Greetings everyone.
2
Ew.
3
Hi guys.
4
Hey.
5
Hey.
6
Hey guys.
7
Hey.
8
Welcome to this week's episode of Pretty Lonesome.
9
Coffee.
10
Next to me.
11
Why?
12
It's 4pm.
13
Guys, what is it about fucking 4pm?
14
Like, I genuinely...
15
I wake up in the morning with a flame in my heart.
16
Like, I just can't wait for the day.
17
Not every day.
18
Not every day, but like a lot of the time I get happy in the morning.
19
I like the mornings.
20
There's so much hope for the day.
21
It's also the time of day where I can drink as much caffeine as I want, right?
22
With no consequences to bedtime.
23
I'm alive.
24
I'm happy.
25
There's hope.
26
There's goals.
27
There's potential.
28
And then around 4 p.m., that's the time where I say no more caffeine, no more fun stuff.
29
Got to start thinking about tonight.
30
My all of my happy hormones go away.
31
Like, I get spooky and scary around 4pm.
32
And by like 8, I'm like back on track.
33
Like, I'm eased into the fact that it's evening and tomorrow is nearly hit.
34
I will soon be in bed and everything will be fine.
35
Tomorrow I can wake up and try again.
36
Today, I had the weirdest morning.
37
I swear we have interesting things to talk about this week.
38
But like, this morning I woke up at 1 minute to 7.
39
What the fuck?
40
I've never done that before, like, organically.
41
Unless I'm severely jet lagged.
42
I woke up at one minute seven no alarms I was like what the fuck like what the actual fuck
43
got up like I wasn't even tired enough to lay in bed I just got up
44
and then I came I think it's
45
because I genuinely rested over the weekend I didn't do any like real work over the weekend kind of
46
which I usually just do a bit here and there every day
47
and then just like I don't really consider myself as needing a weekend
48
because my job is so fucking easy so I'm like I'll just
49
do a bit of work every day of the week
50
and like I'll survive I'm sure
51
but I did actually have a busy week last week
52
so then I was like I'm gonna take the full weekend
53
and just like rest and not do anything intentionally
54
and then maybe I'll actually be more productive during the week oh there's a thought
55
so I did
56
that maybe that's why I feel maybe that's why I woke
57
up this morning I don't know anyway made myself the best
58
breakfast I've maybe ever made in my life three hard-boiled eggs
59
smoked salmon on the side half of a bagel with brie cheese brie cheese yes
60
and fucking prosciutto crazy and a ciggy's yogurt how you say
61
that the protein as
62
if there was enough protein in everything i already made like what the fuck gains or whatever
63
that was at seven ish by 8am i was asleep on
64
the couch fell asleep at eight woke up at 10 confused as fuck
65
because i don't even remember falling asleep i was like what the hell
66
and i felt so gross
67
that i had wasted my perfect morning perfect breakfast perfect wake up time everything
68
and then it suddenly is like half 10
69
and i was like what the actual fuck happened
70
so I went for a walk
71
and on my walk I realized I was nearby this plant shop
72
that I saw like a week ago
73
and I was like oh I could buy some plants
74
and I'm close enough to my apartment that I could carry them home
75
so I went in and I bought a plant I bought a monstera monstera plant don't know
76
if that's how you say it I've had one before loved
77
it didn't kill it it actually still is alive at my mom's house
78
and it's massive the lady in there though she tried to
79
sell me I was like do you have any other like somewhat low maintenance house plants
80
and she points me to a fig tree there's been two
81
fig trees in my care before both of them dropped their leaves just
82
because I looked at them I looked at her
83
and I was like I don't know I've killed a couple of those before
84
and she goes yeah they could be a bit finicky a
85
bit I genuinely what the fuck scat you're a scam artist
86
and I know she thought she could pull one over on me
87
because when I looked at the monstera
88
or whatever it's called I've had them before I've had multiple of them
89
and I love them they're like my favorite houseplant
90
because they grow new sprouts or whatever the fuck so quickly
91
and it's like there's always something exciting going on
92
but I couldn't remember the name of it so I looked at her
93
when I first walked in I was like what is
94
that plant called and then she's like oh that's a monstera
95
or whatever the fuck
96
so she obviously thought I was some kind of dweeb some
97
kind of dweeb new to the plant caring business I'm not
98
I'm not I'm quite a good plant mom remember I got
99
that whole book yeah I've got a whole fucking book I've
100
had house plants ever since my first year of uni I
101
was really depressed my mum came to visit me at uni one time
102
and she was like I was like really depressed she took me to the shop to get me food
103
and then she also was like I'm gonna buy you this basil plant
104
because number one I love basil
105
and number two she was like it'll keep you company
106
and you can fucking eat it so it's two in one I was like okay
107
and that was what got me into plants and they always since then I've had house plants this This is, since moving into this New York apartment,
108
this is the longest time I've not had plants in my care.
109
I couldn't bring my house plants from LA because I didn't have an apartment.
110
I was like, just sleeping in hotels for like three months before I moved in here.
111
So they are no longer with me, but yeah, this is the longest I've gone.
112
She tried pulling one over me.
113
She said, yeah, fig trees, low maintenance.
114
No, it's not.
115
Also, how fucking expensive is that?
116
I know your tricks.
117
Anyway, my lips always feel so crusty.
118
Ugh.
119
Anyway, so behind my camera right now is my new Monstera whatever-the-fuck plant.
120
And I got some soil to repot it because it needs repotting.
121
I watered it.
122
And now I have a baby.
