- the umbrellas of cherbourg
- past lives
- before sunset
- normal people (show/book)
- first love (netflix show)

Perfect Days by Wim Wenders, shows you the beauty of everyday life
The Worst Person in the World, simply showing life & love how it is
Aftersun, a deeply moving debut film which tells you the whole story in between the lines
Beautiful Boy, deeply moving story about addiction & the relationship between father & son
High Fidelity (the Zoë Kravitz Version), simply levels up your music taste, really good remake
Normal People (better if you read the book first), unglorifies life & love in the most beautiful way

Since I think we may have similar tastes:
Princess Mononoke (or other Studio Ghibli, this one’s just my favorite/most profound imo)
Under the Silver Lake (for the beau is afraid lovers)
Chungking Express (I’m still thinking about it)
Her (one of my personal favorites and every year it gets progressively more realistic)
HM:
We Live in Time (b2b Andrew Garfield recs okayyy also this is the fault in our stars for adults)

figuring out the small things i can do that i know will make me feel at least 5% better has been so helpful to build momentum throughout my day.
some of mine:
groggy -> coffee, go outside and walk around, or a mini nap
lethargic/irritable -> taking a shower and deep breaths, opening a window
sad -> get sunlight, stand outside for ten minutes, hug my cat
anxious/unable to focus -> writing a brain dump of everything that’s on mind or cbt journaling
unable to sleep -> reading a book
bored -> create/output something (input(watching/listening to/reading something, scrolling on my phone) vs output(making something, writing my thoughts on something i watched, trying something new))
bloated -> ginger tea, activating pressure points, yoga
uninspired -> revisiting something formative, figuring out the unexplored territories in my taste and going into them, looking through my collection of art books

i found a box of my parent’s photos from when they first started dating to their wedding and around when i was born and made me realize:
1. there is so much more life to live!! and i hope i can look back on my 20’s with the same fondness they do
2. how nice it is to have physical photos - i never go through my camera roll but i love revisiting old journals or scrapbooks and i think printing photos would have the same effect. i find that the phone camera effect almost makes taking pictures feel more disposable or practical rather than artistic (for me personally, ik a lot of people who have really nice camera rolls on their phones) so maybe getting a camera or just thinking about memory capture differently would aim me in this direction
