The russian roulette of thrifted coat pick pocketing

Another simple pleasure of life. I started doing this in the beginning of college. It is probably the most acessible way to thrill seek if you’re not a germaphobe. Basically, when you go to the thrift store and check out the coats, you put your hand in the pockets and fish out whatever’s in there. Sometimes it’s a coin or a Kleenex (ew) but sometimes you pull out relics like this: a front row ticket to the 2019 Rolling Stones show at the Rose Bowl. $500 in a $12 coat. Pretty cool. Makes for easy day dreaming and pondering. I think the best thing I ever found was a forgotten valentine.

Thrifting for something specific

I’ve been on the hunt for a few home decor pieces lately and I am NOT settling for second best or spending a lot! It is fun to go to the thrift and look through the home section real quick and leave. When it takes 10 tries to find what i am looking for i feel so much more appreciative of owning it! If I’m not willing to work for my stuff it is not something I need!!!

anything i’ve bought new is a weight on my soul

with so much Stuff in the world i find the whole concept of buying something brand new a little absurd when it’s so easy to find pre-loved things that are still functional or easily repurposed. every time i deviate from that belief i end up regretting it. this includes every piece of technology i own, a dress i bought last minute to go to a fancy event i was underdressed for, my blender, my electric razor (not so guilty that i bought this new, but still wish i’d splurged and gotten one that would last longer - i can just tell this one is gonna self destruct as soon as it works out how), my docs, and fabric i’ve bought new rather than thrifted. even with socks and undies i feel like i could be making them with thrifted fabric instead of buying the mass produced versions

delete your social media accounts

I’m not talking about disabling I’m talking about deleting your fucking Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, whatever. The posting, scrolling, liking is helping nobody. Hardcore for some but the path I’ve chosen