123
I wasn't going to get any houseplants here because, number one, I don't even think this is the vibe.
124
Like, normally I think houseplants are always the move for an apartment that needs extra love and life.
125
but for some reason this apartment just to me doesn't give
126
you need a bunch of plants I don't know maybe I'm crazy
127
but I was like let me just get one for company
128
and then see if I like the apartment more with it in
129
but let me just get a friend I need a friend I need something in here that's alive with me
130
because currently it's just me and the occasional roach
131
which is really starting to grind my gears hey I literally cannot fathom the fact
132
that this is just part of my life now The thing is, this is genuinely, it's a nice building.
133
There's an exterminator that comes every Thursday for the basement, which I don't like.
134
I wish they didn't tell me that.
135
Why does it need it every fucking, I know it's New York, I get it, it's normal.
136
I just wish I didn't know.
137
And then anyway, I just, there's been three now.
138
Roaches in my apartment, one alive, two were found dead.
139
The alive one, I never would say that I'm happy
140
that a friend of mine had an adverse experience and I didn't, right?
141
I love my friends, I don't want them to suffer with all love to Toa I am
142
so glad that was you and not me babe
143
because all we were talking she came to stay for my birthday
144
and she was like doing her laundry right before she was leaving on the last day
145
and I just I was in the hallway talking to her
146
she was in the bathroom I just heard the loudest scream
147
and I knew immediately that's a cockroach scream it's a cockroach scream
148
and I had initially kept the information from her that there had ever been any kind of
149
whiff of a cockroach in here
150
because I know what she's like unfortunately an alive one found her t-shirt
151
and in her words was wearing it it was wearing it
152
so I'm sorry t that that happened what's really fucking crazy though is
153
that my I I didn't know what to do
154
because it was alive like if it was dead I would have got rid of it
155
but it wasn't and I'm not doing that so I called my superintendent
156
and I was like help help help like there's a roach I don't know if that's what you're meant to do
157
I don't know if you're even allowed to do that
158
but I called him and I was like please come
159
and help me he came the guy shows up I'm like imagining
160
that he's maybe gonna like I didn't know what I thought
161
I don't know what I was expecting to see him show up to my apartment with
162
but what I wasn't expecting was for him to show up
163
with one latex glove just one I opened the door
164
and he was like where is it
165
and I was like it's in the bathroom I have no
166
right to ask you a single question about your setup up just
167
if that's what you want I show him to the bathroom
168
he closes the door goes in there I hear some things moving around a fight ensues
169
if you will and then I hear the toilet flush
170
and he comes out and he's like I killed it
171
and he's like I took it I killed it
172
and I flushed it that is a god he's a god the respect
173
that I have for him is genuinely I have never felt
174
that for a person before like you're the closest thing a
175
man can get to being a god in my opinion speaking of gods
176
and the that's made me think of the high fae i'm halfway through akatar
177
and she's about to fuck him i think i will get back to you i'll get back to you
178
but they just went swimming
179
and they went swimming in their undergarments in the pool of
180
starlight oh my god i just i i've been on
181
and off with the book because it's a fucking slow start
182
but I just picked it up again like a day ago
183
and I'm getting really into it now because shit's heating up and she is getting less annoying.
184
My initial qualm with that book was like Feyre
185
or however you say her name is so annoying like her internal monologue makes me genuinely want to smack her.
186
It's so I understand if I had read
187
Hurtin no I would have taken issue at any age I would have been more inclined to like her
188
when I read if i read that when i was like 16 17
189
which 15 14 14 year old me would have fucked with pharah
190
but and i understand maybe that's the demographic of the book i'm reading
191
and if that's the case then fine i get it
192
but like i've been struggling with pharah a bit but now
193
that she's warming up and not being
194
so bloody annoying i can get into it i can get
195
into i'm having a hard time picturing her like i can
196
picture tamlin i can picture lu can't picture pharah for some reason i'm trying to like figure it out
197
but i think that's really cock blocking me in this whole scenario
198
so i'll get back to you i made this coffee with new beans
199
that i've never tried before it's 4 p.m did i mention
200
that already what's going on it's 4 p.m
201
and i should not be drinking coffee right now
202
but i have therapy tonight fuck it fuck it cheers well maybe not cheers we're gonna see
203
if it's nice first well cheers regardless obviously hot hot hot
204
oh it's not actually hot oh yuck i think yuck to all coffee until I drank
205
and drunken drunk hello drunk enough cups drank to drink to
206
drank I drank I was drunk I drunk I drank what's the difference let's look fuck off you're in my way
207
it's two friends use drank as the simplest past tense of the verb drink e.g I drank water
208
and use drunk as the past participle with helper verbs like I have, has or had, I have drunk water.
209
Drunk.
210
Okay, so it would be drunk.
211
Until I have drunk enough cups.
212
No, that's past participle.
213
This is a hypothetical past participle.
214
Until I have drunk enough cups, I guess it still works the same.
215
Simple past, use drank when an action happened at a specific time in the past.
216
No. When to use drunk, past participle with helper verbs, use drunk afterwards like have, has or had.
217
Okay, so when I have drunk enough cups, I will know if I like it.
218
Well, I will like it inevitably.
219
I warm to any type of bullshit coffee you give me.
220
Like the amount of disgusting coffee beans I've bought in my life, taken the first sip and genuinely made a face as
221
if I've just smelt like three piles of dog shit on my shoe
222
and then I will drink it regardless and then I'm saying I'm genuinely a fan of that coffee bean after a week.
223
It's disgusting.
