Also live in Atlanta. Also have the same anxiety so I be at the house with my dog. Good for you for trying to get out there though! That is a huge and intentional step many of us are not ready to take!
I'm definitely using the new city momentum to push me out, I'll prob be back inside with my dog by next week 😂 Good to know you're here also! One of these days I'll get the gumption to plan a lowkey meetup
Making friends is so hard as an adult. My secret weapon is: graphic t-shirts. I have a bunch all with my favorite things! Comic books favs, to anime I love, or video game references! I have made 4 of my bestest friends just by wearing a graphic tee. They came to me to start a conversation! I didn't have to do anything except get dressed! We already knew we had something in common so it was so easy to keep the conversation going. Idk if this would be something you'd be comfortable with or maybe you already do this, but I just wanted to share what worked in my case and hopefully it'll help you or someone else reading this comment :) good luck out there in your new neighborhood!
It works the other way, too! If you see someone wearing a T with something you like, just say "Hey! Nice shirt!" and see where the conversation goes! At the very least you've made someone happy by complimenting them! Good luck! I believe in you!
Love this Jacque and those are some great questions Homie!
Keep us updated on your tour guides though. I think exploring the people you meet through that would be interesting. Like what their answers to your questions are, where they show you, interesting and unique moments travelling around a new city with.
Really, really exciting.
Also,
Last film I genuinely enjoyed and connected with was Entergalactic.
Top tier film. Black Love throughout. Funny and dreamy. Accepting how you feel about someone, communicating honestly and being comfortable with that somewhat uncomfortable feeling of leaving your heart open.
I think I may have to nip that part of my journey here in the bud because it's been getting weird with some men on there who know about this newsletter haha

This is so genius! I tried it the other day haha I failed to talk to anyone 😂 but I've got other tees and I'll keep trying 💞
