Stop walking into bookstores and asking for a particular title bc it’s a bestseller 😴 Go walk outside to the used $3 rack and comb it like you’re looking for lice on an eight year olds greasy head. I mean, look at every title. Pick up the ones that truly speak ur name and leave the others for their fated owners. Once ur arms are full of slept on bangers for cheap$, u are allowed entry to the main event. Inside, peruse carefully but whimsically, let urself be pulled this way and that by a nice font and a bright cover and a tempting staff rec sticky note. If you are determined to find a particular book bc ur bff w good taste recd it or ur in a book club then u are allowed to hunt for it, but u must HUNT. u can only ask for help if u are in a horrible rush, or truly cannot find the title after giving it your best effort. Otherwise, listen to what the shelves are telling you👂
It is in this manner I have found many of the best books I’ve ever read… those recs coming soon

being sincere is in, thinking you’re always the most interesting person in the room is OUT.
take the opportunity to learn from this random human you have crossed paths with at the function. make a big impact with a little, casual convo. what are they into? how did they get into their line of work? what did they eat that day? what is their biggest fear? (lol) small talk is only shallow if you let it be.
tell someone working in a super busy place that they’re doing great and you hope they get a breather soon. compliment an outfit you like when you see it. tell someone when you notice their beautiful smile. quick interactions =/= insignificant

very satisfying to prolong the life of things in a world where not very many things are made to last. just applied renovating cream to my blundstones. cleaning my car, sewing up holes or tears in clothing, trimming the wicks of candles, and using slip-on covers for old books fall into this category too

started the year off right with a three hour conversation with one of my former co-workers turned friend who is probably around my parents' age. went to a funky second wave coffee shop in my hometown and sat on some comfy chairs and caught up. then afterwards, we went to a craft store to look for frames for art she wants to hang up in her home. she encouraged and inspired me so much <3 I cherish her
