want to live in a sitcom? start hanging out with your neighbors! invite them to dinner! make a standing happy hour at the mediocre bar on your block! text them neighborhood gossip! ask them to water your plants in exchange for little souvenirs when you travel!
be the Kramer, be the Phoebe, just have fun with it!

we are all in a similar struggle, smile, introduce yourself, make friends, give each other as many things for free as possible

i love how community building tea time is. every once in a while all my neighbors will get together and we’ll all bring sweets and mugs and we’ll sit together and catch up. it’s fun because neighbors are a more random bunch than any sort of pre formed friend group. so the stories and perspectives you hear are outside the scope of what you're used to.

Before I eat I’ve started to pray before meals. I pray for everyone involved in the cultivation and creation of my food. From the farmers, to the grocery clerk, to my roommate who sits with me while I cook.
Helps me remind myself that even something as small as my meal is a part of a bigger community. Maybe it does nothing, maybe attunes myself to others around me (especially to migrant farm workers + their struggles), maybe it’s just sending good vibes.

You do not need more advice.
Or practice.
Or thinking about it.
Stop talking about it. Actually do it.
Do it in baby steps or in giant leaps…but just go do it.
I wish I traveled/worked out/spoke more languages/read more/made more art/knew how to do XYZ type conversations do not get you closer to doing it.
Book that class, pick up that paintbrush, save that money for your flight, download those language apps and use them, buy that book.
shut up and do it!
With love

Looking for cheap simple vegan meals?
Countries with a high Orthodox Christian populous fast from meat, dairy, and animal products for more than half the year. Typically you can find a treasure trove of meal ideas from these countries googling the term fasting foods plus the countries name
I.E.
Russian fasting foods
Greek fasting foods
Belarusian fasting foods
Ethiopian fasting foods
Simple ingredients, vegan, and different. Part of the ideology is that fasting food should not be overly complex so you will not be hunting down ingredients
