serves as a visual cue for people on the street looking for a lighter. you never know who might meet and strike up a conversation. be smart abt it obv. & don't forget your lighter.

it took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to realize that everyone in my age group is carrying lighters around because cigarettes are back in. i don't smoke, but i figured you can always use a lighter on you anyway, just in case someone else needs one. everyone that steps outside to smoke at functions is always hot & cool-looking, so my secret plan is to make myself useful to them by offering a light. (i am a little too excited about this and it may take months for anyone to even ask me if i have a light and the payoff will last for 5 seconds but i will be cheering inside.) plus i can use mine to light my incense at home. i got this one for $6 from a vending machine at a college bar and the flame is GREEN

aka being a keeper of the flame. I rarely smoke but I like that I can provide when people ask me for a light.

when i want a cig and i‘m tipsy ill walk up to the smoking area and if there’s someone who looks friendly and cool i’ll say ‘you know how we’ve known each other our whole lives? you know how we’re long lost friends? please can i have a cig?’ and they’re so baffled by it that it a) mostly always works and b) makes them want to keep talking to you because of your strange and bold behaviour

I thought I was too old to intern (college degree, experience, good resume, etc) but a friend connected me with a company to interview for a 3month paid internship. worked a part-time job while interning. got hired full-time immediately after the internship. tbh I don't have the biggest ego, but this was one of those 'take a step back & take two steps forward' kind of moments. very grateful and lucky.
hope this encourages you!
