I love thrifting when I‘m having trouble finding stuff on clearance, which has been the case lately. the places I went to get these are: Goodwill, Plato’s Closet, and Simply Chic. being able to diy/find accessories for these and styling outfits around them will be sm fun 😁
buy books with someone else’s annotations. pick up old cook books for a couple bucks. check which pages have the most wear and tear, try those first. buy cheap sunglasses and antique jewelry. I buy almost all my clothes from thrift stores or vintage shops. I have furnished my dorms and apartments through thrifted plates, silverware, and other decor. almost everything is better quality than what gets made today.
even the smallest things may not seem to matter in the moment, but when you fast forward a bit, you may be trying to grasp the memory without any luck. writing things down, taking pictures, collecting, etc. is all so important.
my parents used to judge me and think I was weird for talking to myself when I was younger. I’m sure they still do, but they’re less vocal about it as they used to be. for context, I’m an only child, so talking to myself was nice for when I was bored or whatnot. it’s also helpful for sorting through my thoughts. it’s good to get things out when I don’t feel like talking to anyone in particular. I like to think of it as my own personal podcast.
I’m so glad I found this app. I was looking for a place where I can share more about myself without feeling judged by the people around me. now people can feel a connection towards me being truly myself instead of the mask I’ve been conditioned to put on for others. I imagine handing someone I’ve just met a paper with a link to this profile on it as a fun experiment
