Mouse’s essential movies

I’m limiting myself to 10 to be sensible and these are subject to frequent and unpredictable change. Tried to do a range of genres and a few well beloved directors. I hope you find as much joy in cinema as I have! Howls Moving Castle - when you say you’ve seen nothing, does this mean no ghibli? There’s a whole load of Studio Ghibli films that are amazing, this is my comfort Film. Jennifer’s Body - essential bisexual cult cinema. never met a man who likes it, never met a woman who doesn’t It Follows - possibly my favourite ever horror movie. Four Lions - Probably my favourite comedy ever, very British, very brilliant Arrival - one of only two times a film has given me the feeling of the sublime in the same way seeing the alps did.(the other one is The Green Knight, consider this a sneaky Rec for that too) Beautiful sci-fi. The Virgin Suicides - Arguably Sofia Coppola’s best film. The Big Lebowski - my favourite Coen Brother’s film (I have Maud tattooed on me). fun and hugely well loved. Only Lovers Left Alive - Jim Jarmusch is a must watch director, this and Paterson are my faves. Tilda Swinton and TI’m Hiddleston play sexy vampires. Ocean’s 11 - very vocal about my love for heist films, and this is the cream of the crop

Why do I want to be healthy/ier?

I saw a series on tt that goes "Things that make me want to be healthy that have nothing to do with men or wanting to be beautiful". It's one of the most relevant and beautiful things the algorithm has blessed me with recently. I've been thinking about starting a light weight loss fitness journey but I couldn't find it in me to go through with it because a) working out sucks, and b) I don't even know WHY I want to do it. I don't want to feed old attitudes and mentalities that motivated me to be "healthier" in a way when I was younger but absolutely butchered my relationship with my body. *Shrugging girl emoji

Moving out

It's so crazy of me to even consider this as I haven't worked a single paying job in a year. I had a breakdown of sorts which led to me quitting school and stopping work. My parents were super supportive but perhaps not anymore. I want to move out now and have my own space. I don't want to wait for my life to "get in line" for me to try stuff and do things. Like moving out! But everything is so expensive in Addis and I would need at least about 5 months worth of monthly salaries to even consider moving out.

ugly crying while texting my best friend

My friend, who is a painter, asked me how I would like to be painted. He's doing portraits of all his closest friends and out of curiosity he asked me if I ever imagined what my portrait would look like. I told him I didn't know, because I honestly didn't. But I started thinking about it immediately. I told him that I wouldn't want my face to be seen fully because I feel like I hide behind my face/appearance. And that I see a lot of red. He told me that his vision of me is completely different. He said that he sees a velvet green background (green is my favorite color btw) and a lotta wispy lines, kind of like smoke from incense. He said he sees my whole face. "No hiding," in his words. He kept on telling me things that completely clash with how I see myself. Through his eyes I am so beautiful and it breaks my heart how I can't fully relate to it. My friends teach me love everyday. The more love I feel, give and receive, I mourn all the time I spent in the dark. Anywaaaaay, I feel like this song/performance really fits the vibe? I opened it immediately after that conversation and I started bawling even harder lol. Rachel Chinouriri truly holds my heart when I feel weak. She's probably the reason I feel weak in the first place cuz honestly she does something to me every time I listen to her.
