I’ve spent too many years of my life giving my power away. To people whose own insecurities couldn’t bare to stomach my light, to lovers with savior complexes who needed me to be wounded to love or vice versa abandoning myself to build up others only for them to walk away and be better for someone else.
I’ve had to humble myself and acknowledge that I’ve attracted emotionally or physically unavailable people that mirrored my own avoidance and unavailability to self.
Well fuck that.
I’m not doing that anymore. My power is my own and I’m going to get and be as big and bright as possible. I want to be blinding.

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — 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 — 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.

Every weekend I’ve made it a ritual to get breakfast at the same place by myself and journal. I’m pushing 30 and almost all of my friends my age are in loving long-term relationships. Sometimes I’m resentful and sometimes I remember I’m on my own journey of self healing that has been proven by the universe time and time again (however painfully) that I cannot bring someone on this journey with me.
So I go to breakfast alone, I go to my local haunt alone, order a cider and read in silence. Sometimes I talk to people that approach me and other times I’m simply an observer. Sometimes it feels like a muscle I need to train to make the effort to do these things for myself and other times I love the feeling of being in my own world amongst strangers in theirs.
But I keep going and I keep exploring and I keep holding space and dreaming and hoping and yearning. And sometimes it’s painful and sometimes its exactly where I need to be.

I’ve been creating monthly playlists with songs both new and old of any genre since 2020!
These are a collection of tunes I’ve been listening to this past month, kind of like a musical diary of sorts…
Artists include: Devon Again, Fiona Apple, Cherry Glazerr, Childish Gambino, etc.
P.S. MUST listen in order!

Well yes!
This is the first release under my new artist moniker produced by my close friend dakotablue
It’s industrial, gothic feminine rage.
The delusion taking over into insanity.
Peep! 👀
