certified crybaby so it brought tears to my eyes🥹.

But in all seriousness, we don’t really have this back home. It makes me feel like celebrating the season in every way possible 🍁 taken in Chicago, Illinois by @thevillageyapper

Popped by the apple festival over in Lincoln Square today. 🍁 Everyone I knew was busy so I went solo—of course I met some friendly strangers along the way.

All the outdoor tables were taken but I had picked up some dumplings🥹. I walked up to a couple people to say “do you mind if I..?” And before I could finish my sentence they welcomed me over. 🧡 Two locals who didn’t hesitate to make me feel like I was where I was supposed to be.

If Nicole and Joy see this—thank you! 🫶🏽 taken in Chicago, IL by @thevillageyapper

“Hi, are you walking to the same event? I’m a little lost, could I tag along?”

“I’m new to this community—what brought you here, if you don’t mind me asking?”

“I really enjoy talking with you— I hope we can do this again sometime?”

Making friends as an adult doesn’t need to be complicated. Believe it or not, these moments are from the past 12 weeks(I moved to Chicago this summer).

I’ve started over so many times in my life. New career paths, new cities, new faces. It’s just a matter of time before I make connections because if there’s one thing I’m going to do, I’m gonna yap. 🙂

But being a yapper is a superpower and a curse. Sometimes I hear myself talking too much in a conversation and realize I’ve overshared and in a blind panic I exit stage left as soon as f*cking possible.

Other times,
I make a new friend. 🥹
