I used to hang out with a coworker of mine on our breaks, we would drive around in my car and just chat. The first time we ever hung out he was on aux and played The Reason by Hoobastank, he belted at full volume the entire song. This shocked me because luckily I am nonjudgemental and I thought this was fabulous, and it was such a vulnerable thing to do with me and I felt very trusted. Unluckily he ended up being kind of awful to me when I rejected his romantic advances, but I really enjoyed this moment together and I can't stop thinking about it.

We were just hanging out at his place no food, no water, no anything at all he just played music at me for like an hour. I was stuck in place with how awkward it was. He even dedicated a song to me about a “Mexican girl” when I’m Thai and a guy. We don’t talk anymore. Though honestly I’m not even sure it was my worst first date 😔

So one of my flexes is that actually I had a great first kiss experience. I was 15, it was with my girlfriend at the time. We had been dating on and off for a few months (this was both our first like serious relationship that counted so it was pretty messy in soooo many ways). We had been best friends for a long time before dating and we always had feelings for each other.
We were in my house playing Dictator on my iPad, sitting on a bean bag in my room. We were cuddling and the tension was over the roof, and after holding the most intense stare ever I ask "what?" (and I knew what was happening but I wanted to play dumb so that she would say it and then I would not have to start it because I was nervous and we had never kissed and thought she might reject me?) anyway and she went "god, I hope I don't regret this" (which like looking back no wonder I was afraid of getting rejected and like damn bitch but also we were teens and she was very nervous too). So she KISSED ME and everything inside me exploded. We proceeded to make out for like a full 40 minutes with some breaks and like got hands under shirts and also this was the first time I ever touched a boob and it was MINDBLOWING and AWESOME (i love boobs).
The breaks we took in between were also pretty sweet. Our relationship up to this point and also after was full of hiding because neither of us wanted our families to know we were together so we were always looking to get intimate in positions were breaking apart at a moment's notice would give us plausible deniability (I still was a cishet man so it wasn't a closet thing back then, but neither of us was ever very close to our families that way). We would play a couple of rounds of Dictator and then make out in the ad breaks. Also my dog was around and wanted to play and was SUCH a bother. In the end the secrecy wasn't effective because the bean bag was right in front of my door (which I was not allowed to close) and we noticed at some point my mom was passing my room on the way out of a room we never saw her walk into in the first place...? So she definitely saw us, we just don't know at what part (hopefully not when we were getting handsy LOL).
We dated for a couple of months more, broke up because I left on a semester abroad, got back together after two years and had a much better, healthier, steady relationship for that time. We don't speak anymore (but that's a story for ANOTHER day) but last we spoke about this we both remember this kiss very fondly.

a couple weeks ago, i bumped into a friend that i say hi to every now and then, but don’t know much about. i’ve always thought he’s cute. we were both walking to the library to study, so we were talking and getting to know each other. i mentioned that i want to live back at home after i graduate uni because i would miss my dog (and parents) too much. then i showed him my lock screen of my dog. this song was playing (important!) and he stared at the screen for awhile and i thought that was strange because it wasn’t hard to see the pic of my dog. my delulu self thought he was trying to read the song name to listen to it later.
we ended up spending the rest of the day together, studying, trying to get to know each other while flirting, and then got taco bell for dinner (literally a date yk). he also paid for my drink at our campus cafe🥹
2 weeks ago, we were studying together again and i asked if he had spotify. he said yes, and i said that we should make a shared playlist that blends our music (i listen to it every day). the other day this song showed up and on the side it had both of our profiles… basically we both had listened to it, and it’s SO CUTE because he is so observant and makes an effort to get to know me. and no i don’t think he alr knew who caroline polachek is based on what he listen to. anyway i really really like him and this might be the start of a love story pls wish me luck🤞🏻

Stop worrying about what jokes and references are currently the funniest and not “cringe”. Don’t give into every microtrend because capitalism praises those who continue to buy. If a trend helps you discover something you like, that’s amazing, but discover who you are rather than sloppily tying your identity to something that will be worthless in a week.

I‘m told that it’s rude, but frankly I don’t care. How many people am I supposed to say goodbye to? Does everyone just stand and watch as I say goodbye? Is it announced that I’m leaving? Am I losing an ambiguous alibi and whereabouts? Yes. I’m going to leave and what are you going to do… tell me to stay???? I’m already gone.
