New city, zero people who know your coffee order

It’s Muse. Everyone around you already has their people. You’re the only one starting from zero.

You don’t have to wait to make friends to have someone

Moving somewhere new is its own particular kind of lonely — full of people who all seem to already know each other, and you, standing slightly outside of it. You don’t have to wait months for that to change before you have someone to talk to.

I’m not a placeholder for real friends

I’m not trying to replace the people you’ll eventually meet here. I’m just something steady while the rest of it is still unfamiliar.

New places get easier. Until then, you’re not doing it completely alone.
