I'm very excited about moving in a few days and I keep thinking of all the good habits I'll start when I move. It's classic delusional behavior. "Oh I'll start working out when I move" "When I move it'll be different and I'll wake up early and refreshed!" I was thinking about everything I want to start doing and I realized it sounded like a Whole Foods Gwyneth Paltrow Patrick Batemen. Then I figured out I'm the same age as Patrick Batemen. So, now this:
I live in a one bedroom apartment in Savannah, Georgia. My name is Liz and I am 27 years old. I start the day with warm water with lemon. It is the best way to start the day. Then I practice Dr Weil's 4-7-8 breathing technique during a 10 minute meditation while always engaging my core. My core is always engaged. Multitasking is important. I go for a brisk jog around the park. Then I take a cold shower to close all of my pores. In the shower I will use a gentle face wash and a harsh facial scrub. Afterwards I apply Glossier's Priming Moisturizer then an Instant Pore Eraser. I only use Glossier's Stretch Concealer and a tinted lip balm because my look appears effortless. There is an idea of Liz, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me. Only an entity, something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can like my Instagram posts and maybe you can even sense our life styles are probably comparable, I simply am not there.
