When I was in college, I studied English, but have since really not done anything with that degree. For years, I've made paper art. Recently, I got a Glowforge which allowed me to branch out and try to make new things as well as use my English degree. Meet the Millennimals. They're all very special.
This is Ryon
She’s a basic bunny. She is TikTok famous (but only ironically) and has an unnecessarily complicated Starbucks drink. She never uses filters (obviously) and is not like the other basic bunnies.
This is Diantha
Her name is Greek and means, 'divine flower', which she takes literally. Her IG bio is just the emojis 👑 🌱 and the quote: "She is like a wildflower; beautiful, fierce, and free."
She wears non-prescription wire-rim glasses, only buys Kanken bags and yellow Vans. She has a very specific diet that includes only eating orange foods on Tuesdays. She doesn't know how many plants lead to pure happiness, but so far, it's not 57.
This is Tobias
His restaurant, "Avocado Nope" employs a full-time pyrographer to burn the menu onto sheets of wood, which are later repurposed to plank their sustainably farmed organic salmon.
Their bar menu is written on a chalkboard in an elaborate script, detailing each of their cocktails, all made in-house and all named after French philosophers. The dining tables are all communal cafeteria-style seating and are adorned with tall glass bottles with German-style flip caps and a succulent. In his spare time, he polishes his collection of carbon steel knives, each with a beautiful patina, and enjoys taking care of his collection of sourdough yeast cultures.
This is Maxton
The Latin translation of his name means “greatest,” which he is (just ask him, all others are so pedestrian). He is a photographer in New York City. He wears a cap even when it’s not cold outside. He seeks to capture man’s true nature for he knows it’s more than throwing breadcrumbs at him in the park.
This is Branford
He’s a self-taught musician. He only drinks domestic gluten-free beers. He’s in a band that you’ve never heard of. They record their songs on cassette tapes “ironically.” When the band practices he holds up the rehearsals so he can tune by ear.
This is Journi
She just got back from a yoga retreat in India and a backpack expedition through Thailand. She has several tattoos, one that says "الأربعاء" (which means free spirit) and "麺" (which means Faith, Passion, Discipline). She cleanses her flat every week with crystals: amethyst to reduce stress, citrine for good luck, and quartz to keep her mind open and clear (just to name a few). She attends Coachella every year, where she wears her floral print kimono, Karen Walker tortoise shell-toned sunglasses, vintage Levi's high-waisted jean cutoff shorts, and a lot of turquoise and feathers.
Anyway, that's what I'm doing with my life. I guess you could say I'm hitting my 30s pretty hard.