224
I'll put anything in this body, in this temple.
225
Okay.
226
So what the fuck was I talking about?
227
oh yeah anyway
228
so more importantly i don't remember what i was talking about before nor do i really care to find out
229
so more importantly let's talk about it fucking sterling point why
230
is this on my journal yuck sterling point big fan huge
231
fan where is everybody from like where the fuck is everybody from where are we all from crazy crazy okay
232
if you haven't seen it i'm gonna be spoiling the shit out of it
233
so do with
234
that information what you will what the fuck is his name
235
rory my main point of my main we need to talk about rory essentially so annie ends up with
236
ellis we all knew
237
that was coming there's obviously passion there it mixes in nicely
238
with her mom's storyline blah blah blah blah i would have been happy if she ended up with rory
239
The nice thing about Sterling Point is that there's no, it's like, there's no evil boy.
240
Well, the brother's an issue, but like there's no evil boyfriend potential.
241
Like they're both good people.
242
That is so rare.
243
It's something interesting actually that I think Amazon Prime has done more than once.
244
When I was watching off campus, there's this scene after, I can't remember the main guy's name, but after the main hockey player guy finds out
245
that the main girl was sexually assaulted and hasn't had sex since
246
and then he's like working out in the gym with one of the other hockey guys
247
and they're talking about like how is he gonna go about sex
248
or something with her now that she wants to have sex again
249
and I can't remember the context but they're having
250
that kind of conversation
251
and you're thinking well I was thinking like oh god like two gym bros in the gym talking about sex
252
and a girl being assaulted and how is he gonna fuck her now?
253
I was like, oh, this is just gonna be a horrible scene and it's gonna piss me off.
254
And then they have the healthiest conversation about sex and making her calm and making her comfortable.
255
And like, I can't remember what the fuck they even said, but I remember being like, wow, that's unrealistic.
256
Well, maybe it's not.
257
Maybe it's not always unrealistic.
258
It's obviously fucking possible.
259
And that was what they wrote.
260
And like, that was so nice.
261
That was such a nice version of reality to watch.
262
I like that they were both great options
263
but the thing with Rory is
264
and I have actually some suggestions okay I have some suggestions
265
granted I'm assuming there's gonna be a season two number one
266
season two I'm gonna need someone to just go in there and just fucking ruffle his hair
267
ruffle his hair for me maybe he could grow it out a bit in between seasons
268
if no ruffling just don't brush just ruffle please beg I'm begging the second thing is is
269
that the only thing that made
270
Rory slightly not an unlikable character for me
271
but like less favorable than Ellis is the fact
272
that he is really the here's the thing I was gonna say he's like oh he's the one
273
that comes from money and like everyone knows that
274
that just can be unappealing like a super rich like soft milky boy like i do who wants
275
that even if you're hot even
276
if you're nice it's like especially in tv like obviously the hot gritty guy who fucking works at the boatyard
277
or whatever and steals money is more appealing okay i was like
278
that doesn't make any fucking sense
279
because literally they are millionaires like like the three other main
280
characters in the tv series are millionaires like probably significantly richer than rory in fact definitely richer than rory
281
because it's rory's parents who were rich and then fucking Annie is actually rich
282
and like everyone else is pretty well off too like we've just inherited the entire island like what do we
283
so then I was like well
284
that can't be my qualm with Rory's character my qualm with Rory's character is
285
that he is too wishy-washy like he could acknowledge
286
that what his friend was doing was wrong
287
but he couldn't stop him in the moment only kind of say something after
288
which commendable but still like that's not hot
289
and then the other thing is his mother
290
so in season two i need number one i need his hair ruffled
291
and number two i need him to become estranged from
292
that awful family of his that will supply him with the grit
293
that he needs for his character to finally be actually sexy
294
and not like borderline sexy and in rejecting his family okay
295
and in having been to college in the time in between season one and season two
296
his character will come back with some different clothes some different clothes
297
and not partaking in his awful family
298
and i'm not saying he needs to completely disconnect from his mother
299
but he needs to at least not be he needs to
300
become aware of what's going on with his mom his fuck-ass mom
301
and then he needs to reject that in front of her face
302
and whatever happens next don't care he could stay in touch with her he could not don't really care
303
but i'm gonna need that to happen
304
okay so ruffle his hair get him away from his mother the male to female the heterosexual
305
if you will storylines in fucking sterling point a borderline didn't
306
matter to me at all like the what the hell are their names oh ramona ramona
307
and una's storyline you know when drake barked for that goth girl
308
that was me watching sterling point the whole fucking time
309
when they were on screen genuinely what are we talking about
310
that was i okay listen it takes me a really long
311
time people tell me all the time like oh you should watch this show you should watch this show
312
and i'll be like oh yeah that sounds
313
so up my street i'll watch it and then i don't fucking watch it
314
and then two months later i'll watch it maybe i see
315
edits of shows i haven't seen all the time on my fucking for you page
316
and whatever and i'm like oh that looks great squirrel i saw like I think it was two edits.
317
The first edit I saw of Una and Ramona, I was like, oh, that looks interesting.
318
What's that?
319
Scroll.
320
Then another one came up and I was like, what is this?
321
What is this?
322
And how do I get involved with this?
323
And then it said in the caption was like Sterling Point and it was like a new video.
324
So I was like, this must've just come out, typed it in, watched it straight away.
325
The second second, I'm not gonna say the second, the second second that I saw that going on, I was like, get involved me.
326
Wish they got more screen time.
327
That's my only complaint.
