I wear glasses, and because of that I opt to have prescription sunglasses as well. Some days when I’m out and about, I’ll just bring my sunglasses as to not have to keep track of two pairs of opticals. But you know what happens when I sit to have lunch inside? There is almost always a “Wow sunglasses inside huh?” comment. Like yes, I actually strategically planned to do this + I’m trying to look cool + it has nothing to do with my blindness.
I have never in my life cared enough about critiquing someone that I stopped to make a comment on their sunglasses. It’s almost as if as an adult you’re able to…idk…not care enough about what someone else is wearing? “Oh but is it cool?” — who cares??? Is whoever is asking that question the king or queen that determined what is / isn’t cool???
This isn’t a dig at the question being asked, it’s just the reactions of the people who seem to be so taken back by it. It’s one of those things that you can, with inner peace & therapy, get past the need to always comment on what other people are doing. Live life unbothered. Let people do what they want, “cool” or not.

No shame on being hypersensitive to light.
Or looking cool. 😎

Regular glasses already annoy me. But sunglasses??? That has to be my worst nightmare. I can't see shit, they are heavy, my face is sweaty.
How do you guys manage??

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
