i know they can understand me on a different level & it makes them so much more approachable. if we share developmental lore i can feel way more comfortable with them. sometimes you just know that you would have been great friends with someone if you'd both met earlier in your timelines, and that endears me to someone a lot.

such a wonderful feeling when i get to talk to someone who's been on my periphery for so long. its so odd how i constantly convince myself that some people are "too cool" for me to be friends with, but its such a pleasant surprise to really connect and get to know those types of people for who they really are.

Itβs hard to make new friends as an adult and I partly wonder if itβs because of how pure and genuine our childhood friendships are by comparison.
One of my best friends is a girl I met in sixth grade. Is so interesting the ways in which weβve both changed and, more so, all the ways we are entirely the same people we were as adolescents.

i didn't think i was going to connect well with my coworkers who are significantly older and lead completely different lives. but guess what? they're just like me. they even think i'm funny. i've found myself a little friend group. and i couldn't be more grateful. i love my millennial friends.

I love doing collages, cuz all you really need are magazine cutouts and glue. There's a very low barrier to entry, skill-wise AND supply-wise, unlike painting. Digital collages are fun too, but I try to have less screentime by doing the paper ones. If I want to re-use pieces instead of gluing them down permanently, sometimes I'll just take a picture of the current arrangement to immortalize it, and then start over on a new composition. That way, I don't have to constantly buy new magazines to get new cutouts. This is one of my favorite ones I've done so far:

This is the only thing that keeps me sane at work. It's so slow right now. If anyone is wondering why I've posted like 9 times today.

i always get stuck choosing which stuff to watch/read/get into next when i look at my huge former watchlists & TBR's. a lot of items are things i put on there years ago and never got around to, so usually by the time i check the list again, my tastes have totally changed. i realized it was hard to get myself excited or motivated about half the stuff i put on there anymore, but i felt indebted to knocking it out anyway just because it was on the list. i'd recommend letting your current feelings/impulses take the wheel, and trust that you'll come back around to any of the other options if they're right for you later on.
