third ☕✨ tinder / moonlacing mingle!

[cadeuces]

( Ping! Your profile needs updating, there's hot singles in your area, it's a swipe frenzy— you all know the push updates with dating apps, right? Maybe your chroma's a little low after all that holiday shopping and it just sounds like it's worth a shot, or someone gets ahold of your device and "helps" you along. Upload some new selfies with that new Moonblessing of yours, drop in an About Me, and get to swiping!

And Please— someone please come up with a better name than Prismates because the moons alone make sure we're more than just mammals and no one's obligated to do it like they do on the Discovery Channel. We all know the drill by now, don't we? Swipe right or left, yes or no, mark yourself down to moonlace and flirt or just rile a friend up with a big red X— try to include an opening message! Happy Hump Day? )

If you want to learn a party trick, I suggest magic.
I can pick around 120 different kinds of locks and it's important for my job to have the skill.

Eh.
If you want to meet people, you have to put your best foot forward, right?
The difference here, is you can curate it to be only the positive to leave an impression.
Seeing something average isn't usually appealing.
Not that what I have to say on mine is particularly eye-catching, ha ha.

when i need to open a lock i usually just punch it off
that works for pretty much every kind of lock

anyway i don't know
i'd rather just be me
the good and the bad

i know a lot of people who don't really see me
they just dream up an idea of me and then decide to only see that
it really bugs me

i'd rather they not like me at all than just like the illusion of something i'm not

Not always possible for a lot of reasons, whether it's difficulty or needing to be inconspicuous.
Honestly. :/

Wouldn't we all just rather be ourselves?
If you want to get existential, though, save it for in person. Weird over text.
But if it bothers you, correct them.
Personally, I try not to judge.
Actions always speak louder than words, especially long-term.

Fair. I don't try to please anyone just for the sake of it. Life's too short to pull that shit. Rather be me and surround myself with people who like me for who I am.
Makes the relationships you do have all the more important, too.
