A Lana Del Ray and Father John Misty song, Let the Light In, has these beautiful lyrics, below. And yes, so much riding on how we find intimacy, I'm sure it's meant to be messy, confounding and inspiring.

Got my dress on tight 'cause you know that I

Look shinin' in the light, there's so much ridin'

On this life and how we write our love song

Great post.

I've whittled it down

1 Did you take the shot?

2 Do you watch tv?

3 Do you vote?

4 Do you eat poison?

Great piece. I haven’t done “the apps” as you call it since the first time and last time years ago, & happy for it. Maybe I’m naïve but there are so many creative & beautiful practices I’d rather spend time on 🌸

Jacinta could this jig-saw piece already be known to you? Someone who has already taken your measure and is quietly in the background awaiting a sideward glance? Someone understated, clever, DIY driven, unconventional and gluten tolerant? Remember most persons of interest are known to us … APP-parently.

In the meantime, why don’t you feast on your own excellent company. You could do a whole lot worse.

About ten years ago I was on Tinder. My tactic was to write the most bat shit bonkers profile. Post ridiculous pics of myself and generally take the whole thing as a joke. I did pretty well. Anyone who wants to meet you after that is going to be at least half way mad. Try that Nat. Be funny and take it very unseriously.

I hear this Jacinta. But the in person meetups are making a comeback!! I believe Crush Club in fitzroy is doing cute things. Goodspeed to us all though. x
