-Day pass at da sauna. This is my big “u deserve a break” ticket item as it’s expensive. but going back and forth from cold plunge < > sauna fixes me for at least a few days.
-Pastry, specifically at Librae or Radio while in nyc. Anything flaky, really. I’m a raging slut for anything croissant-like or forged from puff pastry.
-Bad tv... speaks for itself… its like a punishment and a reward rolled into one…..
-Books and records I guess. Any physical media shopped-for in person since it’s kinda the experience itself that’s the “treat yourself” rather than just the item
-Taco Bell. Similar to bad tv, this one is something that feels somewhat self destructive so I only let myself have it if I’m already depressed. Like if I already feel bad how much worse could Taco Bell make it? Oh I’ll shit my pants? Ok well maybe then I’ll have something *real* to worry about instead of existentialism or metacognition about the existentialism or whatever useless grievance has me in the doldrums that day.

- Cinema trip (esp in the afternoon)
- Getting my nails done. This is even better since I stopped going to the place where the lady is rough with the buffer
- Buying secondhand clothes on EBay. I really like the 90s Made in USA Stussy T-shirts: they’re just the right length and fit and have a nice worn-in look
- Morning spent reading in bed
- Eating out on a whim. My new office is next to Chinatown and the last time I forgot my lunch I went and ate in a restaurant window instead of buying a sad sandwich and it vastly improved the day

we're all going to die one day. better to die with used notebooks than empty ones.
they don't need to look pretty. as long as you're writing, you're doing something right.

if they don't ask about your life, then they don't deserve to know about it. don't give away the lore for free. keep 'em guessing.

the older i become, the greater my desire to be more direct and less inhibited. i don't want to be consumed by fear anymore. life is too precious.
