I dont know if this is just a me thing, but I find myself maladaptive daydreaming about living alone in a studio apartment a lot. My current housing situation is pretty toxic and stressful,not to mention, yesterday our boiler broke so the water in all the taps spins a roulette wheel before deciding if its going to be icy or scalding. Everything else is in varying stages of decrepit. That being said I've kind of gotten lost in the idea of what id do with the extra money of living alone. I know what kind of bedframe, pillows, wall art, and kitchenware I want, and even seeing a decent washing machine fills me with a kind of mundane longing that I feel I'm far too young to be experiencing (our washing machine doesn't work).
I'll buy a red enamel kettle, a nonstick pan, a wok, a good washing machine and a good fridge, good soap and shampoo, and a nice table to put my snake's terrarium on, I want one of those metal bedframes with good storage underneath, and I want Jenna Barton and Sachiko prints. I'll put up a really obscene pin-up because no one can stop me, and I'll buy a nice duvet. Ill buy a second hand dvd player, and a box tv from someone's garage, and a portable radio. I might even go vegetarian, who knows. I know these things seem really boring to a lot of people, but they are my ideals for life and the thought of being able to enjoy practical sensible amenities set up the way I want them and make a space my own, is the thing that keeps me from offing myself, so I wanted to share it incase anyone else finds this kind of stuff inspiring or motivating, or just funny. (oh! and I want a rice cooker, I cant cook rice for shit, it always comes out mushy yet somehow also undercooked, tell me how to cook rice and I'll love you forever)
