assorted paris recs

just came back from my first trip to paris here is what i rec as a first timer who fucking crushed it • when parisians start speaking to you in french just stare at them like this 😃 and don't say shit • the louvre-adjacent mcdonalds • a thin black scarf • being really brave at the top of the eiffel tower • facetiming my dad on his birthday (if it is my dad's birthday while you're in paris) (nov 10th) • only going to restaurants you will never recover from financially • walking into any nightclub and buying the 12€ poppers • accidentally almost saying "bonjour" to the first person you see in your neighborhood back in america (i'm cooked)

how to not go insane when dating

easy: delete the apps, stop dating, consider the things you find interesting/attractive in others and just do those things yourself, hangout with friends, read a book, take a class, take a walk, drink some coffee, drink some water, visit the beach, visit a museum, go to the movies, go to the club, go to bed.

substack & realizing that i’ve never once had an original thought or feeling in my life.

reading a new friends substack and resonating so hard with her post about working to overcome her social anxiety, introversion, and shame to become more comfortable and outgoing. not only did this inspire me that i need to pick up my own substack again, but also that becoming less of a weirdo in social settings is possible for me too 🤞🏼
