i am starved (for books, films, clothes, art, food)
or everything i desperately need in my life this week
I am starved.
there is not enough of anything in my life. i constantly need more. more books (knowledge), more films (entertainment), more clothes (aesthetics), more art & decor (beauty), more food (i am literally starving).
books
if there’s one thing i could do all day every day, it’s read. books, articles, essays, poems. but books are my first love. i want to know everything, read every story, and see the world through the pages so lovingly written by strangers.
What You Are Looking For Is in the Library : i always love books about books and libraries. they always feel so cosy and comforting. i need that right now.
Chlorine : i also need horror and weird coming-of-age stories.
films
stunning visuals, perfectly crafted aesthetics, weird characters. i’m falling in love with cinema again. i refuse to accept that the art of film is dead. i know there are brilliant films out there and i want to watch them all.
the love witch : this is who i aspire to be. i think. i haven’t watched it yet, but the trailer alone has already made me fall in love.
but i'm a cheerleader : started watching it on the plane but didn’t have time to finish it. i need to find out where i can stream it, i'm obsessed.
clothes
my bank account says no, but i say i need new clothes. shoes are a must right now with summer now well established (heat waves already in june?) my feet deserve a treat and maybe i don’t need to save for retirement (heat waves in june…)
comfy-looking cute sandals : these look so cool but also so comfortable and i desperately need comfortable shoes this summer because i walk a lot and i need to look cute while i trick my friends into walking everywhere.
unaffordable dior mary janes : i will never be able to afford shoes like these, they belong in lala land, but i am in love. a girl can dream. (if anyone finds cute affordable mary janes, please tell me i am desperate)
art
i am starved for beautiful art. beautiful things make me smile and who doesn’t want to be happy. i am a maximalist at heart and i want to fill my home with lots of beautiful (useless) things that make me smile.
flamingo wall print by local artist : if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that i'm obsessed with flamingos. buy me something flamingo-related and i love you forever.
birdhouse i definitely don't need : i don’t have a garden but i have lots of birds around my apartment and i want to give them a little house and also how cute is it??
food
i am literally starved. being sick is a bitch. but summer means hanging with friends in parks and trying new restaurants. food is also about the company we keep. even if i don’t drink anymore, or eat all that much, i can still try new bars and go for a nice picnic.
cool new montreal speakeasy : i don't drink but i love a speakeasy. and i want to go to this new one and pretend i'm way cooler than i actually am.

alcohol-free pastel drinks : i don’t know what these are, but they’re pretty. yes i am easily influenced by pretty designs on products.
i am starved.
i want to experience everything, nothing is ever enough. i want to do everything all the time, but there is not enough time (or money). i am starved.
