āself-worth becomes a hostage to professional accolades and achievementā
ā¦
āFocusing on someone outside their career encourages a culture where people feel valued for who they are, not just what they doā
what are your thoughts?
i agree to a certain extent. it depends on the delivery of the question as well.
most of the time you can tell if someone is genuinely interested in who you are as a person. asking about somebodyās job can provide a lot of insight into a personās interests and general character - i think itās fine for your job to be an aspect of your identity.
i could also tangent into why capitalism may have an influence on why this question is asked so frequently..
i do find myself struggling with gauging the intentions behind this question sometimes; which often makes me less emotionally open and usually filters a potential friendship into a professional/transactional relationship immediately.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I donāt feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre ā and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background ā come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

I haven't been in NYC for that long but I've found that the well for film in NYC is pretty deep and you can really find anything you are looking for on a given night. Obscure, Foreign, Indie, Cult Classic, whatever.
Screen Slate is a good resource to find whats playing where all around the city.
I would also suggest following a lot of the theaters on ig and they will have posts about showings that might pique your interest.
Spectacle and Film Noir are pretty cool screening rooms in BK that are pretty low key and DIY if you are looking for an interesting night out.
Finally, getting a membership to metrograph, ifc or film forum is a good option if you go to one of them and like it. Reduced prices go along way if you are going to a theater pretty frequently.

letting go of the past. letting go of unrealistic expectations. letting go of your ego. letting go of the wounds you still hold. release and create space in your heart and mind and soul to allow healing and love into ur lifeeee :)

the perfect third place. love the fun chats afterwords. nobody is really left out of conversation bc we all just experienced the exact same thing in unison. just an exchange of thoughts, feelings and ideas.
also a place that kinda forces you to completely sit and focus in on whatās in front of you. something i think most of us forget to make time for.. especially if you are someone like me, always on the move and maybe always a little distracted.
what movie will you be watching at the theatres next? maybe iāll watch it too and we can have a chat about it all on the virtual plain :)
