I’ve been trying to write this post for about two years. Dropped out of participating on YLF. Lost having fun with fashion. Didn’t stop me from buying and churning. I was unmoored.
Work had been psychologically abusive in the last three years for a variety of reasons. I’ve been actively looking for a new landing place for at least two years.
My interest in clothes became reductive in the day to day, but still a means of (inadequate) self soothing hence the churn.
The light shone and the heavens opened and i landed a job that fulfills all my needs (psychological safety, intellectual stimulation, no-assholes policy of the people I work with). And an opp to live in a city mr bj1111 and I would joke about retiring to.
Anyhoo—I’ve rediscovered fun with fashion and learned more lessons about my preferences and persoectives about clothes.
Hoping you will allow me long discursive posts. Because…I think I’m back to myself. Or at least a version I recognize and like.
Missed you guys
