My all time greats. So funny, heartwarming, and quirky. The jokes don’t feel tired to me as many other comedies do. Enough character development and drama to where you really feel invested, but still light-hearted and enjoyable. I find that so much media nowadays is incredibly profound and interesting, but just so damn depressing or uncomfortable that it’s hard to watch. I’m not usually a tv watcher because of this, but these are all hits for me.

My friend and I watch SATC and High Fidelity (2020) whenever we want to feel better about our romantic (and just general life choices).
If you like the world of Gilmore Girls, Freaks and Geeks is so comfortable to sit in. The characters feel like how real high schoolers (I dated a guy in high school a lot like Nick from this show and we all have, I think). The costuming and soundtrack is great, the midwestern vibes are comforting, and the acting is surprisingly raw and realistic for being a comedy series. Martin Starr has genius comedic timing.
Dollface is kind of a hidden gem! Kat Dennings is a gemini queen and she creates a really lush and intricate imaginary world in this show.
Community is perfect for pop culture nerds- the first season is like a lot of sitcom shows in that it takes a bit for them to hit their stride and find their audience. It does not use the mockumentary style like Parks & Rec and The Office, which gives the show more permission to be weird and far-away from reality.

Sitcoms have been one of the most important parts of my life for far too long , they bring me joy And sorrow but they encapture something so beautiful about life and friendships, so here are some of my favorite.
- The good place
May be my favrote, it has an insane plotwist ( which I would never spoil , even to my worst enemy), it’s so heartfelt and shows how the people around you can change you forever. And i still think about the ending to this day.
-Community
It’s a silly But comforting show ,which is often underrated, great characters tahr will make u feel understood.
-New girl
Funniest show , some of my favrot sitcom characters ever and the romance is immaculate.
-Brooklyn 99
A classic , my all time favrote.
-How I met your mother
Look I agree , that last episode , horrible but other than that everything about this show from the comedy to the characters , amazing , i think about the characters arcs all the time .
I have so many more recs wich I would love to share!

For ridiculousness/comedy, I recommend Community, Always Sunny and Cobra Kai (cringe at many points but so worth it imo)
I have also been getting into Succession! I havent finished it yet— I have also heard it gets pretty crazy, so fair warning for that
for nostalgia, I always go back to Liv & Maddie or Henry Danger
those shows are so incredibly cheesy it’s healing. ive seen them tens of times each
I am also starting to watch Gilmore Girls with my s/o and its interesting so far:)
this guy is my hero vvv

It just makes the dopamine not as easy to access. For example, swiping between posts takes forever compared to insta or tiktok, if i go out of the app for a minute, the post i was looking at will be gone so i have to dig to find it again, and i can’t seem to select and delete multiple words so i have to delete entire sentences individually which makes me more mindful about what i’m typing. idk i just feel that this app is making me rediscover that good things are inconvenient some times and that that’s rewarding.

Just saying yes to everything and going for it under the guide that this is my one year experiment with no repercussions to see how my life will change when I actually do the things I want to.

i’ve spent most of my life searching for romantic love and thinking something was wrong with me because i never got it. i prayed even though i’m not religious, i had a box filled with manifestations of the “perfect” guy under my pillow, i tried to go after guys i knew were meh because i thought u could make the love blossom, i did honey jar spells, i changed the way i looked, the way i spoke, my interests, i did EVERYTHING. this all resulted in a slew of horrendous situationships that tore down my self-esteem. after these, i definitely worked on myself and became much more confident and sure of myself, but still thought that a relationship would be the thing to make me truly happy. at 20, i had my first real boyfriend and he was “perfect”, or at least everything i thought i had ever wanted. he was attractive, tried to pay for everything, planned the most thoughtful dates, went out of his way to see me, was incredibly intelligent, kind, loyal, hardworking, took care of me when i was sick, and even respected the fact that i’m entirely celibate (like what 20 y/o guy is ok w that??). i ended up breaking up with him after a few months because i realized that a relationship was not what i actually wanted or needed, it was just what i thought about 24/7. not saying this is you, but the steps i took after our breakup might help with your situation. diversify and expand your sources of happiness/love as no one source will make you feel truly fulfilled. i started by doing 4 things: something that expanded my mind, something that earned me money, something that fulfilled me creatively, and something that fed me spiritually. for me this was college classes, a job at a restaurant, painting, hanging out with the people that i love more often, and joining a bunch of clubs at my school. i think our society places so much emphasis on romantic love, but other types, especially the love i receive from my friends has been the most unconditional and satiating. lastly, (again not saying this is you, it’s just a common reality) expecting one person to satisfy all of your need for love is not only dangerous for you (if they leave, you’ll be crushed) but also unfair to them. maybe i‘m just yapping to yap, but i hope this was helpful.
