😴
i live alone, so one of my favourite things to do is go over to a friend's house just to take a nap. you get to take a nap but you also get to be close to someone you like, so the nap feels a lot less depressing. i also find it very calming to hear them sort of puttering about doing their normal daily chores or whatever. can i take a nap on your couch? let me know!

Even better if they’re napping too. Warmth + safety + zzz’s

somewhere along the line past being a toddler, it was decided for us that we no longer needed a nap to get through the day. I’m not sure who is responsible for this injustice, but i have even reclaiming this stolen time for years.
some people like power naps. this could be 30 minutes of no screens, just chilling with your eyes closed. falling asleep is not necessary. napping is a state of mind. I am a fan of the 2-3 hour range, where I start off with an ASMR video and drift off. I then wake up feeling solidly refreshed, but not disoriented. Bonus points for having a big swig of cold water when I wake up.
when I go past 3 hours, I risk waking up sweaty and wondering what decade I’m in. but you do you. I’m also a big fan of the couch nap, because I am lucky to have an old and well-cared for couch that has just enough softness while also supporting my back. I also enjoy sleeping on top of my covers on my bed with my favorite blanket. naps! long may they rule!

This seems strange but there’s many times i’ve taken 2 minute naps in the shower many times and it’s some of the best sleep i’ve ever had. It’s like a full body blanket.

often when something noteworthy happens to me -- a negative sexual experience, an awkward date, a weird subway encounter -- i'll have the impulse to post about it on twitter. but then i think, what if i texted this to my friend instead? and then you can text it to your friend, maybe even one you haven't texted in a while, and they will probably be happy to hear from you directly and you will have strengthened a beautiful relationship. all tweets are spiritually corrosive and the spirit of your new interpersonal bond will persevere long after platforms are dead

my job is being a writer which means i have a lot of free time and it also means that fun group events within my industry are rare. this opens up the wonderful world of being a GROUPIE -- a quasi-professional fan of the talents of others. i am not a comedian but through being a comedy groupie i have reaped the greatest benefit of the trade (funny friends) without ever having to set foot on an improv stage. i am not a musician but through being a music groupie i get to listen to my friends play beautiful songs and sometimes play with them for fun. i am not in fashion but being a fashion groupie means i get to hang out with impossibly stylish and knowledgeable women and sometimes try on beautiful clothes. being a master of none means you get to hang out with the masters of everything and it rocks. and all that is demanded of you is that you love and appreciate wonderful art -- DONT MIND IF I DO !
