SAD GURLZ LUV MONEY.

The first time I heard this song, I was scrolling through TikTok. I was instantly in a trance, imagining myself in my full power surrounded by money. After a year of working less than minimum wage on film sets, it was the escape I needed. It almost became a mantra. I thought about my life and what I wanted most. “Money doesn’t buy happiness”. Maybe not, but it buys options. And with options comes choosing the life you want to build. I’d been thinking about this song nonstop since December, and wanted to capture what it meant to me. I thought of purple and pearls instantly. Purple is rich, the color of royalty and luxury. Pearls, although beautiful and expensive, are made very very slowly and under pressure. I’ve always felt behind my peers and friends, even if I don’t show it. I constantly put a lot of pressure on myself and work in an environment that did the same, if not more. So, yeah.
pearls are perfect.
