It's been an emotionally draining week and now I just want to focus on uplifting things. Like the outfit of the day: a pine green pullover I found last week in a thrift shop, black jeans, red Docs, (fake) pearl earring and necklace, pink bracelet I made myself, and a bit of lip gloss.

Speaking of uplifting, Mixed Up by #theCure has been the soundtrack of the week, 'cause it's one of the few albums with the capacity to make me feel weightless. #SongsToMakeYouPersevere

Be well, friends 💜️

In the late 2000s I lived in an amazing city. Every weekend I used to go out either to a queer/gay, techno or soul club, and just dance all night long. However, those nights always started with me dancing my heart out to this song.

#CocteauTwins was such a huge part of the sound of my teenage nights. Talk about times of perseverance.

I've been off my meds for a while now, which has made me terribly tired and some old habits resurface. Like taking a nap in the afternoon while listening to music, with a little black panther around my feet and a little lynx against my chest.