328
Cause I feel like by making the triangle between the boys and the girls, like, oh my God, who cares?
329
Do you know what I mean? Who cares?
330
And that should have, there should have been a triangle with them.
331
Actually, no, no, that shouldn't have been.
332
And I liked that, like, I liked that the focus wasn't like, there was no like real commentary on like coming out or any of that stuff.
333
Like everyone was just kind of already in the flow of things.
334
And I just feel like a lot of the time queer storylines in TV, there's a lot of focus around those kinds of struggles.
335
And you don't really just get to see two people falling in love
336
or dealing with normal relationship issues that come along with that.
337
Like the fear of being left, that's so normal.
338
Or like the fear of not being enough or like those things, like you see less of that because there's usually other storylines
339
that are more like central to what makes their relationship
340
or how they end up getting together
341
and like as real as those things are like I need
342
to see people just actually getting down to business respectfully like cut this shit
343
and kiss and they did thank you
344
and the only reason they didn't do it sooner is
345
because they were best friends which is brilliant I like
346
that slow burn wonderful stuff when I was watching Outer Banks I loved
347
that shit but in the gold search annoyed me in the end
348
because like I was enjoying the dynamics of the friendship group
349
and then the gold just kept getting in the way like
350
they'd have to go off on these fucking big gold hunts
351
and I'd be like guys go home like I want to see you hang out you can't hang out
352
when you're fucking nearly dying every day
353
and it just annoyed me like a bit of gold chasing fine
354
but that much gold chasing no don't give a fuck I like sterling point
355
because it was like there was a theme like that there was a plot
356
there was a plot to like keep shit moving
357
but it wasn't like that important I feel like it was mostly just enjoyable to watch
358
because of the dialogue being as good as it was
359
and like the characters being as enjoyable as they were it got me thinking about like friendship groups in general
360
and like how nice it was that like she fit into the their like circle
361
and their like social world so quickly and like
362
that is something I have never really experienced in my life
363
ever until I moved to LA I never was a friendship
364
group person like I always have had phases where I've had best friends
365
but I've never really been involved in a group even
366
if even if my best friend has been involved in a group I'm like not really in
367
that and I just have my best friend like I'm such a like one-on-one relationship person
368
and like yeah I don't know it used to kind of make me sad Loki
369
when I was at school like I was kind of very aware like I'm not part of this
370
but like not sad enough to like do anything about it
371
and like I don't know it just like didn't bug me that much
372
because I was always really happy to just have my best friend at least
373
and then when I moved to LA
374
that was well I had a friendship group low-key low-key stop saying
375
that I had a friendship group in sixth form which
376
if you're American is like senior year and what's the other one
377
that they save sophomore year
378
and senior year sophomore sophomore yeah oh fuck knows the last
379
two years school i had friends then like a friend group
380
but that until i moved to la like
381
that was the last time i really had that
382
when i got to new york i was like i don't really have anyone
383
that i know to introduce me to people i have found
384
it really nice meeting normal people here we're here to meet
385
i feel like there's no one normal in la there's no one fucking normal
386
that you can meet in la even
387
if they're normal now like they're not going to be normal
388
at some point like i don't know how else to explain it like everyone is there with a dream
389
and a dollar some of them a dream and no dollar
390
and that's great but it can lead people to do bizarre things
391
and like that scares me it scares me
392
so I try not to get involved
393
but yeah I had friends in LA I definitely felt like I was part of a big group
394
but um I've never had a group that is super tight
395
if that makes sense like that's never been a thing
396
that I've had and even in LA it wasn't like
397
that it was like I always knew where the parties were
398
I always knew what was going on in the evening but like Like, did I have a group of people to like do shit with during the day or like text all day?
399
No. Did I?
400
No, not really.
401
So I read this article called The Friend Group Fallacy.
402
And it's basically talking about how loneliness is cited from loneliness
403
that is cited from people who feel like they lack a
404
friendship group is more representative of fear of missing out instead of a conclusion
405
that having only one-on-one friendships is unfulfilling which I think
406
when you really think about it is like such a basic idea like
407
when I have a circle of friends or a lot of people
408
that I know in a city those aren't fulfilling friendships they're just good time friendships
409
and those are only enjoyable to me
410
if I know I have at least one real friend
411
and I felt this a lot in LA
412
because I had Toa living with me the whole time
413
and she is my best friend like I love her to pieces
414
and she is like a little home to me like I just
415
I trust her and I love her and we have real conversations and we're honest with each other
416
most of the time and like she's a real friend
417
and she's a friend who has been there for me in times of crisis in times of joy
418
and vice versa me with her and so like that's a real friendship
419
that now like has such a true like there's
420
so much evidence for me that like that friendship can
421
that friendship can withstand a lot of things
422
because there's a lot of love and there's a lot of grounds for
423
that to be the case
424
and it allowed me to like it allowed me to indulge in a lot more surface level friendships
425
that were more based in like going out drinking doing more experiential things with people
426
that I didn't necessarily trust to the highest degree like I'm
427
not telling them my secrets I'm not confiding in them
428
because maybe I don't respect their fucking perspective enough to seek advice from them
429
but I enjoy going out with them
430
or maybe I don't feel like they would have the time for me to vent to them
431
or tell them what I'm going through or if I'm you know
432
but like they exist in a different way in my life
433
and I enjoyed those friendships a lot because the things
434
that they lacked didn't feel like they were lacking in the rest of my life does
435
that make sense like I didn't need those things from those people
436
because not only did I have Toa but I have Millie
437
but what I thought was interesting about my relationship with T
438
and my almost overexposure when I was in LA to people
439
that I didn't necessarily like entirely or trust entirely
440
or think were like candidates for a lifetime long friendship but still found so much enjoyment in their company was
441
because I had so much goodness in my true friendships
442
which allowed me to then go out
443
and just experience a lot of other people
444
and really enjoy those other people for what they were
445
and not have to hope for them to be anything else
446
or try and make them out to be anything else or
447
forge a closeness that shouldn't be there or wasn't there like
448
because I wasn't afraid of what they lacked in my life
449
because I had it in a couple of other places
450
and it didn't feel like I was lacking it having a friendship that's truly good
451
or multiple friendships that are truly good
452
allows you to go out further into the world
453
and learn almost like meet more people and interact with more people
454
and have more friends in a way because the less
455
that you need from people or the less
456
that you hope to find certain things in certain people the
457
more you're willing to take someone exactly as they are in front of you.
