I might be alone in this, but I really like the thing when specific accessories and clothing insist on you adjusting your body language to them. Like if you get long arcylic nails, you need to hold your hands like people with long arcylic nails do. Long skirts that demand that you hold the hem in your hand while going up and down the stairs like you're in a historical drama. Suits that force you to look at how everyone else is keeping their hands because you can't just shove them in your pockets.

I recently got myself a broad-brimmed hat that I wear every day now, and my favourite thing about it is how on windy days, I have no choice but to grab it by the brim to keep it down lest a breeze would steal it, like it's the fucking 1800s and I own a horse.

“There are people we meet in life who miss being important to us by inches, days, or heartbeats. Another place or time or a different emotional frame of mind and we would willingly fall into their arms; gladly take up their challenges or invitation. But as it is, we encounter them when we are discontent or content and they are not. Whatever they are, we are not and vice versa. Two trains going in different directions that pass for a few powerful moments at full speed, blasting noise and wind but then they are gone. Whatever serious chemistry might have been possible if, isn’t.”
