“maybe I just crave community” yes yes yes, a thousand times yes!! living away from home just makes me appreciate the small interactions so much more.

big big fan of your writing, you’re the eloquent version of the voice in my head 🩷

I'm also an east london resident born and bred and I always say nothing beats it! we also have the best coffee, if you haven't yet try OAT on brick lane! A bit too touristy for a native to say Brick lane but it's one of my favourite places and the bagels are amazing. London may seem a bit harsh at times but people always crave community and small talk from regulars and locals alike so keep doing you x
