something about being out in nature in the nighttime has always brought me peace. add in some friends, a drink or two, and an open field of soft grass to dance and run around in, it'll make you feel like you are going to live forever and that you will always be that young and carefree. it feels like you are connecting with something ancient.
A nice late summer walk for 2hrs after seeing a movie with a friend led us to a space car in Brooklyn. Sometimes all you need is to walk and talk with a friend at 2am in the morning and explore. It felt very reminiscent of the summer when I was a kid.
nothing compares to the nights when you're up far too late and falling asleep so you and your friends can all be just a little more vulnerable with each other
who cares that weโre all going to be tired tomorrow? weโre making memories right now. i am a firm believer that if you can have a blast talking to your friends for 8 hours straight, there is absolutely no reason to cut it short for something as mundane as bedtime. middle of the night conversations go hard, everything is funny and vulnerable and precious and playful. tell me everything while we curl up on the couch or huddle on a stoop somewhere.
I've posted about this once before and will post about it again, I'm sure. One of the things that I have noticed since getting letterboxed last year is how afraid people are to admit they like something. that new animated k-pop movie on netflix made me notice this again when three of the people that I have on there prefaced their reviews with a variant of "i consumed this ironically, but it was actually kind of good..."
...LAME... and a little bit pathetic to see tbh.
We really need to remember that you only live once. just fucking enjoy the stuff you like, and stop asking the world for permission and acceptance to do so! being so afraid of what others will think when you post a review under a kid's movie is more cringe than admitting you like a kid's movie.
