and Hotel du Lac by Anita Brookner ––both very reflective, interior novels about a young woman and her relationships, friendships, expectations for her life and how these all change, similar to normal people mostly in the way I felt the protagonists were observing/detached from their lives as they were participating in them. But for a twist, these were written in 1929 and 1984! and still wonderfully readable and relatable

you should know/say hi to the people on your commute not just to foster community and be a kind warm welcoming New Yorker (all the real ones are) but also because it will make you a happier person! my local garage boys tell me I’m a princess every day, the weed smoking guy on the stoop with the cool motorcycle tells me when my outfits are slaying, and the deli guy and I vent to one another about our love lives on the reg! we <3 human connection

Reset days are the key to avoiding burnout as a creative. Don’t think, don’t answer your phone, eat whatever you feel like eating, take a shower in the morning and a bath at 2pm, exist in a robe all day. your creative juices will recharge and you’ll thank yourself later.
