I got a job offer that I’m very excited for and last night I felt super confident about it and today, maybe due to the Sunday scaries, I started to second guess it all. Texted three of my best friends and got this message before, along with a “I feel like I know you well enough to say that your ability to do something is directly correlated with your desire of whether or not you want to do it. Do you want to do it?” — It’s really great when you have friends who know you so well, well enough to encourage you but also realistically hold you accountable in moments of doubt.

it’s a different kind of trust and feels like i’m getting a good friend badge—does that make sense?
bonus point: you show up and they already know about you, like your friends really did prep them and like/trust you that much!

This is something I've struggled with my whole life as I am very self-conscious about being a bother and burden on literally anyone, but friends are supposed to be there for you. So I opened up and confided in some of my friends as I really didn't know what else there was for me to do, and I'm so glad I did. I deeply appreciated and continue to appreciate their empathy, kindness, and support. It was a big help and now I'm able to get thru this week feeling much less shitty about myself, or at least know that I got my friends in my corner.
Looking to be better about this :)

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.

florinegrassenhopper riotgrrrl brendanooooo slowdazzle buck_mcgraw and indianjones — we did it. Not only did we successfully meet for drinks, but we also schemed the hostile takeover of this app from tyler tonight.
In all seriousness — weird that an app I downloaded in April would make genuinely want to drive back into Brooklyn during end of day traffic for a happy hour. Great app filled with great people.

I feel like there’s a special connectivity on this app that I haven’t felt in a long time, maybe since early 2010’s tumblr. The fact that you can’t promote yourself like IG is wonderful. The fact that there isn’t mass video content like Tik Tok is great. It’s not this monetized / paid sponsorship app. People are here because they want to be a part of something with nothing to gain besides friendship. Seeing the URL -> IRL meetups warms my heart so much (waiting for an NYC or Brooklyn meetup).
Thanks for your participation on this niche little app. I smile reading all the recs and all the comments and all the asks. Hope we’ll all be here for a long time.

I think a life rule for me is to surround myself with people who know more / are smarter / are cooler than me and just absorb their aura by listening / observing them. It’s made me the incredibly smart / cool person you all know and love.
I just never thought I’d feel the same way about URL friends. I’m constantly listening to the songs I see posted here, reading the articles, subbing to newsletters, and googling topics that get tossed onto the feed.
It’s nice to know you can become a more rounded person by just absorbing what your mutuals post on here. I’m going to sit on my couch, have a cocktail and digest my lovely feed. Happy Sunday!
