In this regard, to what I like to call a funk.
I feel trĆØs dookie. Lots of change in my life, and in times of instability I tend to fall off the horse- in a major way. Like many ppl. This past go round I have been excessively hard on myself over my general lacking inā¦ well almost everything. Ive come to the conclusion that there are times you have to give yourself more grace than youād like to. Maybe the pity party can last a couple more days than usual. I wonāt go into details, bc as those of you reading who have dealt with mental health struggles, it can be sort of gross. Sure. Thereās a ton I could be doing to put an end to my funk. Make more of an effort to dig myself out of the hole. But, at the end of the day I know I will come out of the funk in my own time. Faking myself out, and convincing myself Iām feeling better serves no one.
Making yourself feel worse over feeling bad in the first place is just wildly counterproductive. Just keep moving forward in time. Thereās a lot of it <3

Great movie to kick off the new year, on at 9 PM on the 31st at the Studio Galande cinema in the 5th arrondissement, lots of fun and probably very nice people to meet. Come dressed up for extra fun.
As a bonus, I believe it's the only theatre in the world that's been showing the movie weekly with actors since it first came out in 1975, so that's pretty cool !

If youāre from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Donāt! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, itās worth it. Plus they have cute little trailers to gab about with your date or friend, but i also go alone because nobody tried to have small talk with you at the movies and you can just disassociate peacefully in blissful high-power air conditioning on a hot nyc summer day. They have guest curators on a monthly basis and do fun screenings of old flicks. Highly recommend it. Nitehawk > Alamo.

I have another indie theater that I prefer because itās cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. Itās not really anything special visually but itās a beautiful institution and itās so fun to be there ā¤ļø
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loewās Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! Itās pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but itās a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

To startā> I donāt want this to come off as trauma dumpy, I am v happy with the person Ive grown into. Who I wouldnāt be if I didnāt have these experiences:)
Iāve moved around so so so much especially as a kid. I used to feel v guilty bc there were a lot of friends I left behind bc of circumstances beyond my control. This pattern became a trend that continued throughout my life. Went to 4 high schools; was going thru a lot, and was referred to as a ghost.
Having someone you didnāt even realize knew who u were say āomg! Itās been a year! We thought youād died, wow, how are you? Yk a lot of people tried to reach outā¦etcā completely changed my perspective on the world. I didnāt even realize the possibility I was really noticed outside of my immediate friend group.
Another case happened this year at university. I was chatting w someone from a class, their friends walk up to say hi, and one says āyour name is Sophia right?ā I said yes and assumed Iād just met her while drunk at a show. So I apologized, and asked her name/ where she was from and all that jazz. It got more awkward when she said we went to the same school growing up, same class and everything. I didnāt recognize her at all, but obviously she knew me, it was so bizarre. Continued to see her around campus nearly every day for the rest of the year Lolz.
It didnt all actualize for me until recently, and still makes my head spin. I canāt imagine how many people I unintentionally became a ghost to :// being perceived is crazyyyy

If youve ever been curious about the culture and science around drugs, Vice had a series called Hamiltonās Pharmacopia. Some episodes/ specials are available on YT.
Premise: Documentary Series- Hamilton Morris is a chemist with a proclivity for studying the effects of different substances and how they work. Each episode is interesting he interviews all sorts of ppl from all walks of life. For instance: interviews a visual artist seemingly addicted to DMT, Native Americans who welcomed him to experience a guided ritual, scientists who did jail time for synthseizing research chemicalsā¦ and so so so many more. Iām not super into the chemistry aspect, but a significant aspect of his show is based in the sociological and psychological affects of illicit substance.
I linked one of my favorite episodes:)
I also just luv Hamilton ā£ļø and if he ever sees this š«¶š»š«¶š»š«¶š» lolz
