serves as a visual cue for people on the street looking for a lighter. you never know who might meet and strike up a conversation. be smart abt it obv. & don't forget your lighter.
it took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize that everyone in my age group is carrying lighters around because cigarettes are back in. i don't smoke, but i figured you can always use a lighter on you anyway, just in case someone else needs one. everyone that steps outside to smoke at functions is always hot & cool-looking, so my secret plan is to make myself useful to them by offering a light. (i am a little too excited about this and it may take months for anyone to even ask me if i have a light and the payoff will last for 5 seconds but i will be cheering inside.) plus i can use mine to light my incense at home. i got this one for $6 from a vending machine at a college bar and the flame is GREEN
I thought I was too old to intern (college degree, experience, good resume, etc) but a friend connected me with a company to interview for a 3month paid internship. worked a part-time job while interning. got hired full-time immediately after the internship. tbh I don't have the biggest ego, but this was one of those 'take a step back & take two steps forward' kind of moments. very grateful and lucky.
hope this encourages you!
