"she likes brunch! success!"

i ran into my heroic downstairs neighbor outside our apartments today. she said the new girlfriend also drinks coffee, makes plans, and likes to go out to nice dinners. i was like “omg, you are having a real grownup relationship!” the girlfriend also has a feminist reproductive rights job. i told my neighbor that it’s nice to see her so happy and she told me that i look “much” better and “maybe it was just finals or something” and i said it was not finals. then we made plans to get brunch ourselves and to drink both coffee and alcohol and not be judged. then i walked over to target to buy new sheets and a duvet cover to increase the pleasure of studying in bed and a new lamp for the other room to trick myself into sometimes sitting on the couch. 

so my neighbor and i became friends when we were both going through breakups at the same time