458
And that allows you to enjoy them in a lot less of a hopeful way.
459
And they're in a more honest way, in my opinion.
460
Like, it didn't scare me that this person that I was hanging out with on a Saturday night, or these people that I was hanging out with on a Saturday night,
461
were not the funniest people I'd ever met in my life.
462
But they were always up for a really good time
463
because I didn't need to meet the funniest people I'd ever met in my life
464
because I had one at home you know like it kind
465
of just opens you up to like almost receiving more goodness
466
if that makes any fucking sense like I genuinely don't know
467
if what I'm saying is making any sense
468
but versus a relationship where like there's meant to be only one of those people in your life right
469
and I'm not about to start preaching polyamory I promise there
470
was a phase in my life where like I low-key considered it no
471
so that's like an interesting difference for me is like we prize relationships romantic ones above friendships
472
but it's like to me a friendship is more expansive encourages me to do more be more
473
and see more experience more feel more I feel safer in them
474
and when I'm in a romantic relationship now granted I don't have the best experience picking healthy partners
475
or like being in a good relationship but like come on
476
but like even so the expectation would be
477
that normally you'd only have one of them right
478
and like they should satisfy you completely in that department
479
and I get it and I that is I think what I want eventually
480
but like I don't know something about that bugs me I think I'd just rather be alone
481
anyway the article also says that the average number of close friends a person has is quote
482
very conspicuously five and they say that that's
483
because Dunbar an evolutionary psychologist says
484
that it's his theory on the number of relationships a person
485
can keep up given the size of a human brain now obviously that's just a theory
486
but whatever now to say that you can keep up about five close friendships
487
or relationships is interesting because I don't know if that includes family
488
but like that's a couple of close friends some family
489
and maybe a relationship like five isn't a big number at all
490
but yeah I think like the concept of a friendship group is important to me
491
but it's also so alien to me
492
because it's something I've never found to be pressing
493
or important in my life before like I've always wanted a best friend
494
and there's been little phases in my life where I've not had
495
that person like I went through a phase when I was like
496
13 before I met Millie where I had fallen out really badly with my previous best friend
497
and I didn't have anyone maybe I fell out with her
498
when I was like 12 I don't know
499
but I went through a phase where I did not have a best friend
500
and I remember being so sad about that
501
when I stopped being best friends with this one girl
502
when I was like 12 or 13 I remember
503
that was like one of the biggest losses I had ever felt in my life like I grieved
504
that so hard and I it was my fault actually for the most part
505
that we stopped being friends because I sent her this really shitty text message
506
and it was like essentially I won't like indulge you guys
507
in the whole beef there was no beef well to me there was
508
but like basically she had decided to stop going to school not decided Her parents had decided to homeschool, see, I'm still mad.
509
Her parents decided to homeschool her.
510
And she was like my best, best friend at school.
511
I'm like my only friend at school.
512
We kind of had a little friend group at school, but I didn't really like these other girls that we were friends with.
513
And I was, by the way, so valid.
514
I think back to that all the time.
515
And I'm like, God, I'm glad I had good taste.
516
And I was so upset with her for becoming homeschooled because I was like, what the fuck am I gonna do?
517
Like, you're literally abandoning me with these girls.
