i tend to be very guarded around people i dont know
its not that i am shy- i just like to spend time with people and get to know them ans observe them a bit more before deciding to share my energy
so i am told that i can (in the beginning) be a bit stand off ish, stuck up, or cold and i have been this way since i was small (imagine having a grown ass adult call you, a child, stuck up- i dont have to cause its happened to me)
so when i went to this networking mixer i told myself to try and be more socially open and friendly
in the field i am pursuing first impressions are important and so i wanted to really stand out
and i am proud to say i feel like i really did that
it wasnt as uncomfortable as i thought and i was lucky that many of the people had similar humor as me and were laid back
it was a good night (:

i was recently told that networking is important (ofc)
and i should go out more to have more possibilities for networking opportunities
and i was panicking cause i was like
"idk where tf to go"
a lot of my hobbies recently are things i can do at home (as was my intention cause i dont have money and tried getting into hobbies i can do on my own at home)
and any time i use the internet to do groups or something- its weird af or the people are just ... not MY people
but lucky me my school is having a alumni hang out tonight
alls well that ends well

not in the nakey way (unless it’s that kind of party) but more like just start swaying to the music a bit. Likely, someone will notice and come sway with you.
also: I always go with compliments!! they go a long way, and are actually how I’ve met some cool friends.
it’s tuff tho: ‘just be yourself‘ cos it’s like ? what if …. but the more detached you are with being received in a specific way, the more likely you are to just meet the right people
and sometimes …. it might not be deep or withstanding, but tolerable enough to keep standing next to one another

I recently went to a yoga society meeting at my university to meet the group and potentially make new friends. I was definitely more awkward than I usually am without my friends. I noticed more people came on their own, and before I knew it this guy struck up a conversation with me, said he recognised me from classes, shook my hand. Next thing I know we were flirting playfully! All it took was a few minutes out of my comfort zone, crazy!

using A.I. for art instead of using it to fix problems such as poverty, climate change etc is fucking weird
art is a way people cope with human existence and express feelings as well as share and pass down culture
why tf is A.I. in the mix
its weird to me

TW: drugs and psychosis
i was in active addiction 4 years ago and was going on a 4 day streak of a bender
where i decided to go to a party do meth (ik) and drink and smoke (more) weed
i was so out of it that when i had to leave
(never drive UTI) it looked like i was driving through a forest under water
when i got back to my friends place her mom said their family cat (who was v old) was dying and she wanted us to say good to him
when i looked at the cat it looked like it was turned inside out and its inside were rotting
i felt sick to my stomach and hid in her room where i began to question everything
what i had seen, what i was doing, and finally who i was and if the thoughts i had were mine or someone else's- it was a lot
it was from there i kinda realized there was more and now im here
sober and a changed woman
the end
