Things I Can't Stop Thinking About

6 things that kept me up past 1am in the month of May

It started with Kelly Rutherford’s sunglasses at 1am.

Not on purpose. I wasn’t researching anything. I was doing that thing where you’re not asleep but you’re also not making decisions, and suddenly you’ve spent hours going deep on the eyewear of a woman from Gossip Girl circa 2009 and ended up at a vintage Hermès rabbit hole that didn’t close until sometime around 3am with three browser tabs open and a very specific feeling of wanting.

This doesn’t happen for me often. But when inspiration strikes, it hits hard.

I have a running list … in my Notes app, in my head, in my open browser tabs… of things I can’t stop thinking about. Not think pieces. Not trends. Just the things that grabbed me by the collar and wouldn’t let go until I said them out loud to someone.

You’re that someone.