518
Like, I can't believe it
519
and I sent her such a shitty text basically being like you're a bitch
520
because you hate school
521
and your parents are way too nice to you to homeschool you like I was
522
so in the wrong that was so in the wrong
523
and yeah she cut me off and low-key she had every fucking right to
524
because the way I worded that was fucking crazy like I don't remember it
525
but I just know even as I was typing it I
526
was like this is crazy this is crazy this is crazy I'm being crazy
527
and she cut me off
528
and we did not speak again for like at least a year
529
and then we became friends again and we're friends to this day
530
and actually she's getting married soon and she invited me to her wedding
531
and I'm really excited but we've never really been like best friends again we were inseparable before
532
that completely and well we were completely inseparable before that
533
and it never went back to that and then
534
that was like a huge part of my growing up was losing her as a friend
535
and it literally being my fault
536
and then subsequently just not having a real best friend for years
537
or was it for years no it must have been
538
when the fuck did i meet millie i don't know
539
but like millie was an internet friend for a long time
540
so that's why me
541
and millie have never lived near each other she was always
542
an internet friend we met on sabrina carpenter stan twitter in 2014
543
or some shit and now as adults we get to see each other a lot more
544
but as kids we didn't get to see each other we
545
would travel on train she lived in sheffield wait this is
546
so boring no one gives a fuck anyway love millie but
547
yeah not having a best friend has always been like
548
that shit does not sit well with me
549
because i never am part of a friend group
550
but yeah now being in new york i'm like finding
551
that the idea of being part of a friend group is way more important to me
552
because i feel like i am
553
so lucky in such a rare way to have the true friends
554
that i have in my life like i genuinely sometimes I look at my life
555
and I for just the friendships I have in it alone
556
like god forget all the other incredible stuff like I feel
557
so lucky that I have the friends
558
that I have like I love them to my bones
559
and I am honored that they pick me to be their friend
560
because they are people that I think so highly of
561
and I think that's really important
562
when you have a friendship too is to be like god I'm
563
so honored that you fucking like me like to truly love someone
564
so much and just to be
565
so to have such good feelings toward who they are as a person
566
that just the fact that they even want to be your friend is exciting in
567
and of itself like that's how I feel about my friends I cannot fucking believe
568
that I have the friends
569
that I have in this life like I am grateful for
570
them beyond what I even know how to put into words
571
and I've tried and like I love them and so now
572
that I'm in New York there's not an aching for a
573
close relationship for me here I would like one like
574
if another wonderful person walked into my life I'm not gonna
575
fucking turn them away like no I'm full I'm busy I'm booked
576
but like it's not something that I feel like I need
577
but I would like more friends
578
because I want to go out at the weekend I want
579
to have fun I want to be part of something I
580
want to know what's fucking going on outside of my apartment I want people to like gossip with
581
and talk with and experience a new city with like I want people in my life
582
and because I'm not specifically searching for like
583
because I don't feel like a super close one-on-one friendship necessarily needs to be part of my experience here
584
if that makes sense like I'm welcoming it
585
if it walks into my life but I'm not feeling like I need
586
that and so my thoughts around friendship
587
when I'm thinking like I want to make friends I am
588
thinking for the first time in my life like I want to be part of a group
589
and that to me is easier to establish than to find a super close friend
590
I think the reason it can feel harder to establish friendships like everyone says it's harder in your 20s
591
and also in your 30s like I think number one a big part of
592
that reason is just first of all meeting people
593
but then the second part is also like I am
594
so much more aware of what I want
595
or will not accept in someone who is around me in
596
a close way right to the highest degree I've ever been aware
597
and I only expect that to increase
598
and I'm also getting better at not being judgmental to all other people and it But it's like this difference in like,
599
I, it's more, it's easier now than ever for me to look at someone else and say, no, because I don't like the way you move.
600
There's so many, I'm so much more aware of who's around me than I ever have been in my life.
601
And it matters more to me now than I think it ever has before, because I look at other people and I look at who they choose to have around them.
602
And I see how it affects them.
603
And I think there's a lot of people who maybe just accept friendships for the sake of friendship
604
because it's hard to come by and because that's just something people need in life is company, companionship, friendship, people to fucking talk to.
605
and I understand not everyone is able to like say no to a friendship just
606
because one thing about the person isn't maybe their favorite thing about
607
that person and maybe it doesn't matter as much to some people
608
but sometimes I look at people who have a lot of let's say funny business in their friendships
609
and I think you might think it doesn't affect you
610
because you know that's something about that person that you don't agree with
611
or love about them maybe but you accept them anyway
612
and that's fine that's a good part that's a good skill to have it's an important part of life
613
but when you consistently have
614
that with a lot of people around you it does rub off like it does
615
and like birds of a feather do actually flock together
616
that I there's I've never seen proof for that to not be true
617
and sometimes when someone approaches me and tries to form a friendship or some kind of alliance with me
618
and maybe there's things I don't, maybe there's a lot of things I don't like about that person enough that I will not welcome really that friendship.
619
I also have to ask myself, like, why did they want to be my friend?
620
Because this is something I've observed mostly through critiquing other people in my life of being like, God, you've got crazy people around you.
621
Like, why the fuck?
622
Number one, why do you accept them?
623
Number two, why do they see you as a friend?
624
Like there's something here that they are drawn to about you and that you are drawn to about them.
625
And I think figuring out what
626
that thing is can help people help me a lot in understanding
627
if a friendship is right or not or if people are right for you or not.
628
I had this really interesting conversation with my mom on the
629
phone last week where one of her friends had said to her, like, God, you just attract these chaotic people.
630
and my mum had been annoyed by that statement and
631
so she had like thought about it
632
and then she said to me on the phone she was like I thought about it
633
and I don't attract chaotic people I accept chaotic people
634
and I was like this is some shit I've been fucking
635
saying here's what I think right I think we all meet
636
all manners of people the good the bad the ugly the crazy all the fucking time
637
right and certain people will meet crazy this is what my mom said she said certain people will meet crazy
638
or see like meet someone with chaos about them
639
and walk the other direction because it doesn't it's not interesting to them
640
and other people like my mom she was like I'll meet someone with chaos about them
641
and I like it like it's not that I like it but it feels so familiar to me
642
and it feels but I can handle that and they're interesting
643
and whatever and it might not even be a direct like attraction to it
644
but it's not you aren't repulsed by it for whatever reason like we talked about how it could be
645
because that's what you grew up in if you grew up in chaos
646
and or if you just have had chaotic relationships throughout your life
647
or if you are a chaotic person certain people don't feel as shocking to you
648
and then you're accepting these people in your life you're resonating with them they're resonating with you
649
and all of a sudden you keep having these chaotic friendships without really meaning to
650
and it's important to become aware of like I don't attract these things they're not
651
but they're not I don't walk away from them I think
652
because the idea that you attract things unless you are intending to
653
and manifesting it in the mirror like that's a very helpless
654
thing to say the goal they're attracted to me they magnetize to me I I don't, they're always finding me.
