there is something so poetic about tearing yourself apart over and over and your skin becoming stronger each time, like a small shield made out of your cells with which your body says: i am here and i don't want you to hurt. the one on my left heel reminds me of all the hikes i've done and the one on my right hand, where knives rub against my soft skin, reminds me of all the fulfilling meals i've made. now, walking or dicing doesn't hurt anymore. i'm being kept safe.

picking dead skin off the bottom of my ears, pulling my cuticles up, popping pimples, really pushing your nails into your hand lines, destroying scabs, etc… my body may be kind of bloody and and dysfunctional but it’s smooth and that’s what matters

scarred, wrinkly, with hyperpigmentation. i love doing things with my hands.
on a side note, may i just say hm i love layering nail polish because it creates textures from the stuff it touches and i can pick it and still look cool.

* One long faint white slice on my index finger because I was washing my Ninja blender and I dropped the blades and instinctively grabbed them to catch them as if they weren’t literally just sharp blades lol
* One red mark where I tore a chunk of skin off of my hand scraping it against a very very matte finish painted wall in my apartment building violently jerkinh my sweet little friendly dog Benny away from a hulking lunging German shepherd named Maverick who just “got excited”

seeing a movie on a huge screen (as most directors intended it to be seen) and just indulging in approximately 2 hours of pure uninterrupted escapism without anyone to worry about (plus supporting your local cinema at the same time). works best with "slow" films where the scenes linger. total bliss.

i don't know who needs to hear this (me. i need to hear this. i wrote this rec for me.) but late-stage capitalism influencers reaaaally want you to believe you need to have this whole grand 15-step skincare routine with all the little gadgets and gizmos or you are doing something fundamentally wrong. hear me out here - you are fine. the only thing they are contributing to is the ever-growing need to consume and the systematic destruction of your skin barrier. as long as you wash your face regularly and put on some sunscreen every morning, the rest is mostly just for the vibes.
