A month or so ago, I was with my good friend L.A. at a (party) non-super spreader intimate gathering where we discovered we were the same shoe size. At that exact moment (around 3 am probably), I was wearing Uggs and L.A. a pair of Kelly Green low Jordan 1s. The saying is true you know, that the grass is always greener on the other side, so we swapped shoes. The minute I put on the Jās something within me changed. The womb like body of the shoe around my feet, the effortlessly cool attitude, the feeling that I knew something other girls didnāt. I couldnāt take them off. I held on to them for a sheepish week before handing them back to their rightful owner and embarking on my search for my own perfect pair. It took me a while to learn the ins and outs of jordanism and to really pin point which style would really reflect my inner soul, but last Monday (March, 8th, 2021) I received my Air Jordan 1s SE Voltage Yellow sneakers from GOAT.com and ever since Iāve been standing taller and balling harder.

When I heard these were getting raffled I was like nah we good. My birthday is soon though and I never really celebrate it. So I said fuck it letās try and call it an early birthday present to myself. All night Booty was telling me I would get em. I just chalked it up to her being a good girlfriend because I never win stuff like this. I actually hit! Got them today and I canāt stop looking at these mfs man. (Yes I know consumerism is bad, definitely right now) but I just thought I would do something a little nice for myself this trip around the sun.

Iāve always been a converse consumer, trading one black high top pair for the next, scoring a printed version at the outlet every few years. I recently made the purchase of a pair of sunflower yellow high tops that have utterly taken over my thoughts when getting dressed in the morning. I get dressed and think āhow can i make the chucks work?ā
theyāve truly become my āhappyā shoe, for when iām already riding a high feeling or need to be influenced to smile. I just started taking ssris again and these shoes do more for my mental health than any drug. when i put them on, iām setting the intention of happiness, regardless of whether it exists already.

Sometime in 2018, back when the world was our oyster and NYC offered a Cheesecake Factory length menu of places to drink alcohol with friends and strangers alike, I lost interest in activities. āActivities?ā You may ask, āWhat do you mean by that?ā Iām talking card games, tennis, gingerbread house making, dodgeball, chess, you name it.Ā Now that bars slam their doors shut at 11 pm, I have been forced to refind the joy of games, crafts, challenges and group athletics. A game of pickup sticks among friends is actually an exciting change of pace from spending too much money on martinis till too late at night. Thursday afternoon kickball is a great way to get some sun and take out some pent up aggression. Activities forces you to put in effort and organize with friends as well as frequently pits you against them, strengthening bonds and competitive tension in a way that adds a little spice into your social life.

All of my life I have underestimated the thrill of watching someone get the shit kicked out of them. Blood, battle scenes, and boxing were things I would flinch and close my eyes when exposed to. But on one fated movie night, someone decided to throw the Youtube channel Street Beefs on while we were waiting for snacks to arrive. The thrill! The passion! The lack of actual skills or athleticism! I quickly found myself unexpectedly invested in the combat of opponents with names like āKumquatā or āProdigal Sonā. Entranced by unlikely pairs like charming 4ā11 āBaby HulkāĀ and the unexpectedly sexy blonde āVikingā enter a caged ring in the middle of a field in bumfuck nowhere to kick the shit out of each other with little to no rules or regulation. With all the spins, curb stomps, and many semi-erotic tackles, itās impossible not to find yourself yelling at the screen.

The other day, I met up with a pal to get some coffee, I began to tell her all about the spring weather induced āhealth kickā I had enacted upon (which entails solely swapping breakfast pastries for acai bowls). I then fell into complaining about my back and somehow found myself saying, āI donāt know man, maybe I should get like cupped or something.ā The moment the words left my mouth, I knew I was onto something. In another subconscious act of genius, my thumbs typed in groupon to my phone. I quickly navigated the mobile site (I havenāt used Groupon in years of course I donāt have the app) and found myself a coupon for a 16$ cupping session in Chinatown, 2 minutes later and a slightly confusing phone call later, I was scheduled for an 11:30am appointment the next day. I arrived at a terrifyingly tiny office on the second floor of a condominium building, filled with dozens of tiny old ladies speaking Mandarin. Eventually I was led into a tiny cubicle where hot glass vases were suctioned on to my back for ten minutes in order to move my chi( ?? ) After the treatment was over I began a plethora of google searching to understand what magic had just been enacted upon my mortal corpse. Iām still not quite sure what cupping is suppose to do but it did leave chic little octopus kiss-esk bruises on my back which make everyone think Iām an athlete.