655
And it's like, no, everyone's always finding everyone.
656
Do you know how many people I meet in a day?
657
Do you know how many people meet other people in a day
658
that they've never met before and don't form friendships with them and don't get to know them and don't, you know what I mean?
659
Like, it's not about what you find in the world.
660
It's about more what you keep and what you indulge in
661
and that gives you a lot more agency once you realize
662
that to be like okay so why am I constantly getting into these chaotic friendships
663
or chaotic relationships or why do all my friends have these bad traits
664
that I don't think I have and it's like maybe you fucking do have
665
that bad trait and that's something I had to like look at myself
666
and wonder not long ago was like why do these people feel
667
why why do these people feel comfortable around me
668
because I don't like the things
669
that they're doing I don't really like things they're saying like why do they feel uncomfortable around me
670
and to really ask yourself like what is the thing we are sharing in common you know like that's
671
and it's not even like a harsh question it's just like
672
once you realize it you can be like okay well next time I'm gonna look for that
673
and be like no no no no I'm making the active choice to not indulge in people who feel crazy
674
and I actually I've had this harsh realization recently I've always said I met I meet I've always said
675
that I have these experiences in life where I will meet certain people
676
and it's usually people in a romantic context
677
but it's happened to me with friends as well
678
but I'll meet them and they instantly feel like someone I know
679
and for a while when I was a bit younger I would say I think
680
that they're my soulmate or I know them in another life or something
681
and I think we can have a lot of soulmates by
682
the way I'm not saying it like they're my soulmate it's like I just think
683
that our souls know each other maybe I believe in
684
that stuff and that's really the line I ran with for a long time
685
and while I don't completely discredit that maybe that feeling could exist
686
and it could be a soulmate I think
687
that the maybe closer to the reality of it truth is is
688
that whatever chaos I embody whatever beliefs I hold about myself
689
that aren't necessarily the good ones I think those are the things that I somehow know we have in common
690
and it makes them feel so familiar to me
691
that they feel like if I want to romanticize it they feel like home
692
and they feel familiar and that in a world where you meet
693
so many fucking people all the time so many random fucking weirdos
694
so many people that are scary that you can't trust
695
that you don't like that have weird intentions when you finally meet someone
696
that feels a bit like home you're like oh you're staying
697
because you feel like safe to me but
698
that safety the most important realization I've had in my life I think today is
699
that that safety that you feel upon meeting someone
700
that familiarity might not be a good thing
701
because it might just be familiar
702
but not everything that's familiar is going to be good
703
because there are things that we I'm sure all grew up with
704
that we don't want to continue in our lives
705
and there are things that experiences we've had
706
or feelings we've embodied for such a long time beliefs feelings whatever
707
that another person can carry and that can make them feel
708
so familiar without you even fully understanding specifically what it is
709
and to me now that feeling that i used to almost hope for with finding people in the world
710
where they would feel familiar and feel safe to me i now realize like just feeling
711
that and just seeing it in another person is not enough for me to have any belief
712
that there's something good happening there like it might be
713
but investigate the feeling because now the more i look back now
714
that i've kind of had this like small realization the more
715
i look back at the specific people who i can think of
716
that felt like that to me like these sometimes i meet a person
717
and i'm like i'm going to know you i'm gonna know
718
you in some way you're gonna be in my life don't know
719
when don't don't know how
720
but i know you i feel like i already know you
721
you feel familiar you almost feel like a family member i
722
don't know i'm gonna fucking there it is bitch you feel like a family member
723
and as much as my family is spectacular
724
and i love them everyone has probably grown up in situations where hey let's not keep doing that like
725
and that's part of life like i don't ever want to shit on my parents especially not on a podcast
726
but like they are still human beings
727
and the point of i I think having generations
728
and learning from the generations above you is
729
that not everyone in my lineage has been perfect or perfectly raised or been as privileged as I have been.
730
And so that trickles down
731
and hopefully the bad stuff gets more diluted as we become more conscious
732
and more privileged and have more time and space to heal certain things.
733
And then that trickles down and then it comes to me
734
and I look at certain things from my childhood and I say, everyone did the best they could but I'm going to do the best I can do, which is now something new.
735
And it's not to say that I'm a better fucking person.
736
It's just like, that's how life works.
737
And so I don't think
738
that you need to be someone who had a horrible fucking childhood or big things that you can say, I'm never going to do that to my kids, or I'm never going to do that to myself when I grow up,
739
or I'm, this is a cycle, I'm not going to continue.
740
It can come in so many different ways.
