It’s just south of Salem and it’s about as New England as you can possibly get! It’s one of my favorite places in the world! And it’s where they filmed a lot of Hocus Pocus!
If/when you decide to go, try and stay at the Harbor Light Inn!

the quintessential New England town imo. Stop by the Press Room and say hi to Tristan or go sit in Prescott Park. You can even walk over a bridge to Maine!
Bonus points if you go in October. Very spooky place.

i went to school in maine! a lot of the coastal towns (rockland, camden specifically) are really cute and fun to drive through during the off-season. much more peaceful…
portland is also great - was recently there and went to the Washington St Baths (like a spa with pools at different temperatures) which was a divine experience. also much better coffee in portland than anywhere else in the NE (including Boston)

During my senior year of high school, I designed a set for a conceptual theatre production of The Sound of Music and made a white model for it in 1/4” scale. I love that model to death. When I look at it, I feel so sure that I‘m on the right career path for me.

I can‘t even begin to explain the dopamine hit I get when I see chimney smoke. Maybe it reminds me that there’s actually people inside, that there are other people living completely different lives that I would never know about? Maybe it’s the aesthetic? It just somehow makes me feel less alone in the world.

it’s 3 am and I just had the most amazing conversation with my mom about my sexuality and what it means. I’m so grateful to have a family that not only loves and accepts me but truly wants to know about my life and experiences and wants to learn about queerness and what lgbtqia+ people experience. I came out of the conversation feeling so much better and feeling like a weight has been lifted now that I’ve been able to get things off my chest. I hope everyone is able to have someone like that in their life ❤️
