make a splash

If you know me, you might know that I’m super enthusiastic about dating apps.
If you know me a bit better, you might also know that I haven’t been swiping for over 5 months now.

I still receive notifications from Bumble and Tinder though – those nudges that they send you when you haven’t been back on the apps for a while.

I wouldn’t say that I wrote this piece – I just put together and rearranged words from those notifications. The words here belong to Bumble, and the illustration is a stock image. The style is inspired by (and quite frankly, stolen from) this guy who turned his girlfriend’s sleep talking into Rupi Kaur-like poems.

This is also done as a little throwback to my Bachelor’s thesis on Bumble, which was started around this time last year.

To the splashes and waves that we all wanna make.
