I feel like I really like when things are discounted, not only because I save money, but because I like to be reminded that value is inherently fluid, flexible and not stagnated at all. Everything in life is a product of our perception of it, our understanding of what something's value is changes the thing completely. I love that. That being said, SSENSE sale sections takes all my money for real

I simply love saving money on things that I don’t need. I buy stuff sometimes just bc it is such a good deal.

I have arbitrary amounts in my head for how much I think things should cost which become increasingly delusional as inflation continues to skyrocket. These dollar amounts are so low that you would think that I’m somebody’s grandfather from the Great Depression, but I do my best to hold the line. I like to buy items that are open-box returns, refurbished, or used, and sort low to high is my lifeline. I want to get a good value for the price that I pay and I’m always obsessed with finding a deal. That said, I indulge far too much in costly food, drink, and other earthly pleasures—it’s about finding balance in that tension between restraint and surrender.

I'm still trying to practice what I preach here. Capitalism makes it pretty hard; they want to keep us buying things so instant pleasure and gratification is marketed and thrown at us everywhere, and makes us feel like to be accepted in society, we must always have the latest "thing." But I've started to realize nothing deeply good can come easy, or cheap for that matter. It feels way more satisfying to know I've purchased something of quality, something that means something to me, something that'll last, rather than a cheap fad that'll have to be replaced soon anyway. Not to mention knowing and caring WHERE your money is going (small businesses over large corporations, looking into what the company stands for.) There are so many times I've told myself I can't afford something I really want and am drawn to, when I've realized how much I've spent on stupid little cheap things that don't matter to me. For yourself, for others, for the planet, spend INTENTIONALLY. And if that means you end up owning less, good! And while you're at it, do a bit of Marie Condo-ing (but please, donate what you can for christ's sake.) You might experience a little withdraw with the lack of stuff and lack of spending, but I think overall you'll feel lighter, freer and more satisfied!

There’s this kind of liminal genre of music girls are making that I’m obsessed with where the vocals most of the time aren’t super clear and it’s like washy and fluid vibes (think Highway - Elusin, halo3 - 8485, anything Grouper.) This is music for hot esoteric baddies to walk around drug stores to and I am obsessed with it. I kind of feel like I live in this space terminally of like feminine joy and anxiety simultaneously, and I feel like that line between those two things is where I write music from (although it doesn’t sound the same as I have an addiction to pop culture)

I’m obsessed with what Disney has been and become. Like I am enamored with the history, the lore, everything about it (I have watched so many defunctland videos it's disturbing.) Firstly, I can’t believe Disney began with a man drawing something and now Disneyland alone brings in like 11 million dollars a day. It’s genuinely unbelievable. And I think it’s so sweet how people get connected to these drawn characters through storytelling, through seeing little parts of themselves in it, it’s just beautiful. It’s so crazy what art in collaboration with capitalism can do, and the empire astounds, boggles, disturbs and inspires me beyond. BESIDES all of this stuff, I love Disneyland as it’s like the one place that is so overstimulating to me and immersive that I literally can go there and not think about anything else. It’s like the most wholesome form of escapism and it means so much to me being able to do that, just pull up to Disneyland and disassociate into like a cartoon from the 1940s. I love the early Hollywood vibes and lore associated with it, the earliest cartoons are my favorite. Ok one more thing. ALSO the dark underbelly is so interesting to me. Like how anything that is advertising being front-facing ideal and perfect is fucked up (obviously.) Also my EP cover was shot there

I am not engaged but I have this vision of being engaged where you’re like on an airplane riding in business class and you’re in a brown mohair sweater and have a delicate, elegant, epic engagement ring on your finger and maybe you’re sipping like champagne? I don’t know, this is my deepest fantasy you are accessing right at your fingertips….I want it so bad????
