i've finally been found out a nurse asked me what grade i'm in, thinking i'm in high school unfortunately, i had to break the illusion and say i already graduated college 💀 we're probably closer in age than some of her colleagues since she's only been a nurse for 3 yrs now

300 character limit sucks anyways, first look bts of hair, makeup, lighting test of last night's self-portrait photoshoot

screenshot of text that reads "i genuinely love my friends. they are so smart and creative. i texted my friend for tips on editing some photos i just took, and he offered to do sample edits and walk thru his process. like i could have just googled how to use lightroom, but the personalized experience is just priceless. i was able to ask specific questions for the direction i want to go and get answers in depth and in real time.
skill share is so important to community creating and sharing space with each other, feeling needed and appreciated for your skill, knowledge share and curiosity. to be open and be able to reciprocate energy. learning and growing is so much easier together
i feel so so lucky"

was home alone a while ago so i watched i saw the tv glow not a review, just some ramblings

letterboxd review of "I Saw the TV Glow" by purple_lilac12
rated 5 stars

tears streamed down my face as the credits rolled. i felt hyperaware, the feeling of my clothes brushing against my skin, the uneven floorboards under my feet, how heavy my chest felt unsure if it had been like that the whole time. it was strange orienting myself again, like i overcorrected my glasses prescription and things felt too sharp. the wrinkles on my fingers while i brushed the hairs of my ikea shark that i could see each individual curl and strand. i felt so in my body and so grounded as if i had been just floating my entire life until this moment. this is the life i am living right now, this is my life, i recall thinking. it was as if i took an edible and i realize im in that state where i can simultaneously feel everything around me just tethered by the slightest thread, lest it breaks and i float away. i imagine floating away, hovering just a few inches above me. but i didnt give myself much time with that clarity, i let the numbness come back quick.

i would often feel that something is so wrong with me, there would be a feeling so bad inside my body, sometimes in my chest, sometimes in my gut that i want to claw at, the strongest urge to cut myself open and reach inside to remove and clean my organs to relieve the bad feeling. the movie felt like that sometimes. i don't relate 1:1 about the specific experience being told, but i feel so adjacent to it in my own way. to refuse yourself and your identity, pushing it down over and over, feeling suffocated by your own self, so utterly scared to claim it while wishing someone, somewhere can save you, force you to finally be yourself, initially refusing and refusing multiple times over because you're too scared, you don't think you're ready yet, hoping for a next chance for someone to force you and that you'll be ready then, but always too scared to take the step alone yourself. you're always just there, on the precipice, on the cliff …
