I love seeing someone doing/wearing/using something and being like "whoa cool" and then copying them, that's how I've found most of my favorite things. A non-exhaustive list of things and sources includes:
• Drinking coffee out of glass mugs with milk and sugar (Jeanne Dielman)
• L'Occitane lavender hand cream (my friend Louie)
• Mini bottles of sparkling mineral water at home instead of big ones (the bad guy in the Claire Denis movie Bastards)
• Being gay (my mother)
• Jazz fusion (my father)

That random person on the street? Inspo. A bottle of Dr. Bronners? Inspo. That one thing my friend said off hand? Inspo.

i have my mother's accent and so many of her mannerisms, while i like pasta cooked the same way my father does.
my brother has influenced me a lot in so many ways, it's honestly hard to just pick one.
my friends and i use each others' expressions all the time.
every time i listen to kpop i think about my friend marta (she's the one who introduced me to the genre) and every time i listen to my chemical romance i think about my middle school friends.
my idea of teaching is of course influenced by my violin teacher and when i put my violin away i cover it with my grandmother's silk scarf.
i want to learn how to sew because of my other grandmother.
from my grandfathers i got the love for watching documentaries and playing cards.
these are just some examples that come to mind, but i love thinking about it :)

I love the desert and the mountains enough to endure chapped skin, I love laughing hysterically in a hot spring and asking a woman who her doppleganger is and feeling relieved when she says Nicole Kidman because of course that’s who it was and I couldn’t put my finger on it, I love when my friends love the same places I do and want to come back, I love eating cucumbers for hydration, I love when my friends aren’t sure about brilliant comedy (NATE on Netflix) but then come around the next day and start quoting it, I love making up little stories about fake characters that an AI portrait app turned me into (all suspiciously big breasted), I love philosophizing in the hot tub, I love a good deal at the turn of spring, I love massage beds that are also harps underneath, I love thrift stores in small towns where you can actually get a gigantic bag of incredible clothing including jackets for $100 or less (NYC could never), I love martinis hidden in trees, I love lore of a place that’s handed down from teacher to teacher, and I have come to terms that I love extremely geriatric hobbies

Out this morning. Live albums rock, cover albums rock, Bob Dylan rocks, Cat Power rocks, this album is perfect. Her voice sounds so good and the band is tight. My favorite ex and I's first date was to go see Cat Power play a solo show at the Paradise in Boston in 2013, we stood on the balcony and both cried during Knockin' On Heaven's Door (Dylan cover). Highlights on the new album are Visions Of Johanna, Baby Let Me Follow You Down and One Too Many Mornings.

Kind of a recent game changer for me as someone prone to waiting until the brink of falling asleep before I get up and get ready for bed. I started a few months ago washing my face like right when I walk in the door if I know I'm not leaving again and now I'm fully converted. It feels super weird in the beginning but I promise 11 PM you is gonna be sooo grateful for 6 PM you's forward thinking.
