i was never young + the pressure to be a party girl 🪺🐚🪩

* happy weekend sweet ones! before scampering off to enjoy 1) fave friday takeout meal: sushi salad + mango soda 2) more episodes of netflix’s VLADIMIR (omg) 🌸🫦 i decided to record a little love note for my assembled collection of queens. in today’s episode i ponder, pontificate, and squiggle brain noodle muse on:* an energetic glow down recipe for disaster * radical acts of wellness renegade rebellion* no one parties anymore + is that okay? * my new fave heart opening cacao recipe * the HD & astrological making of an ambivert * nervous system informed expansion * + more my dreams, feed, and intrusive recurring thoughts have been consumed with the seemingly urgent/ disastrous lack of partying amongst the youth/ youngish. in this cavernous disco ball shaped absence there is a ubiquitous wellness girly/ happy homebody lifestyle (sheet masks, early bedtimes, pearl powder sleepy girl mocktails, etc.)as someone who has tried + failed to be young, wild, and free, the *shoulds* of extroversion + alcohol induced fun feel overwhelming at times. this felt like a bit of licensing and also a bit of catharsis bc i don’t want anyone to tell me what to do anymore: old crusty male thought leaders or young sparkly internet thought daughters alike! x p.s. this is the gelatin i mentioned! the glow it is granting my visage is really pleasantly surprising!
