Still -40 F, now with ice fog thrown into the mix for flavor. For one solid month. It hasn’t been this consistently cold in at least a decade… it’s kind of surreal that a normalcy that I haven’t seen/felt in years is still going strong, and the first time since I was a teenager that I’ve wanted warmer weather to come back this badly… 🥶

REAL TALK #13 "I will never understand why guys are not able to cancel a date instead of standing somebody up. Is it cowardness? Is it shame? Is it just ignorance and disrespect? It happened to me three times in a row now, with three different guys. Two of these guys did not even have the courage to respond to me when I asked for what happened. The third guy: "Why so much drama?" Even though I don't want to get bitter from these experiences, I do feel that it changes something within me."

Thinking of swapping LA for SF! 🌉 I’m looking for a community where values feel a bit more aligned. Do you think it’s a smart move, or should I stay put? • A. Total upgrade. Go for it! • B. Grass is always greener. Stay in LA. • C. Depends on what values you're chasing. Hit me with your advice/experiences! 🏳️‍🌈

You let me breathe, Even when I can’t see myself. For the nights I felt too full, Too heavy, A burden in my own mind. Knowing what was better for me, Was telling me to stop. To take it in, And come back when I was ready. I couldn’t see that from the start, Thought it was another careless thing to say. But I took your advice to heart, Ended a call, Made it short but sweet. Slept on it, Woke up, Feeling like me again. You were right, And maybe I was too blind, Too in my head, Stubborn to think I needed to take a pause. Thank you for trying to do what’s best, For telling me this wasn’t right. That me feeling this way, Could, And should, Be worked out in other ways.

Consistency reveals what words try to conceal. Intentions exist everywhere; behavior is rare. We mistake intensity for depth, and charm for commitment. Relationships are not built on how things sound, but on what quietly repeats itself. What we practice matters more than what we promise. What stays matters more than what excites. Connection only exists where effort moves both ways. Without reciprocity, there is presence, but no meeting. Consistency, in the end, is the most honest form of care. Remember this the next time you fall in love, or when someone offers you connection. What isn’t shown is often the loudest truth.

Soon, this year will come to an end. One thing we can give ourselves for everything we’ve been through is gratitude, because it is ourselves who carried us through so much, and it is ourselves who will continue into the year ahead. Thank you for being strong, and for growing another year. ✌🏻💪🏻

One of two grad school applications replied back. Rejected on the basis of competition… Fair, really struggled with the cover letters, so I’m not surprised…. Still sucks though. One more school left to hear back from, meanwhile I’ll continue to look at other degrees in theatre and art…

What are your own countries’ Christmas traditions or just your own personal ones? Im curious 🎄 I’ll start > in Poland we often buy a carp (a big pond fish) and put in our bathtubs to live for a little (one day usually) before preparing it for deep fry to serve as one of the dishes for Christmas 🫣

People finding out I’ve never been in any kind of relationship is genuinely so fucking humiliating. It’s something that is just such a non issue to me but they’ll IMMEDIATELY start treating me like a child.

One Verry suprising side benefit Ive been gettin from this app is, slightly more confidence with my body image! I see other guys posting pictures with similar body types to me, BUT with Much much more confidence. And its like, damn, why or what am I worried about?

I’m running toward the life I asked for, but my feet feel heavy with doubt. Every dream I chase turns around and asks me why I don’t believe in myself yet. I sit alone with all this wanting— wanting to be seen, wanting to feel enough without proving it first. Some days I swear I’m close, other days I feel like the distance itself. Still, I wake up reaching, because even frustrated, even tired, this hope in me refuses to leave. And how I’d love it so— to arrive without apologizing for the time it took me to believe I was worthy of the dream the whole time.
