Chrystal

28, They/them

Chrystal: What brings me joy... sitting at home on a Sunday listening to records with my cats and my partner. Swimming. I've been really enjoying swimming recently, just in the beach — which I always kind of have. But I didn't swim very much last year, I think because of all the rain and stuff. I didn't really get out too much. But I've been swimming quite a bit this summer. And that's been great. Being in the ocean just makes me feel, makes my body feel so good.

Dorcas: Where do you go swimming?

Chrystal: Nowhere in particular, just wherever's closest. The closest to here would probably be Thirroul. Yeah, so down south a little bit.  I've been really enjoying that. I love being out in the garden. I love pottering around home and just dilly dallying. I find that I haven't had a lot of time to dilly dally in my life in the last, I don't know, ten years or so. I feel like I haven't properly rested in such a long time. So it's been really nice to slow down. Not really by choice, but just by circumstance. And all day yesterday, all I did was just wander around the house and unpack boxes that I hadn't unpacked in what nearly a year now. And just rearranged things. I loved it. I had such a good time. And I just missed doing that I miss being at home and being present. And just like not really thinking about anything and doing little mindless tasks and chores and keeping myself busy. Yeah, that brings me joy. Cooking, been loving cooking, and eating, of course, all the time. Also, I've been really into watching shitty reality TV. We've been watching Love Island. It's so funny. I love having time to do all those little things in life, that I often forget how much joy I get from them. You know?

I love Chrystal’s shoe collection as it encompasses two distinct cultural aesthetics: Pleaser boots and Nike TNs.
