In
Prioritizing rest like it’s a deadline.
Oversized coats and woolen scarves
Espresso and a red lip.
Hoar frost and warm toned Christmas lights
Writing by lamplight, with tea that’s gone cold
Italian airlean streaks and foreign films without subtitles.
Rewearing your favorite outfit twice in one week.
Slow running days, not record-breaking ones.
Cheesy ass holiday movies and bingo
Red wine and chocolate cake
Ribbed sweaters and impromptu bangs
Little women and my hatch alarm clock
Committing to the bit and ugly Christmas sweaters
Out
performative “self-care”
burnout disguised as ambition
critical theory and essays that make you cry
romanticizing exhaustion
the word “girlboss”
resolutions with no meaning
overspending on presents
Cold tones and beige Christmas
"luxury" brands that try to sell you basic shit
Dry skin and dead ends
Minus twenty and heroin chic being back in
