Peak is coming back this week

pucci meets jodio

this is going to be a hard post. but i feel like it needs to be said. it’s hard to find anyone in my community that looks like me. (black nb lesbian.) when the majority of people i see are white (which isn’t a attack to you guys in any way possible). it’s just hard for me to relate with you guys i guess, i can’t look like you guys cut my hair short and shaggy, my top scars wont look like yours. everything will be different in a way if that makes sense. i don’t want to receive any type of hate because of this post i am just speaking my mind and how ive felt for a while.

And when you smile the world is brighter ☀️

It's like we all collectively forgot as a society that friendship and just connection in general takes effort. Even if you meet someone you immediately click with, it takes hanging out about 20 times (!) to become friends. And guess what, some of those 20 meetings might be awkward or unimpressive.

We all want to reap the benefits (having a friend circle, having a partner, getting married) without doing the work (going to events, interacting with people, learning to handle conflict maturely, dating). Myself included. If I could, I'd never leave the house or go on another mediocre date again... except, that's part of the process.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the cure to the loneliness epidemic is touching some grass and building tolerance for tedious in-person interactions.
