Covid, no: you have to be eligible by being in a high risk group.

Flu, yes: eligible group = free. Anyone else, available at small cost. Many workplaces offer them for free to their employees.

Getting vaccinated against Covid is still cool and hip and makes you better at video games.

I love this for you, tbh.

Is there an update? Did it make it inside?

I know we’ve only met very briefly in the grand scheme of things, but somehow this seems very on brand?

1) you are forgiven

2) still unsure about whether to be upset about the Dutch comment 😤

3) pitch? Tell me!

Jeff Bezos might have built a spaceship, but indie bookstores build and nurture whole communities and that is *way* more impressive and valuable.

Genuinely; always stay curious and open minded. Get therapy, for sure.

But also; let go of any insecurities you still have about your worth and your value and being cool. Being liked for what you portray.

People are expecting to meet a fully fledged adult. So be yourself, as you want to be.

Man, a lot of things get better. You don’t have to always try to find out what you like anymore. To “create” yourself.
You’re you. You know what food you like. What movie genres. The spot around the corner.

You’re provably also past living up to your potential; you’re BEING you. It rocks.

I flew to Istanbul with a friend who really loves cats, and the first thing we did after settling into the hotel was go buy cat treats. We’ve been saying hi to kitties all over the city for the past few days.

Jamen som én der lider af det i stigende grad, så er min vigtigste bekymring faktisk om mænd finder mig tiltrækkende.
