It's the most exquisite book written by an poet called Ocean Vuong which makes his writing so lyrical and poetic in the book.

maybe my answer is basic, but despite always having loved writing poetry i haven't actually read much of it until recently. we covered this poem in a course i was taking and it's just so good.
i just finished Ocean Vuong's "Night Sky With Exit Wounds" and it was so good as well, one of my favorites was "Thanksigivng 2006".
another poet i could recommend is Aimee Seu, i'm hoping to buy her book "Velvet Hounds" soon, a poem i love by her is called "Thrift Store Fur".
lastly, another poet i really love is chen chen. i really recommend reading "Summer"!

I might be spending it alone in my room this year and i think i'm okay with that?
pros:
- cosy night in (imagine Jennifer Garner in 13 going on 30 with the face mask and all) + booze
- i can get up the next day without a hangover and work on my film
- do all the things I really wanna do: visionboard, ins & outs, journaling, ...
- dance party, cinema all that at home
- don't have to find a way to get home
cons:
- fomo I guess of other ppl being out and partying / the "experience"
- dancing out all night
- not kissing someone when the clock hits 0:00
sharing this feels stupid but also, not. like am I the only one? can't be right?
