A few Standouts from last visit

Dahlak Ethiopian Bar in Cedar Park - The food is delicious and they have live music, DJs/Dance parties, and karaoke on the weekends. Also hookah deals if you’re looking. Cafe La Maude - A French and Lebanese Restaurant with great brunch and it’s BYOB Honey’s Sit and Eat was also great breakfast. Probably an obvious one but me and my friends really liked the Magic Gardens. They're gorgeous and it felt immersive/interactive. The Please Touch Museum was also fun for this reason. Also there’s a Barcade in Fishtown/North Philadelphia that was really fun. We stayed there for so long after happy hour. The games were great and they had a great beer selection and it just felt very…classic.

LETTING THINGS BE COMPLICATED

I don’t need to label everything or figure everything out! I can have complex relationships and contradicting feelings! I contain multitudes and I have plenty of time!
