People are always like, “don’t work with your friends!” In order to protect friendships or something. But seems better and more fun to be like: “make your friendships strong enough to withstand collaboration.” Find and cherish thy contemporaries.

Speaking to a friendship aspect: finding my people was initially exhilarating. Being seen and accepted, feeling joyful and excited to spend time together, feeling like a team in the world rather than competitors are all things my first experiences with my best friends felt like. But there were also points where we pissed each other off or hurt each other or grew apart. what set apart these Friendships was being able to talk about it and wanting to be open about our hurt or anger. We reciprocally put in work to stay connected. I could trust my friends would listen to me and try to do better. i could Also trust that I would be forgiven when I needed to do better. To this day, they are the most transformative relationships I’ve had in adulthood and I’m always so grateful for them.

There’s a weird phenomenon in New York where you keep all your contacts from everyone else who might take something away from you - it’s mostly oriented around career. BUT! Guess what? Nothing matters. Who cares? People are going to work with who they want to work with, you might as well put in a good word, I believe karma is a real thing. I love talking about my friends' accolades to people they don’t know, you never know what could come of it. Surround yourself with unselfish, soft human people, and the rest is history.

Not supposed to blow this one up but idk - since college my friends have been on the camel crush wave; in a way, the surf n turf of cigarettes. No one is asking you to crush it but I dare you not to. Just the end though. RIP thanks to the FDA.

as a music focused tween I thought british accents were hot. I am in London right now. They aren’t. Also people give you too much information about stuff. I get it. that said, it’s warmer here than nyc right now.

I’ve been preaching the gospel of Pinterest for years. People think it's for moms and sorority girls, but it’s actually just a fundamentally useful internet tool as long as you ignore its larger ecosystem. The Pinterest Chrome plug-in? Can’t live without it. It is especially useful if you are addicted to buying things you don’t truly need. I add things to my various pinterest boards as an intermediary step between desiring said thing and purchasing it. Often after adding to Pinterest, I just forget about the item entirely. But it is also useful for actually making shopping plans for home goods or an event. I used to say Pinterest was the better Are.na, but I’ve since come to understand are.na’s specific merits for research. It should be noted that it’s very important to keep your boards and channels private on both of these platforms lest you become the target of public humiliation and/or get your steez ripped off by some middlebrow loser.
