I was at a I was actually at a party last week and someone asked my friend, like people catching up who haven't seen each other in a while, and someone's asked my friend, like, Oh my gosh, how has your summer been? And she was like
Um it's been really strange and
difficult.
And
busy.

busy. But not in a way that feels
like awesome. I
like haven't even seen my friends. No way, no. And like I I've never I've never cried in a summer so much as I have this summer. Yeah. I think. Yeah. There's currently six men in my apartment opening up all of the walls because all of the pipes, I think probably in the whole building, are completely fucked. And I'm like, if this isn't a metaphor for something, like all the piping in my apartment is exposed. Pulled out by the root. Pulled out by the root.

There were f six men speaking, I am not exaggerating, three different languages.
Oh my god.
God. Which was actually kind of beautiful. I was I was like, I do feel like the melting pot of New York City is happening in my apartment. Yeah. You're like, but it's happening in my apartment. It's happening in my apartment. Which is supposed to be in my special special place in the morning. And I had to shower at my gym and my hair is wet and I don't even know how I'm gonna change because there's six men in my apartment, which is the case. Yeah.
Except in the bathroom, which of course is where the men are.
That's where all the men are. And in my kitchen, so I also couldn't eat anything. Oh my god. But then I went to a coffee shop to get a coffee and I ran into a friend who I haven't seen in a while. Okay, wow. And then I told her about everything going on in my life and it made me feel better. Thank you. I have been honestly just communitying it up. That's good. Like every day, seeing friends, talking to people. I am being capital S supported. That's good. Which is amazing. That's great. That's great.
I feel like every friend I've reached out to to be like, Can we do like this? Like, let's get this in the calendar. It's taken so long to get on the calendar. And then I've had to reach out to every single person and be like, so something came up and now it's getting mixed around. So could you actually do this day?
