Every weekend I’ve made it a ritual to get breakfast at the same place by myself and journal. I’m pushing 30 and almost all of my friends my age are in loving long-term relationships. Sometimes I’m resentful and sometimes I remember I’m on my own journey of self healing that has been proven by the universe time and time again (however painfully) that I cannot bring someone on this journey with me.
So I go to breakfast alone, I go to my local haunt alone, order a cider and read in silence. Sometimes I talk to people that approach me and other times I’m simply an observer. Sometimes it feels like a muscle I need to train to make the effort to do these things for myself and other times I love the feeling of being in my own world amongst strangers in theirs.
But I keep going and I keep exploring and I keep holding space and dreaming and hoping and yearning. And sometimes it’s painful and sometimes its exactly where I need to be.

If you’re from brooklyn or new york city or just moved here, i know, this is cliche. But i! Don’t! Care! The truffle popcorn is addicting, even if I'm farting for the rest of the movie, it’s 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 it’s cozier, has better vibes, is much closer to me, and everybody who works there is genuinely passionate about film. It’s not really anything special visually but it’s a beautiful institution and it’s so fun to be there ❤️
But this one is an old art deco theatre designed by architect John Eberson (he designed Loew’s Paradise in the Bronx and the Paradise Theatre in Chicago)! It’s pretty run down/poorly managed and staffed but it’s a gorgeous building and definitely worth visiting. Not my photos but included for illustrative purposes!!

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’ve spent too many years of my life giving my power away. To people whose own insecurities couldn’t bare to stomach my light, to lovers with savior complexes who needed me to be wounded to love or vice versa abandoning myself to build up others only for them to walk away and be better for someone else.
I’ve had to humble myself and acknowledge that I’ve attracted emotionally or physically unavailable people that mirrored my own avoidance and unavailability to self.
Well fuck that.
I’m not doing that anymore. My power is my own and I’m going to get and be as big and bright as possible. I want to be blinding.

I’ve been creating monthly playlists with songs both new and old of any genre since 2020!
These are a collection of tunes I’ve been listening to this past month, kind of like a musical diary of sorts…
Artists include: Devon Again, Fiona Apple, Cherry Glazerr, Childish Gambino, etc.
P.S. MUST listen in order!

Well yes!
This is the first release under my new artist moniker produced by my close friend dakotablue
It’s industrial, gothic feminine rage.
The delusion taking over into insanity.
Peep! 👀