741
And I think it's just like, yeah, I think it's important to look at it now and it's interesting
742
that my mum like and me had that conversation it's interesting
743
that my mum and I had that conversation
744
because it's something I've been thinking about for ages of like
745
I don't attract more of one type of person into my space than anyone else it's just
746
that all types of people enter my space all the time
747
and there are certain types of people that I resonate with
748
and that resonate with me and then we develop a friendship
749
or a relationship and so by being more aware of why certain people resonate with me
750
or why I resonate with certain people then I can stop attracting friendships with these people
751
and I could fucking be free like
752
or stop attracting relationships with these kinds of people
753
and it's as much about what's wrong with this person as
754
what's wrong with me like it's not to say like it's it's it's
755
so much nicer to realize
756
that it's something with me as well as well as like what's what's funky about this other person
757
that I've just met because it gives you so much more agency
758
and it's like it's truly such a neutral thing
759
when you look at it like that like it's not like it's just information
760
and it's so valuable and so I've just kind of been thinking about
761
that kind of stuff a lot when it comes to being in a new place
762
and like wanting this friendship group and like even just fucking watching sterling point
763
and being like god like that's nice like what a nice thing to have people
764
that you see all the time that you talk to
765
that all know each other that all get along for the most part
766
and like how do I go about obtaining
767
that now as someone who is more picky than ever
768
but also trying to make better choices
769
and empower myself to make better choices with the people
770
that I have around me by knowing more about myself not about the other people does
771
that make sense and like I think there's
772
so much less weight on a friendship group like my closest friends are people
773
that I am not critical of
774
but like I pay attention to who they are as people
775
right like not in a way where I'm like judging them
776
or needing them to be anything they're not
777
but it's just like I don't want to be friends with someone that's a bad person obviously
778
so like I I know who they are I love them in spite of some of their less admirable qualities
779
because that's what friendship is about i make the choice to love them
780
because i know them and i think that that is something
781
that is important to be able to do as well like i remember i used to have this friend
782
and this bugged me
783
so much about her where a few of her close friendships had really big faults like big faults
784
and like it was the people
785
that she was around like there were certain things about them that like needed to be acknowledged
786
like these people had some serious flaws and like they weren't even
787
that big if you would just fucking acknowledge them
788
and stop acting like they weren't there like why will you not just acknowledge like it's not really okay
789
when this person does this like it's not that hard
790
and this friend of mine could not do it like she would get
791
so upset with me when I would bring it up
792
and I remember thinking like are you there's almost like a fear there of like you can't love them
793
if you acknowledge that they're not perfect and that upset me
794
and it was the eventual downfall of our friendship as well
795
because I was like presumably you do the same with me
796
and like I don't want to be around someone who doesn't think they have the ability to love me
797
when they see the sides of me that aren't nice
798
or aren't perfect like I'm not perfect and I will never be
799
and I want to be around people who like me enough to also love me
800
when I'm not perfect and to see me fully
801
and have the ability to see me fully and to still love me
802
because that's like how I value my friends is to be like yeah like they're not perfect
803
but I love them because they don't have to be perfect
804
and obviously it just you know what you can tolerate in
805
terms of someone someone's shadow i guess in terms of someone's darker sides
806
and how much you can tolerate or what you can tolerate
807
but to be able to tolerate is important for real friendships
808
and and not just tolerate but love regardless like love
809
because of the faults love with the faults love encompassing not like around the faults
810
or do you know what i mean like does this make sense anyway I think
811
that hold on oh my god it's 5 30 I need to stop drinking coffee I'm putting that away
812
but I'm not gonna fucking sleep tonight oh well
813
but I guess it's it makes it more hard to fucking make friendships in your 20s
814
because there just has to be a certain level of surrender
815
but also this level of like I'm still not betraying any of my values
816
or spending time around people who are going to rub off on me in a way
817
that I don't want them to but I also want to enjoy being around them
818
but I'm not looking for friendships that are so perfect
819
that are going to be impossible to find because I do need company
820
and I do need experiences and I do need people to experience things with
821
and like I need friends
822
but there has to be this balance of like yeah do
823
you know what I mean I think it's a lot easier to have
824
that balance when you have a few truly solid friendships
825
or relationships in your life and that's why
826
but yeah I don't know it's hard friendships really confuse me and
827
because I'm chronically at this point I feel like I get
828
the privileges of saying chronically single like come on I think
829
it's fair I've been single for two years now come on
830
because I am single I'm not really seeking a relationship unless
831
it's the right person like I'm not running away from relationships it's just
832
that like we'll only indulge in one if if there's a person
833
that I want to be in one with it's not like
834
I'm not actively trying to find someone to date does
835
that make sense like not against it it's just
836
that it's not something I'm seeking wait what was my point
837
where I was like guys I have to pee again I'm
838
so sorry I did this last episode I'm gonna piss myself
839
just give me like five not five minutes give me oh
840
my god wait this episode is 50 minutes long I can end it
841
and pee okay I don't know what I've really talked about this episode other than friendships
842
and like what I think about them but yeah okay I'm gonna go
843
and I'm so excited because I'm gonna be able to turn on my AC again
844
because I can't roll it during filming
845
because their fucking mic picks it up stupid stupid stupid
846
so I'm gonna go I'm gonna go I'm gonna go whoa
847
I'm gonna go I'm gonna pee I'm gonna turn on my AC that rhymes
848
and that's it for me this week next week we'll talk
849
about something a bit more interesting sorry I feel like this episode was
850
so fucking boring boring boring boring boring
851
and you know what is funny I do have therapy later
852
and so how many hours will I have talked about myself non-stop for today
853
many of them oh so many hours what's that like fucking three
854
or four hours of me talking about me genuinely might go to therapy
855
and ask her what she's been up to this week hey
856
fuck it last week i low-key talked shit about a bunch of people
857
that i barely know
858
because i was like i can't tell anyone this tea for
859
i just got back from la i was like i can't tell anyone this like literally can't tell anyone this
860
but like i can tell you because you've signed a confidentiality agreement so
861
and then I talked to her ear off about things
862
that don't matter and have nothing to do with me
863
and she was like I wonder why you're feeling the urge to tell me this
864
because it's juicy
865
and I had to get it off my chest what the
866
fuck anyway anyway wish me luck at therapy wish my therapist good luck at therapy love you
867
so much have a good week have a good night have a good day love you
868
so much you're so special never forget it okay goodbye I have to pee I have to pee

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
