i've had this same problem and the only solution i've found (granted there's not a crazy amount of options i've seen where i live) is looking at plato's closet or the thrift for stuff. old j.crew corduroys were all high waisted, bunch of older rustler/wrangler denim, etc. as far as new options go i'm in the same boat as you because i'm tired of gambling on whatever length they are 😭

i have never found a pair of shorts i like, that fit me well, and are comfortable, so i’ve resorted to thrifting jeans i wear for. a few days to make sure i like them and then cutting them into The Perfect Shorts (i like old wranglers best)

Thrifted a pair of Wrangler denim that fit just right for me. Baggy but not too much. I haven’t been able to find a pair quite like it, I have some Levi’s 569s I really like but they’re a bit too loose.

i got this one pair of wranglers at a thrift store a while back and i wear them almost everyday. i wear jeans everyday so i need to trust my jeans not to rip or anything stupid like that. my rule is that if i can’t wear my jeans to a ranch and be comfortable the entire time, then they’re not worth it

as far as material things go...
- falling back in love with reading for pleasure and not for academic requirement
- flat-wound guitar strings because they last forever and sound fantastic even when they're dead
- old goofy mugs; it's like a more buttoned-up equivalent to finding that out of pocket t-shirt at the thrift and i love how much character they add

i know it's basic but keeping a daily journal has been one of the most grounding things in my life. you don't need to shell out $$$ on a travelers' notebook and a snazzy pen, but just repeating the daily act of physically writing your thoughts down is a wonderful thing. i keep a daily recollection/diary sort of thing along with a sort of freeform commonplace book where i jot down thoughts or lyric ideas or cool words i read and had to look up definitions of. it's nerd shit but the sort of positive affirming nerd shit that everyone needs at least a little bit of. also the amount of stuff you forget over the course of a week/month/year is astounding -- doing this is fun in part because you can read through your past entries (good and bad) again with fresh eyes.
