how vividly you describe ache of desire and weight of self judgement. from shoe, to consumerism, then books and music you consume and again ending with shoe. i love this transitions. you are genius. you are splendid aruuu!! Loveee loveee loveee

beautiful arunima, at first I was like yea consumerism, guilt of buying something just for yourself without a given reason and I am in awe of how seamlessly you pivoted from there and made me walk through everything without thinking about the title, which influences the content so much. you have also mentioned some of my favourite songs here!!

amazing work like always babe!🩷

Brooo this is so beautiful, like first I was noddinh with every line like yess consumerism, yes expensive things create grief and how you turned it to music consumption of each other so brilliant🫶🏻

Your writing has that sense of originality in it, in no way did I think I would connect cannibalism (metaphorically) to buying burgundy shoes😭🙏🏻

This is so goated I want to restack a lot but my post is already dead so I will probably tommorow:((

Just know I really loved this❤️

I thought this was going to be about over-consumption, instead it became a smooth ride from the guilt of spending, shaping ourselves around the media we consume, Christmas nostalgia to how we consume parts of people too! Felt like I was inside your mind, following the trail of your thoughts! Also, I got some new song recommendations! Yayy! 🫶
