This is an upbeat playlist that keeps my serotonin from dropping! I created it during lockdown, I think. Are we allowed to talk about that anymore? It’s all a blur. Anyways, it was supposed to be mainly disco but now it's just a bunch of upbeat songs that keep me from being depressed. Whenever I need a slap in the face and to have my spirit buoyed, I listen to this. Maybe it’ll do the same for you! I've included the link.

my sister luvs this, she's the one who described it as a cure for depression, also said its giving disco vibes, which i guess is partly accurate bc i mainly included 80s-90s electro/synth pop and somewhat i may call derivatives or sub-genres?? and more recent tracks that give off the same vibes

i have this one playlist i really only listen to when i’m feeling down, and the songs on there make me laugh and smile and turn my mood around 9/10 times.
i think it also works best because i save it for when i really need it

Again, I'm using this category as an umbrella so I can list my favorite movies that I think by watching will make everyone's life better or at least distract you from whatever bullshit is going on in your own life for a moment, and put a smile on your face. Maybe you'll even relate to what the characters in the films are going through and you'll feel a little bit less alone and it will change your life forever. These are my favorite movies that I watch over and over again: An Unmarried Woman, Swingers, Annie Hall, Broken English, Girlfriends. Last Days of Disco, and Hannah and Her Sisters. And one of my favorite theaters to watch movies in in New York City is Metrograph. A sanctuary. A safe haven. The programming is extraordinary. And they have a wonderful restaurant upstairs called The Commissary. Run don't walk.

I’m a big fan of having a uniform. I love wearing essentially the same thing every day. My uniform is high-waisted pants, and a button-down shirt. Maybe a cashmere crew neck sweater thrown over. I live in Uniqlo button down blouses. I have like five in white, five in black, a handful of the polka dot patterned blouses. They're affordable, they last, and they look more expensive than they are. I consider them highbrow, minimalist, effortlessly chic perfection. You won’t regret it.

David Lynch is an icon. I love his films. I love his writing. And it’s because of him I started doing transcendental meditation, TM. He is a huge advocate of transcendental meditation. So much so that he started a foundation dedicated to it. I have what my very best friend Rebekah calls “Jazz brain”. I’m constantly all over the place and buzzing. I need a tool that calms me down and grounds me. For me, this is Transcendental meditation. It’s so easy a practice, it’s complicated. You’re given a mantra, you close your eyes, focus on the mantra, and each time your attention veers from the mantra - you gently bring it back. You can't do it wrong. Our attention deviating from the mantra is simply our way of releasing stress aka the millions of thoughts living in our head. I can’t recommend TM enough. It changed my life. I still have jazz brain. I'm still talkative and who I am. But now I have the ability to access the stillness in me.
