If we're gonna crack this thing open, we have to start somewhere.
'Tis the season for Spotify's Christmas Cocktail Jazz playlist, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
I've been thinking a lot recently about platonic intimacy and what that means. Lately I feel like I'm struggling to make real connections with friends. I suspect it's rooted in 2+ years of isolation/pandemic anxiety, but it often feels like there's just too much to unpack to get around to the root of what's actually going on in my life.
I also encountered this when I was like "self, I'm going to start using social media to cultivate actual human relationships" (which is a sentiment that makes my eyes roll out of my head but also I'm so, so lonely so whatever) and then had to think about being actually vulnerable.
I don't understand how I managed this when I was in my teens/twenties.
