I saw this today while doom-scrolling through TikTok. The video itself got me emotional, but then I opened the comments and was hit with a million feelings and thoughts at once. Nostalgia is cruel and one of the most beautiful experiences in the world. I don’t want to CONSTANTLY be mourning the simpler times. That’s why I’ve been loving Lavish Made. It’s a version of this same feeling but in modern times. It’s somewhere where we can feel simpler but still adapted to our technology and modernisms in 2025. I saw @JaylinGoings post this morning about deleting TikTok- and it got me thinking about doing the same. I think my fear is missing important information or news, but that’s just the thing. We have other ways of finding news and information happening in the world. I’ve been considering switching to a flip phone for a break, along with signing up for the paper delivery service, and trying to replicate the 90s/early 2000s as closely as I can without sacrificing our modern ways too much. What are your thoughts, friends? What can we do as a Lavish community to bring those feelings of bliss and slowness to modern times? What things would you like to see brought to Lavish? #lavishmade

def in the mood to write and think today

Thought of the day: Should I delete instagram and move over to LavishMade full time? I love it here. I don’t have to spend my time doomscrolling pointless superficial content or having Fomo. But also a girl can dream about instagram monetization right? 😅 no? Yeah, probably not. I also love the feature of having music behind your post, does LM have that? Pry TikTok from my cold dead hands, this close 🤏🏼 to some sort of monetization on there.

Reading a scary one this week! Happy Halloween 🎃

Currently watching "IT: Welcome to Derry"

Last night after talking to @Jeff Richardson about ghosts and our personal paranormal experiences, we had a vintage lantern fly off the shelf during dinner. This morning I’m curling my hair in the bathroom with the door open to watch Aubrey, and an old doll flys off the radio. Am I freaking out???? Maybe?! 😂🫣

Submitted my 4 chapter very short "One-Take" horror Halloween story for the Halloween contest! This was soooooo fun to write! One take stories are such a challenge. I didn't read or edit anything until I hit post! I can't wait to see everyones submissions!

I’ve been reading the weird and the eerie and one of the essays mentioned the band “The Fall” so I’ve been diving into their work!!

Just finished watching "We Summon the Darkness" (2019)
