no way this gets u to read
talk to strangers
for the past 2 weeks, ive been stirring up conversations with strangers like elon musk stirs up twitter drama.
whether it be the barista at a coffee shop, someone in the sauna, or a stranger on the street, these mini-conversations have been the light of my life.
most people like to talk.
they enjoy it.
try talking to a stranger today. maybe compliment their shoes or make fun of their coffee order. whatever it is, have fun.

shit happens.
what matters is how you respond to the shit.
last night, i threw up in a movie theater.
my friend Jack and i were so excited. after months and months of waiting, Dune II was finally released. we were beyond hyped.
and as we settled into the seats and watched in awe as colors danced in front of our eyes, i started to fidget.
discomfort in my stomach led my to using the bathroom, but nothing. i was fine.
i returned back. sat down. and 20 minutes later, last night’s dinner was on the floor.
it sucked.
but i wiped myself off.
gargled a bit.
swore under my breath.
and moved on.
sure, it was embarrassing, but i didn’t beat myself up. shit happens. i didn’t let the vomit control my day.
we left the theater. so that sucked. but we’re seeing the movie again today. and now, im feeling better.
woot woot!
