westerners will write their articles with headlines like “why ukraine matters” as if it was a wasteland. it matters because i and the rest of the people live here. hope this helps

In: tequila cocktails, floral arrangements in the bathroom, wearing your crossbody bag in combination with a canvas tote, kissing your friends on the cheek to say goodbye, vegetable lasagna, getting some of your groceries from the corner store, short hair, calling instead of texting, homemade compote, dark denim, hanging postcards on the wall, pottery, lollipops, leisurely walks, sparkling water, the colour navy, full fat dairy, going to the cinema on a Monday, only following people you like, chocolate boxes instead of bars, bucket hats, optimism, sunshine, crying if you want to, turning off Screentime, black coffee, linen, DIY around the house, gifting jewellery, sharing music

Out: irony, bubble baths, Azelia Banks screenshots, political podcasts, wealth hoarding, Instagram, taking fitness seriously, feeling guilty over food, Succession, NY media outlets, fatshaming, being subtle, seafood especially lobsters and squid, swallowing your words, buying full price, accepting unnecessary rudeness, revealing clothes when you don’t actually want to wear them, being overtly grateful because it’s expected, complicated skincare routines, narcissistic friends, FOMO, tiny bags

I wish there was a way I could seal this post in amber so that an intelligent being millions of years in the future could unearth and study it
