How to meet people or things do as a 20 yo

Hi!! I’m in Tucson for a few months for an internship and I was wondering how to meet people or what are things to do as a 20 year old ? Lowkey not being 21 yet is limiting me a bit I think and I’m not really used to it. I’d appreciate any suggestions!!

Halfway gone/

29f first time poster. I recently had my entire world flipped upside down. Finding it even harder to make it through each day. I loathe the "man" that caused my downfall. I wish the absolute worst upon him... And he's out living his life like nothing happened. I absolutely hate his guts and regret ever meeting him. Over 10 years of my life wasted. How do I pick up the pieces from here? Idk but I'll figure it out... Honestly right now just need someone to chat with every now and then. No flirting pls keep it clean. Help me distract myself from my own thoughts. Let's help each other through whatever pains we may have..

I think I missed something

This is probably cringe, but whatever. It's been living in my head for years, so here goes.

I think we knew each other around 2010-2012 in Tucson. Honestly, it all kind of blurs together now, so if I have the years wrong, that's on me.

Your name was a three letter name that starts with A and ends with Y

You were dating a friend of mine back then, and I had the biggest crush on you. I never told anybody because... well... what kind of friend does that? Plus I wasn't exactly Mr. Confidence. I was awkward as hell around women and probably looked like I was trying not to make eye contact every time you were around.

I always thought you were ridiculously attractive, but it wasn't just that. You had this tough-girl vibe where you looked like you didn't need anybody's approval. You weren't loud about it. You just had this attitude that made it seem like you could handle yourself, and I thought that was the coolest thing ever.

Then you and my buddy broke up.

I remember thinking, "Well... maybe this is my chance."

Except I did what I always did back then. I overthought everything.

I'd think about messaging you, then convince myself it would be weird. Then I'd decide it wasn't weird. Then I'd wait another week. Repeat that about a hundred times.

By the time I finally got enough courage to actually look you up, you were already with another guy.

I remember being irrationally pissed off about it, not at you, just at myself. Like I had somehow missed the bus because I spent too much time standing at the stop wondering if I should get on.

Life moved on. I'm sure yours did too.

Every once in a while, though, you'll randomly pop into my head. Usually something stupid triggers it, like hearing a song from that time or driving through part of Tucson that reminds me of those years.

Every now and then I'll look you up on Facebook just to see how life's been treating you. Lately it got harder to find your profile, and I noticed your last name changed again.

The first thing that popped into my head was, "Wait... did she get divorced?"

Then immediately after that I caught myself thinking, "Maybe this is finally my shot."

Which is honestly kind of pathetic to admit out loud.

We weren't secretly in love. We never had some almost-relationship. You probably had no clue I was into you at all. We were just two people who happened to know each other because of mutual friends.

Still... I wonder sometimes what would've happened if I'd just grown a pair back then instead of spending months talking myself out of saying hello.

Maybe you'd have laughed.

Maybe you'd have said no.

Maybe we'd have gone on one date and realized we had nothing in common.

Or maybe it would've been something.

I'll never know because I never gave either of us the chance.

So if, by some one-in-a-billion coincidence, you ever read this and remember the awkward guy who was always hanging around with your boyfriend's friends...

Hi.

I hope life's been good to you.

And if it hasn't... well... I'd still buy you a couple drinks and a nice dinner and listen to how things have been.

Boycott The Loft Cinema Tucson

&#x200B;

On January 21st 2026 the Tucson Pride Association announced that they were closing their doors and canceling the 50th annual Tucson Pride on February 21st 2026. This was a 50-year tradition in Tucson and the corporate board just put out an announcement saying pride is canceled.

Within 10 minutes big papa Hundo publicly issued the announcement that hot no you cannot cancel pride and that he was going to spend the next 30 days working around the clock to ensure that Tucson still had a free public Pride celebration so that the 50-year tradition in Tucson arizona, the third oldest Pride Association in the United states, and something that the queer community what's incredibly proud of would not be canceled. 

Hundo conducted a free event for February 21st 2026 and even though he is located in Humboldt county, he traveled by car all the way down to his birthplace of Tucson Arizona at his own personal expense and implemented and participated in the first annual Tucson pop-up Pride to be the 50th annual Tucson Pride.

Hundo had just finished his still alive in 25 tour where he regularly wore the Loft Cinema Pride themed shirt believing that the lock Cinema Tucson was an lgbtqia+ welcoming and inclusive establishment as they claimed to be. They published his videos on their website advertising their brand with no compensation.

 Loft Cinema Tucson did something totally shocking that hurt the queer community and the community deserves to know. 

Hundo reached out to The Loft theater in January of 2026, being a dues paying member and having done free promotional work for their brand across the United States specifically highlighting their lgbtq friendly marketing, told them about the pop-up pride and said he would be in town for an entire week and that he would volunteer to speak for free about the pop-up Pride, and that he would love it if they would consider screening Saint Misbehavin the Wavy Gravy movie. They didn't even answer him by phone or text they simply hung up on him when he identified himself when he called and blocked him on instagram and 30 days later on Facebook. He has been calling them and writing them ever since and they simply hang up the phone on him.

He is unable to use his membership and has been unable to since January though he's a dues paying member. They will not even discuss a refund they won't even have a conversation. They probably don't even know that Tucson pop up Pride happened on February 21st 2026 because they were so busy hiding behind their block buttons and doing exactly what they said they were not going to do. 

In 2025 The Loft Cinema Tucson issued an apology to the community saying that they had failed to listen to the voices of the community. 

In 2026 The Loft Cinema Tucson managed to not have to listen to the voices of their Community by simply blocking and ignoring their community. 

Boycott The Loft Cinema tucson. 

Now let me just tell you that we did have a screening of saint Misbehavin the Wavy Gravy movie at the Presidio theater in San Francisco and Wavy Gravy himself along with Michelle esrick the filmmaker were there. 

Saving a 50-year-old Pride tradition in Tucson Arizona and being heroes in the story by screening Saint Misbehavin likely would have seen the MC of Woodstock himself and the filmmaker herself attend in Tucson at The Loft Cinema, celebrating the community's resilience in not allowing the 50-year-old's pride tradition to die because of corporate nonsense, but you see their priorities were in a different place. 

The loft Cinema Tucson was busy doing fundraisers for their million dollar luxury patio with luxury loungers and they were so busy trying to get money for luxury loungers that they literally turned their back on their queer community. 

A simple yes or no would have been fine. But zero conversation, blocking a dues paying member on Instagram, refusing to have any conversation whatsoever for 30 days and then blocking that same dues paying member on Facebook is just corporate cowardice. 

All they needed to say was we know about it and we really don't care what happens to the queer Community or we know about it and we'll spread the message or we don't want to screen that film at this time or hey that's a great idea but literally just hiding behind a block button and hanging up the phone every time I identify myself is disgusting. 

When I wore your shirt at Madison Square Garden and all over my tour I never in a million years would have suspected that you were actually an organization that does not value your community and does not value communication. 

I call upon the people of Tucson Arizona to boycott The Loft Cinema, to demand a public mea culpa apology directly to Hundo, and to recognize that selling queer themed merchandise while your city's Pride literally has been canceled and you don't make any effort whatsoever to help your community is actually predatory sick wrong and we see it and we don't like it.
