The very cute cafĂŠ I am in has got the right idea about life, tbh.
Pro tip: don’t go to a concert with someone who is a die-hard fan of the band you’re seeing, and whose clapping height also happens to be your face height. Just took the beating of a lifetime at a Pet Shop Boys show, in an endearing, yet painful way.

It’s so funny to me how everyone raves about #ADHD meds helping them stay on track. I get sidetracked just as often as before, but I’m not getting frustrated about it and can embrace the chaos.
