A lot of my friends live in a different state than me and I take the train up to see them semi-regularly, which gives me something to look forward to often and makes hanging out feel extra special. I’ve also found that by coming to town local friends are brought together who otherwise may not have seen eachother for a while because life in proximity can often shake out to a “I can always see them next weekend” mentality. Visiting helps to sustain an intentionality to my friendships’ which I like and think is important. Having friends visit is also very sweet and a rewarding experience that makes my heart swell. Additionally, having sleepovers as an adult is rare but sleeping next to your friend and having a coffee in the morning is a top tier experience which is not going to go wasted on me.

I love spending time with my friends. It is my favorite thing to do. There is nothing better than making plans to see my friends, especially if I haven’t seen them in a long time. I also love running into my friends, I think that is the most magical thing about living in New York, you get to run into your friends everywhere you go. I love a good chat with my friends, both new and old. My favorite thing about touring is making new friends who live in different places and then getting to see them when we go back to those places. I love hearing about all of the life experiences my friends are having or have had or are aspiring to have, but it is even more special when I get to experience a little bit of life with them.

there’s something so satisfying about a lengthy hangout. there are so many shifts and unspoken compromises between people, roles assumed and forfeited. it’s just awesome, i love my friends.

i miss having seeing a friend on campus and running small errands with them. as you get older these things become less of a thing, but when it happens, it’s glorious.

I threw a dinner party last night and it was so much fun! It’s winter and it’s been pretty bleak, so I thought it be nice to have friends over. This was my first time hosting something completely solo and I thought it would be very stressful but it was smooth sailing and the night was merry and cute! For me this past year has really been about platonically putting myself out there and forging local friendships and last night felt like a cumulation of that effort :-) It wasn’t a super fancy meal, but still, very nice. It’s great to be invited but its also like sometimes you gotta make the magic happen

Intentionally putting on a special outfit for chilling really enhances the experience.

I’m sitting outside eating a spicy falafel wrap and fries in the best city (Philadelphia), the sun is shining, ambient music is being played directly into my eardrums, I’m texting friends, a child is playing and just leapt over me. I’m wishing everyone I talk to a happy new year :)
