Earlier this year my friend graduated medical school and I went to her party in Philly for it - we have been internet friends from tumblr since we were 16 and i was worried I would be the only one there from online. I got there and everyone was from online - they were all people she met on twitter or tumblr or discord. also my high school ex girlfriend just went to someone’s wedding that she had known from twitter…. people are still friends online and they still move from online to offline, which I think is very sweet

⭐There are folks that I met on tumblr as a teenager
With whom I'm still in contact today.
These are people that I've never met face to face,
But whose secrets I know, whose angsts I know.
People I have grown into adulthood with.
People who have surprised me,
People who have met my expectations,
People who are working, or aren't,
People who now have kids, or don't.
People who I am tied to by ethereal internet threads that have remained unsevered for over a decade.
Every once in a while we message each other, And it feels like catching up with an old friend. The modes of our communication, Remain the same.

💬today i saw a dear college friend who was in town for a concert. we haven’t seen each other since 2017. since then we’ve lived through a pandemic, graduated with a masters (me) and a PhD (her), examined our spirituality, and shifted family dynamics. she’s a professor at our old university now, and we wondered at how different we are from our college selves. so proud of us & our capacity for growth & how we’ve learned to like & trust ourselves over the past decade. what an honor to witness!

🫂I went to my friends birthday party a couple of years ago, when I was in lower school, and I met this random girl. I had no idea who she was but we just instantly became best friends, to the point where my other friend got pissed at us because she felt like we were ignoring her. I vividly remember painting each other faces and taking a Polaroid picture together but after the party I never saw her again. that was until I got to highschool. I joined cross country and started running with this girl. I didn't even recognize her at first but she asked me if I remembered her and brought up our mutual friend and then it all came back to me. she even had a picture of the Polaroid we had taken together saved on her phone. its still wild to me that we managed to run into each other again after all these years

🍅Gazpacho only in the late summer, persimmons only in the winter, etc. just because we can import anything from anywhere anytime doesn’t mean we should. Nothing is special if you can have it whenever you want it.

📱What is she doing on her calculator app ?? Who is he texting ??? What are they listening to on Spotify ??? To truly be on the pulse of culture we must invade the privacy of our fellow commuters just a little bit
