Parallel Play
I love being around my friends, but I don’t always have anything to say or anything I’d like to do together. Nothing makes me happier than a house full of friends where all of us do our separate activities in silence at the same time. Perfect way to connect and feel love, while still focusing on my interests or goals for the day.

I have a lot of friends who work on art projects, school work, etc and I’ll make a dinner to share as we hang in my apartment.

Still my fav thing to do! I use "co-work" if I want to pretend to be productive.

As I draw my friend playing guitar and my other doing origami in the same room. How nice is it to be close to people and not have to be anything other than yourself. Completely separate in activity but together in space <333

More Small Talk!!!
Some of the best, most energy-filled conversations I’ve had have been with strangers at the grocery store, while in traffic, and even on customer service lines. Talk to store clerks about their weekend plans, ask the person next to you at the meat counter what they’re making for dinner, see people and be seen. It’s beautiful!!!!!!!!

Picking up new hobbies
The best part about being alive is learning new things. You’re never too old to try that thing you’ve always wanted to. Having hobbies has helped me become more confident overall and make new friends. I recently started taking piano lessons, it’s quite the challenge, but so exhilarating.

Vintage Puzzles
Obviously, I love puzzles, but I’ve been really into buying vintage puzzles on eBay. They’re fun, calming, and they usually look good on the coffee table. I’ve found some great puzzles from the ’70s and '80s recently!
