I forgot how great it is to be a woman pursuing another woman. I just left a marvelous date with a beautiful woman where we spent nearly the entire day together. We went thrifting, then to a movie, and then walked around the park. After a long streak of only dating men, I leave this date anew. A lady-lover once more! (and I could not be happier about that.)
i am no longer depressed and therefore feel okay enough to start going on dates again! this summer i am ending my self imposed period of celibacy #lezzingout
i guess it's super cliche but i really felt better after i went on a date. i made it clear that i wanted to keep it casual and actually had a nice time. it's refreshing to feel someone interested in you, kind of brings things into perspective.
Though some people might find this kind of depressing I actually see it as the opposite. It’s really been a while since I’ve done this but I see it necessary to go on a date with yourself once in a while. Go to a cafe, take a walk without any destination in mind, or you might as well go to the cinema on your own. More than an act of self love I perceive it as a way to embrace solitude and get to know yourself more; It brings so much inner peace and helps to heal that part of yourself that finds loneliness daunting. There is a beauty in everything and solitude is not the exception.
as someone who will wait by my phone for hours all for a measly text back, I think it’s time I break this habit and to implore others to do so as well. • experience a texture other than your phone screen. (ex. a loved ones skin, oobleck, soap suds.)
• write a letter to someone you love. (could even be to yourself or a pet!)
• take a long, warm bath.
• start the book you bought months ago and have not touched since.
• invest in some physical media. (if you can’t hold it in your hands, you don’t own it! even though the internet is “forever“, it’s pretty impressive how some media can be completely wiped/altered from the internet!)
• trim your hair ;)
• sit outside in the sun like a plant photosynthesizing.
• stop waiting for good things to come to you and create the good you wish to see in the world. life is far too short to spend it mindlessly scrolling on these mini-supercomputers and letting others dictate your mood.
I like how he can pretty seamlessly jump from making stupid silly videos, to genuine critiques on the happenings of the world around us. He has a good balance of light-heartedness while not sugar coating his words that I look for in a person.
