Discovering new-to-me music and being inspired ! Watching a Terrence Malick film for the tenth time and still finding something new to marvel at. Driving around LA and not hating it nearly as much as my fellow New Yorker’s told me I would. Listening to two strangers discuss politics and gender fluidity as I tap my painted fingernails across my iPad - will either of them change their position at the end of the heated debate? Is Andre 3000 even possible? Finding comfort in the fact that Solange genre hops with no apologies! No need to talk, its not my thing. So much art to make its dizzying — it will cure all evil !

*shines bright light in your face*
But WHY do you like what you like?!
Echoing a sentiment from Tyler, the Creator, where he tweeted for people to expand on what they liked about his songs and delve into the WHY (i.e the bridge, chords, riffs)
Truly believe it’s so so important to be able to articulate why things bring us enjoyment, pleasure and giddiness, because that just makes way for one to obsess/ research and learn more about said thing!
This is basically a gratitude post for PI, I just love blagging about what makes this Little Life of Mine more bearable !!!

i've been posponing so many movies and tv shows on my watchlist that i ended up with 4 digits so i said fuck it. i just watch whatever, no matter my mood, or being made by that director, or seing a new tiktok about that show. so what it doesn't fit with "the vibe" of what i just watched 5 minutes ago? the satisfaction of experiencing a new idea, portrayed in a different way, said by a new voice (new to me at least) it really makes my day.
i know i am not saying anything new to you: that you should enjoy every new piece of art because it's art; but i say it coming from a place where i used to spend all my time concentrating on developing my own unique taste and ended up sabotaging my overall experince with cinema and art in general, which made me more resentful with new things, and just made me overall sad for the way i ended up watching movies.
i think the most important think i learned is no matter what watch things with an open mind. And no mater what remind yourself to do that, remind your friends to do that, remind it to strangers, remind it to everyone.
maybe i am not really touching anyone with this post but i know how important it was for me to see a reassuring message like this in my past. it didn't change the way i tought at the time but it stuck with me.
maybe no one will see this post and that's ok beacuse i wrote it for me.

I’ll admit to having an obsession with clothing. Perhaps its something traded, once I gave up chemicals? I’ve had the good fortune to own some astonishingly beautiful clothes over the years, some of which are even in a museum. Lately, I’ve been hunting for a pair of pink, translucent shoes. Not just any pink, but specific to the one and only, dark designer. Not the ones made of horse-hair, not the version with the bronze toe-cap, not even the ones with the geodesic rubber add-ons. Nope, just the ones I can’t seem to find in my size, and of course, they are no longer in stock, anywhere in the world. .. maybe, I’ll just go for the yellow ones instead !!

Most of my life I’ve been an insatiable reader. Novels, Statistical analysis reports, Aerospace publications, Science Journals, Terra firma and the origins of fault lines - read, learn, dream, broaden your horizons in the comfort of your own mind - Its quiet in there, with the ink drying in the sun. Socializing with the kidnap victims on the moon. Why did they get lost at all, leave alone the…. — You see, it's easy to lose yourself in the columns.

Trying to explain to someone why heritage matters and what being Welsh actually means. Then, talking myself down from the realization you just can’t explain it to someone who isn’t Welsh! Sure, it IS the land of song, choirs and dragons - but say that to my face at your own peril ! Its a deep-rooted, unearthly feeling of melancholy and joy combined loneliness and euphoria simultaneously.Yup, that’s a good start - it is me.
