I was routinely walking home from my metro stop one summer afternoon last year, as I do, headphones on. I continue up the street and three dudes are walking in the opposite direction towards me. We edge closer towards each other, and when we’re about 5 steps away from intersecting, one of them raises his hand up for a high 5, we’re making eye contact, and I clapped his hand. A clean motion from both me and him, neither of us hesitating, and both parties walking as we were with no interruption. They broke out in a lil cheer, but I have a feeling they just kept walking and didn’t even turn their heads around to look at me. I mean, I didn’t turn my head around. But, I was smiling. A mediocre moment, turned mediocre-surpassing.

I've been on a real journey lately. You see the person across the room and you know them... and you know they know you... but you know that they aren't going to come over and say hi... do it. Take the plunge. However the approach needs to happen, make contact. Don't wait until you see them at the next networking event and say "hey were you at the taco place the other day?" It's surprisingly empowering and frankly kind of an impressive social maneuver. The reward is giddy and powerful and immediate. It makes me feel like I've broken out of the matrix.

Ive been participating in a little ritual of drinking my coffee in front of the river that’s 20 paces away from da crib. I’ll fire up my dear espresso machine, measure out and pull a double shot into my whimsical arket mug, froth some milk, slide into my fav puffer, and walk the 20 or so steps to the bench by the river with MY mug dude. how fun is that
the sun was surprisingly confident and brilliant by amsterdam standards today and wow feeling the warmth on my face, seeing the rays do their ✨twinkle✨twinkle on the water, sipping exceptional coffee that I made from MY mug… sublime.
sketchy characters by the underpass to the right and the neighbourhood dogs trotting by on their daily walk add to the charm.
