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

Some of the best, most energy-filled conversations I’ve had have been with strangers at the grocery store, while in traffic, and even on customer service lines. Talk to store clerks about their weekend plans, ask the person next to you at the meat counter what they’re making for dinner, see people and be seen. It’s beautiful!!!!!!!!

😃Every day, go out into the world and have even a tiny social interaction. Ask a cashier what interesting thing has happened during their shift. Tell someone their dog is cute. Say hi to the other person waiting for their coffee. It all adds up.

🛠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
