"it shut down, so it wasn't a success."

no. it was a success for a period of time. for a phase of life. that doesn't mean it was meant to be forever.

"the hedonic treadmill of just going to the next party or buying myself the next thing isn't working for me. i want to be part of something."

one of the most common things gillian hears from people who chose not to have kids, and still want to be around the next generation.

asked what would improve their commute, almost everyone said "let me keep to myself."

the ones forced to talk to a stranger got off the train happier. the ones who got their wish got off sadder.

ALT LIVING BOOK CLUB (2nd edition):

Some excerpts from the four articles we’ll be reading and discussing (<1 hour reading commitment ahead of Book Club)

“What’s the big benefit to living alone that I was missing? 28% of Americans live alone. Nearly one in three people. There must have been advantages I wasn’t seeing

“I went on a few dates. It was nice to think that if I liked someone enough to invite him home, I’d be able to bring him to my ‘own’ place and not have to explain why I have roommates in my thirties.

Then I realized most of the people I’ve dated over the last few years were friends of my roommates, who I’d met when they came to some event at our house. I missed that pool of vetted friends-of-friends as I downloaded the apps and started swiping. The dates were, to a man, disastrous. Who knew how many QAnon conspiracy theorists are lurking in the NYU faculty!”
- @gillianemorris

“If a friend expresses interest in the unit, I schedule a tour myself. Then tell them “I’m seeing the unit tomorrow at 3 pm if you want to join.” (Yes, I know that might seem crazy. But also remember: I live near 22 friends, and my life is awesome).”

It’s so crazy to think that I have spent 5 months at @joinedgecity events.

It’s always a new layer of growth edge unlocked after one month of insanely packed activities: social, physical, technical, playful… my cup is always full and all my inner characters came out to dance. 💃

I miss this family <3

Until next time 🛸
