Biased but it’s my wedding anniversary in October, and my daughter’s birthday — two events to celebrate. The leaves start to fall, the cold lingers in and stays for a bit. Mornings are a crisp 50°, days hit a high of 65° only to settle back to the 50° range at night. The suns sets earlier, the clothes get chunkier, the drinks get warmer. The plans for the holidays begin, the slow degrade of your work ethic also kicks off. Walks become enjoyable. More outdoors activities, apple picking and hiking and dinner parties and fire pits. It’s a wonderful, magical month.

April is my #1. I love the rain, the green, the walking outside bracing for the cold but being greeted with warmth. I love the worms and the tulips (even tho I don’t think they actually bloom yet but I have the association locked in my brain). I got married April 7 just to have something to celebrate in April.
June because it feels soft and celebratory. The beginning of summer, it’s exciting and new and I’m not over the heat yet.
October for obvious reasons. It’s fully autumn, spooky vibes galore, crunchy leaves underfoot and I can finally layer!!!
December, I’m a winter bitch. That first snow gets me giddy. You bet I get holly jolly. I’ve had a mixed relationship with December/christmas/my bday but we’re in a good place now. Plus, gift giving is a love language of mine so this season is like my superbowl.

september: it’s back to school! it’s still warm from the summer but there’s a chill in the air. campus is invigorated and i’m not bored of my classes or scared of exams yet. i have enough free time that i can see my friends before i drown in assignments. there are back to school activities and i have money to burn from my summer job
october: the fear of midterms has set in, but its offset by the fact that i’m watching a horror movie every single night. i’m dressing like a weirdo at school and everyone has gotten used to it. the leaves turned orange and fell off the trees in less than 24 hours, but it looked nice while it lasted. i work weekends at a haunted house

When the air starts to smell like dead leaves and it is brisk enough in the morning to want to wear a thick hoodie or flannel but warms up enough by the afternoon that you want to take it off. There is a distinctive feeling in the air that it doesn’t feel like Summer anymore.

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!
