i told a man i liked his t-shirt with ‘kinds of kindness’ branding and it turned out he was yorgos lanthimos’ cinematographer !!! you get to meet the most interesting people when you strike up the courage to talk to them
A quick chat with the cashier over something in your basket, a person with clothing/accessories that show a shared interest, or a neighbor while you’re out walking. Those little connections are sweet stuff!
I have posted many times about my Friday adventures to the cafe. As I am trying to learn to take myself out on dates, I also am trying to make some friends and acquaintances along the way. I’m trying to develop a sense of community for myself outside of home and work.
Yesterday I had a lovely time drawing at the cafe and I had a conversation with the older man who was sitting next to me. I think he’s been there once before but this time he was asking me about my art. I learned that he used to make art as well. It was a really nice little chat and it really made me feel alive !!! :) I hope to have more instances like this in the future <3
