Never a bad time to go hang out by a large body of water and then light a giant pile of wood on fire with your friends. It feels cleansing. You can shoot the shit, dance, roast hot dogs, make smores and just soak in the smell of delicious smoke. If you and your friends are real pervs you can even go skinny dipping and then dry off next to the fire.
play dress up with your friends at home, put on outfits that make you feel CrAzY, go to your local dive and play *one* game of pool as a team and take your time playing it while milking *one* drink each, run out of the bar like a school of fish in fabulous dresses, buy pizza, go home take off pretty fabulous outfits and eat pizza together in your undies to not get grease on 1920’s silk (but also to be flirty cause it’s 2024 and we’re all bi and we’re all fucking our friends get with the PrOgRaM) everyone puts on their normal clothes again, big kisses and hugs goodbye, in bed by midnight for beauty sleep 💋
Sometimes you can just exist. you don’t (hopefully) need 50 hustles. You don’t need to be a writer and musician and artist and podcaster and influencer and girlboss or whatever. you don’t even need to signal how cool or smart or attractive you are. I know it’s hard cause I think our society incentives (forces?) people to be “on” all the time, but it’s probably better for your own sake to just exist for yourself and your love ones and to adjust your expectations of what a successful or meaningful life is. Sorry for being pedantic, just know a lot of friends and family my age or younger that seem to be struggling right now in all sorts of ways. Just know, regardless of what anyone says or even what you say or do, that you guys have inherent dignity and you are worth something
Eat yogurt, kimchi/sauerkraut, miso, kefir, kombucha, pickles, certain soft cheeses cause they’re good for you I never had a problem shitting I just like funky foods and pretending my gut is a nightclub where all the bacteria are dancing and having a good time like it’s osmosis jones or something
