during freshers week, you’re actively encouraged to party crash the fancy accommodation houses, so me and someone I was seeing visited a house of people we’d never met before. inside there was a quite reserved looking guy with a very upset vibe. he invited me over and we took turns drinking from this bottle of what was homebrewed vodka as we lamented on our lives. he told me he’d just found out his girlfriend had cheated on him. as an 18 year old with very limited dating knowledge i tried my best to console him, but he kept saying “it’s ok” and told me that everyone had to feel it to grow, and there was no anger in him to fight with what had happened. he told me i was a good kid as we both finished the bottle and hugged each other. i left maybe 30 minutes later and i never saw him again, but i think about that poor guy every now and then.

it was my first year of university and i didn’t have a canadian id yet since i had just moved from california, so i left my id at home. telling the person at the door that i was 18 seemed to be enough for them to let me in though. he came over a little while after i walked in, asked me to dance, and we chatted for a bit. we sat on the stairs at this persons house and talked about music and how he used to be a beekeeper. i wouldn’t give him any of my contact information, so he finally gave me his business card with his phone number and email and asked me to call. i said i never would, went home, put the card on my fridge and then a week later, invited him to go out to a haunted house with a few friends of mine. and from then on, it’s been going strong.

they came over to say hi, i turned to look at them and smacked my beer with my arm, spilling it all over them. to add onto it i was with a bunch of other people i don’t know that well. i bought them a drink to make up for it on a slightly related note a random person came over to my friend the other week at the bar the other week to tell him they liked his jacket. he said it then stumbled and spilled his drink all over the jacket. i saw it but didn’t hear what he said since it was loud. when i found out after i laughed my ass off

my friends and i love a bit, so I was forced to approach a guy I thought was cute at the bar and buy him a drink. we got the bartender in on it (who turned out to be his friend, told me his fav drink and that he was single). We ended up chatting over paper planes for like an hour before I retreated back to my friends after we exchanged contact info. Alas nothing came of it, but either way, I've been riding the high of approaching a literal stranger in public since then and realized it wasn't as heinous an experience as I thought it would be.

you can be a vibe if you want to! wear those oversized jeans you don’t know if you suit! light your cigs with a box of matches! play chess in a field with your friend! every time you do something like that and you don’t give a fuck, you get a little bit closer to having the best vibe out there

like cooking, it’s about seeing those enjoy what you play them than the process itself!
