with him for about 3 months until I couldn’t take it anymore. We’ve been together for over a year now and he’s my best friend in the world - I love him so much and feel so grateful for the universe continuously putting us back together.

I was at the bar and my friend was telling me about this girl that her friend had a crush on and the description sounded vaguely familiar so I asked them to show me her Instagram and she pulled it up and put it on the table. I scrolled through to find a good picture and said ā€œyes I do know her she’s-…right thereā€ and I looked up and she was running towards me and I screamed her name and we hugged and made a huge scene. Definitely not slick wingman wise but I couldn’t help it because of how much of a coincidence it was. This girl was constantly on tour up and down the east coast and never in town really so we barely saw each other but always had a good time whenever we did. It was so random and felt cosmic. I introduced her to my friends and she hung out for a bit. Someone’s far away, ā€œunattainableā€ Instagram crush popping up at the table, as soon shes brought up. It was so cool, I’ll never forget it.

Mother Earth will give humans a second chance if we stand up for her.

This is my ultimate artistic goal with all the little pieces of awesomeness Iā€˜ve procured, like a crow with shiny objects. These discovered-treasures deserve a forever-home in collage form.

All of Holy Mother Earth is alive and listening to us. Have you ever tried speaking aloud to Mother Nature? Hug a tree, stop and smell a pretty flower. Tell this plant how you love it and appreciate its sweet fragrance and colorful bloom. They’re listening and will project love back. Can you bond with a tree enough for it to come kiss you on the cheek with its leafy branch?
