as a non-binary person, this has never happened to me so casually but i got a fresh haircut and some pep in my step and i think the confidence inspires respect hehehe "sir" hehehehehehehe
call me old fashioned but ill refer to them formally regardless of their age. maybe because i grew up in the south working at chick fil a for a couple months. hell yeah im calling a 12 year old boy as sir. hes a dapper little fellow.
here are some things I've done in my 20s that were a blast:
- learned to fly a kite (flying a kite as an adult is the best - i recc doing it at the beach if you can manage it, more wind there)
- recreating one of the showstopper bakes from the Great British Bake Off (it absolutely sucked but was really fun haha who knew baking was an exact science?)
- bought some blank white shelves and invited all my friends over to paint them
- attend a workshop at the library (i went to one that taught me how to pickle vegetables!)
- make a perfect summer playlist, burn it on CDs, give it out to friends
- make a different kind of lemonade/iced tea every week (i really looked forward to opening my fridge every day when I was doing this)
- buy a book of poetry and spend so so so long going through the pages and illustrating the poem in the margins (or doodle whatever)
- find a local pizzeria/bar that does open mics and go listen to the performers with some friends (why not? pizza? music? and lots to talk about!)
- make shaved ice at home! (or home made ice cream if you're feeling particularly bold)
- go listen to your municipal band play at the park
- figure out whats in season in your region produce wise and challenge yourself to make dinner just from what you can find at a farmers market or something h.a.g.s. xoxo
