Finally moved back into an apartment of my own again (37yo) and really wanted my place to feel like a creative sanctuary away from the outside world... someplace I could both relax in and feel inspired by.
It won't be everyone's thing, but it couldn't feel more like home to me!
EDIT: Because a lot of people have been asking!
- I have done psychedelics in the past and used to smoke a lot, but these days I am overwhelmingly sober about 95% of the time. I'll enjoy some wine or shisha socially, and consume an absurd amount of caffeine, but anything else is a rare treat saved for vacations, trips and special moments, maybe a handful of times a year if that.
- I got these items from all sorts of places - Amazon, Goodwill, Farmer's Markets, Temu, Flea Markets, Home Goods, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Friends, some stuff is homemade. I have zero shame about any of it. If I like it, I like it!
- My orange cat is named Kako (short for Kakarot) and he just the most cuddly guy ever. I have a little girl black cat (you can barely see her on the couch) named Pan. She's also super adorable, but a bit of a spoiled princess haha.
- I don't have dreads. I'm actually bald, fairly muscular and keep a relatively trim beard. I've got a few piercings. I commented with my picture but it may have gotten swallowed in traffic, haha.
- I really like high fantasy, esotericism, astrology, polarity, world religions, psychology, astrology, tarot, music, dark romance and psychedelic vibes. I'm a musician, enjoy hitting the gym, going to music festivals and am a D&D nerd and theater kid.
- The lights are RGB and cool to the touch. They can be adjusted to be "normal", but I really like the way the soft colors blend together, which I find super relaxing. I don't leave the candles going constantly, and don't leave them unattended.
- The toilet has a neat little RGB light in it. You can find them lots of places for not much money.
- I don't do hexes, curses, blessings or palm reading. My magickal affinity mostly lies in chaos magick, astrology and tarot - which I regard as psychological tools best used for self reflection and the reinforcement of will, first and foremost.
- I am single (and also cismale and heterosexual - which I understand may be a question), and I would absolutely love to meet a woman who is likeminded, chill and creative. I would love to date a musician. But with that said, I am also very down to make new likeminded and chill platonic friends!
Lastly I want to say this post REALLY blew up! Which I find so surprising. Definitely a first for me, with a lot of mixed reactions (which I expected) but I'm really happy with just how many of you were into it, enthusiastic and supportive - the majority of you, really. The rest either being able to appreciate it despite differences, or a couple, haters - but the haters were also funny.
I don't take myself or life too seriously, and neither should you! Life is short. All these skulls and skeletons make sure I don't forget that.
So remember to be have fun, laugh, do some things that make you smile with people you love and try to laugh at the rest!
