I watched The Three Colours trilogy by Krzysztof Kieślowski and I need something similar:

-reflective, intellectual and/or melancholic

-set in Paris 90s (or later but I need that special charm)

-beautiful cinematography

Thank you!

Edit: I watched amélie - love it!

I have adhd so it don't know how long I'll remain interested in this lol but what affordable camera would you recommend for bird photos?

Smoke gets in your eyes - Caitlin Doughty (all her books honestly)

I'm curious! If you want, you can leave here your favs and I'll make assumptions about you. I'm bored so...hehe

I had many moments in my life when I had to do things while being scared, stressed, and anxious as hell. I quit my corporate job because of it. My current job used to feel safe for me. But things have changed suddenly and I became responsible for tasks that make me nauseous just thinking of them. I don't want to continue doing things that leave me in such mental pain. I'm tired. I opened up to my colleagues but it was in vain. They didn't understand.

There was a period when I had no job but had money saved up. And I realized that living like this and pursuing my hobbies rather than my actual career gave me peace of mind. And this thought is both painful and comforting. Is there even a job for me? Why being scared while doing things is considered normal for us? Is not wanting to live like this even a rational desire? Everyone is saying that fear is permanent. And it is. But what if I would rather avoid doing things that give me that fear? What if there were too many moments when I felt terribly? Am I weak? Or is that actually the right thing to do?

I'm so confused right now. I know nothing. I know less than I did in my teens.

I quit my corporate job a couple months ago because I was going crazy. I cried every single day, before countless calls, after countless calls, on sundays I felt like this dread is creeping up on me. I mostly liked the job but I had to be everyone and everything all at once + always be in a good mood, make small talk, and avoid mistakes. But I made mistakes because I was under constant stress. My bosses were bad at managing and communication but the core of the problem was often my tiny mistake lol. For some reason though my colleagues while admitting that we were in complete chaos, stayed and kept going. It annoyed me how they were always smiling at each other and making jokes every single time after one more scandal.

So I quit after 6 months. I had a hard time admitting that this job was not good for me. I thought I'd get better. I thought it's a challenge and I needed to win. I didn't.

And now they've hired someone else, and everyone seems to like her, she's good, she's doing more than i did (things I wanted to do but had no energy for). And now I'm sad. Why? I'm also angry. I never planned to return there. And yet I'm sad that I failed to become like her.

I take classes in the studio but I need to practice at home ofc and the thing is I dont have much space in my house. I'm scared and kinda embarrassed to dance in public places. How did you start? How was it for you?

I'm looking for crime/detective series that would give a feeling of a rainy gloomy weather. I love scandinavian but I'll look up all recs!

Series I've watched:

True detective

The bridge (Bron/Broen) - loved and want smth similar

The killing (scandinavian)

The chestnut man

Mindhunter

Broadchurch

Mare of Easttown

Criminal (all countries versions)

The Valhalla murders

Dark (it's my fav but I'm looking for crime, not supernatural; smth like those mentioned above)

Edit: I know about sharp objects but I want to read a book first 🤸‍♀️🤸‍♀️

But please NO Little Life recs. I'm not that crazy

Edit: and no russians 🙏
