Top things that are usually in mind

- ill go grocery shopping and get things i really want but cant afford to buy on a regular basis. - second hand clothes or books; recently been buying books that are small so i can bring them with me anywhere and idk its just such vibe to hold a tiny book in public and also children's books r sooo fun to read as an adult - tech gadget accessories for my convenience (sometimes for aesthetic purposes of my work station) - an app/digital service/subscription that i probably wont use - traveling to the place where i went to uni in to meet frens n go to my fav spots

Finding meaningful trinkets at Estate sales

i love stuff perhaps a little too much and it’s impossible for me to pick a single trinket but in general i think the stuff that i own that’s the most important to me at this point is stuff i’ve gotten secondhand at estate sales vs just bought new. assigning a personal history to something older than myself, keeping things that meant something to someone else meaningful for a little while longer. started going estate sale-ing summer after i finished college with a great friend i made at school, which feels like the start of becoming the me i am now and collecting stuff that i really intentionally wanna try and keep for the rest of my life. pictured below is a grail from my first ever estate sale: a yearbook from my school 100 years before my graduation. it’s the first thing you see when you walk into my apartment, the first place i lived in alone long-term - kinda wanna keep it by every entryway as i move apartments.

i think i might be...

when i was younger: a slightly on-the-fritz toaster that's been with you since your uni dorm days and you haven't felt the need to replace yet because the slight char on your bread has become an acquired taste, whose case is slightly sun-bleached from its place by the window, sitting quite happily on the kitchen counter on a thursday afternoon i think i'm slowly into my arc of becoming a battered, well-loved, sticker-covered student's laptop who hasn't given up yet somehow despite a good few close calls eventually, the aim is a bottle of orange liqueur sitting in a minibar or on a kitchen counter next to a stack of board games ready for a games night

keeping a journal

i know it's basic but keeping a daily journal has been one of the most grounding things in my life. you don't need to shell out $$$ on a travelers' notebook and a snazzy pen, but just repeating the daily act of physically writing your thoughts down is a wonderful thing. i keep a daily recollection/diary sort of thing along with a sort of freeform commonplace book where i jot down thoughts or lyric ideas or cool words i read and had to look up definitions of. it's nerd shit but the sort of positive affirming nerd shit that everyone needs at least a little bit of. also the amount of stuff you forget over the course of a week/month/year is astounding -- doing this is fun in part because you can read through your past entries (good and bad) again with fresh eyes.

sweat tour, Detroit 2024

i've been going to concerts religiously for the past decade and never before have i felt more immediate crowd energy than when this ******** brat cube appeared out of nowhere. absolutely incredible. maybe night 1 of oasis at wembley will top this but this was truly special

second-hand

i've had this same problem and the only solution i've found (granted there's not a crazy amount of options i've seen where i live) is looking at plato's closet or the thrift for stuff. old j.crew corduroys were all high waisted, bunch of older rustler/wrangler denim, etc. as far as new options go i'm in the same boat as you because i'm tired of gambling on whatever length they are 😭
