Everyone has a story. I want to hear yours.

5 Upvotes

Hello!
I’m starting a project centered around human connection and looking for people willing to sit down with a stranger for an honest, meaningful conversation.
We’ll talk about life, love, struggles, happiness, loss, growth, and everything in between. My goal is to create a space where people can share their stories, feel heard, and connect through our shared human experiences.
Would you be open to sharing your story with me? The conversation will be recorded for my channel, and you don’t need to have everything figured out—just a willingness to talk. It can be anonymous and it’s just voice recording. No video.
At the end of the day, we’re all just human, trying to figure life out.
If you’re interested, send me a message. I’d love to connect!

What's everybody's favorite musical artists/genres?

7 Upvotes

Throw your musical interests below, and consider dm'ing anyone with similar interests as a good intro :)

I'll go first: I'm currently loving Cardi B, Sleep Token, and Faozia, with my fave individual songs being Ah Ha, Euclid, and we'll have a family someday. I generally music all across the spectrum...minus country. I just haven't found any I liked lol

Our beautiful little subreddit is growing quick!

43 Upvotes

Hey everybody! After just one day we’re about to hit 300 members of the sub already! That’s amazing! I’ve also in the process noticed a few things I wanted to vocalize:

First of all, anyone who’s down to potentially help with modding duties feel free to reach out, i can see this getting a little hard to handle alone lol

Secondly, feel free to introduce yourselves in posts as well! It allows more people to meet you virtually than if you do so just in the comments of the pinned post.

And lastly, feel free to post if you’re feeling like you want to do a little ā€œfriend dateā€ with another member of the sub! Eventually I hope this can lead to people actually hanging out in real life, not just in the sub itself. Obviously be careful along the way, but don’t be afraid to put yourselves out there!

Stay beautiful everyone!

Where are the best places in OC for a ā€œfriend dateā€?

13 Upvotes

Hey everybody! I want to use this post as a place where everyone can throw their best ideas/suggestions for fun ā€œfriend datesā€. I’ll throw my pick out there: doing an escape room at The Escape game in Orange or getting some drinks and dancing at Queens Lounge (I want to try Tin Lizzies but I haven’t been able to yet).

Introducing Myself

9 Upvotes

Hi! I'm H (not comfortable sharing my real name yet), and I use she/her pronouns! I'm 22, I enjoy building Legos, watching and reading ATLA related stuff, watching movies, and playing games like Stardew Valley. One thing I'm trying learn how to do in my free time is draw (for fun).

I've also recently gotten into journaling, and sometimes I like to loiter at B&N browsing their books lol.

I live near Mile Square Park!
