Today's weather forecast (Melbourne CBD, 3000): min - 16°C, max - 22°C. 25% chance of at least 1mm of rain

Emoji inspiration: I call this part of the year (the time between Boxing Day and New Year's Day) the "never-never times" because some things are open, others are closed, some people are working, a lot not, so fuck all gets done, and if you need anything besides food or groceries, you're basically SOL

Happy International Day of Epidemic Preparedness!

Yikes, the apps sound exhausting. Good for meeting people you wouldn't cross paths with at all irl, but exhausting.

Ghosting might be a convention on the apps, but should not be a convention at all.

I hope you experience much-needed relief after you get off them, and all the best smashing those goals!

I definitely do not recommend them. It is exhausting and not good for your mental health.

and thank you :)

Every friend I've drifted from has also drifted from me. I went to seven schools as a kid so maybe I accept it too easily.

That's the killer part, isn't it. Nothing stops them from reaching out, but they don't.

it's a sad realisation
