Last year I bought something new at the markets each time I visited. This year’s fun resolution is yet to come to me, but I trust it will. There’s no rules to your yearly resolutions, and making them fun and playful helps them to stick. It’s all about being present.
What’s yours this year?

Posting a list of the things one bought in 2024 is the symptom of complete moral decadence and utterly depressing.

Too many, unfortunately.

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!

i definitely got into a cycle of the dopamine rush of buying new things, swiftly followed by regret, so i’ve been making a concerted effort to use what i already have. the tricky part is making it feel as exciting as buying something new, so i’ve been trying to frame it as a sleuth situation where i look for the item that most suits what im dreaming of. and inevitably, i usually have it. it’s been helping me out :)
fun additions also include borrowing from loved ones, clothing swaps

I turned 30 during Melbourne’s marathon pandemic lockdowns so it was a bit of a non-event which just made me realise it’s pretty chill.
Your Saturn Return can be pretty bumpy but once you’re on the other side, things feel like they’re within reach and the world seems brighter and lighter. I enjoy my own company more, want to explore the world and feel more equipped to tackle whatever the universe throws at me.
It may be cringe but I am cringe and I am free!!!
