Upcoming...What's Actually Inside My EDC[08/07/2026] Inside My EDCBefore we begin, a quick disclaimer: this is not an aesthetic EDC, nor is it meant to be. I use what I already have, I replace items as they're used up, and the contents are constantly evolving. Could I optimize it? Absolutely. Could I buy matching containers and premium gear? Probably. But that's never been the goal. My EDC is a tool, not a display piece. That said, I'm always looking for ways to improve it. If you spot something that could be replaced with a better alternative—or if there's a small item you think would fit perfectly into this kit—I'd genuinely love to hear your suggestions. So, without further ado, here's everything that's currently inside my Everyday Carry (see the photos for reference). 
Some of these items solve problems I encounter regularly. Others haven't been used in months. But every single one has earned its place by answering a simple question: "Would I be happy to have this with me if the situation came up?" So far, the answer has almost always been yes. My Philosophy of Everyday Carry[07/08/2026] My Philosophy of Everyday CarryOne thing I like to do is separate my EDC from the things I know I'll carry every single day: my phone, wallet, and keys. Those are non-negotiable. Whether I'm going to work, meeting friends, or just running to the grocery store, they're coming with me regardless. I don't really consider them part of my EDC. To me, an EDC is what comes into play when I'm carrying a purse or a backpack because I'll be away from my "base"—home—for most of the day. Whatever I need has to fit inside that bag. This applies just as much in a city as it does in the countryside. Sure, there may be a convenience store a few blocks away, but is it really worth leaving the building you're in just because you need a match, a rubber band, or a safety pin? Those tiny inconveniences are exactly what an EDC is meant to solve. When I think about what belongs in my EDC, I usually divide it into three categories. The first is useful everyday items—things that solve the small inconveniences that pop up unexpectedly. The second is what I like to call improvisation tools. These aren't necessarily things you'll use every day, but they can become surprisingly useful in dozens of situations. If you've ever watched one of those "100 things you can do with a paperclip" videos, you'll know exactly what I mean. A simple rubber band can replace a broken hair tie, hold cables together, keep a notebook closed, or secure a package. Small, lightweight items often have the greatest versatility. The third category is emergency essentials: the things you hope you won't need but are incredibly grateful to have when the moment comes. Headache medicine, deodorant, a toothbrush, earplugs, a plastic bag... they're all the kinds of items that can instantly turn a bad situation into a manageable one. Of course, the boundaries between these categories aren't always clear, and that's okay. The important part isn't deciding which label an item belongs to—it's carrying it in the first place. For me, an EDC is ultimately about peace of mind. It's worth mentioning that my EDC isn't everything I carry. Large items like my umbrella, water bottle, or even my notebook don't fit inside my organizer, so I still have to remember to pack those separately. There are also categories that I intentionally leave out. Makeup, for example, usually isn't part of my EDC because I rarely wear it, and if I do, I keep it in a different pouch. Menstrual products are another example. They're important, but they take up more space than I'm willing to dedicate in this particular kit, so I carry them elsewhere when needed. These little decisions are what make an EDC personal. There's no universal checklist that works for everyone. One example is note-taking. I almost always carry a small notebook somewhere in my bag, but inside my EDC organizer I only keep a single sheet of paper. Most of the time I can write notes on my phone, and if I suddenly need paper—to leave a message, write directions, or lend someone a sheet—one page is usually enough. It's not a list of everything that's in my purse. It's the small pouch tucked inside my bag that I almost never have to open... until someone says, "Does anyone have a...?" And more often than not, I do. Every Day Carry: An Introduction[08/07/2026] Every Day Carry: An IntroductionEver since I was a child, I've probably spent a little too much time thinking about what to carry with me. I remember having a tiny purse that I would carefully pack before leaving the house. Every toy and every little object had a reason to be there. Looking back, I think that was my first Everyday Carry, even if I didn't know the term yet. Years later, as a teenager, YouTube introduced me to the idea of an EDC pouch: a small organizer filled with the essentials that you could simply move from one bag to another. No more wondering, "Did I forget something?" All the thinking had already been done once, and every day after that became much simpler. To me, that wasn't just convenient—it was peace of mind. Since then, I've discovered that there are surprisingly—and delightfully—many different philosophies surrounding Everyday Carry. For some people, an EDC means carrying only the absolute essentials: a phone, a wallet, keys, and maybe a Swiss Army knife or a multitool. Others seem prepared for an entire weekend camping expedition at a moment's notice, somehow fitting an astonishing amount of gear into a single backpack. Honestly, it's impressive. Over the years, I've found myself somewhere in the middle. I appreciate minimalism, but I also enjoy being prepared. My EDC has gradually evolved into something that reflects the way I live rather than following someone else's checklist. One of the biggest influences on how I think about Everyday Carry was the YouTube video Building a Rogue's Everyday Carry Kit. Instead of approaching EDC as a collection of gadgets, it takes inspiration from the Rogue class in Dungeons & Dragons and asks a different question: What kind of person are you trying to be? A rogue isn't just equipped—they're adaptable. They anticipate problems, improvise solutions, and always seem to have exactly the right tool at exactly the right moment. That perspective completely changed the way I thought about what belonged in my bag. Instead of carrying items because they were popular in the EDC community, I started carrying things that matched my lifestyle and the situations I actually encounter. So, what does my Everyday Carry look like? As someone who regularly moves between urban and rural environments, works in technology and creative fields, and genuinely enjoys being the person who can say, "Actually... I have one of those," my EDC has become a blend of practicality, preparedness, and a little bit of curiosity. Project Hail Mary Cosplay[07/02/2026] Tachan!I’m not sure this fully counts as cosplay since I wasn’t aiming for 100% screen accuracy, but I’m still claiming it because it finally lets me check it off my bucket list. Tachan! My first cosplay! I’ve done costumes before, and during the pandemic I even ended up in the “Hogwarts Professors” corner of TikTok (I still miss those simpler times). But this is the first time I’ve gone all in: looking for references, planning details, and actually trying to build a specific look from scratch. The timing made things a bit tricky. I watched the movie in March, and the event was in May. It had only just been released on Prime Video on July 2nd, which meant I didn’t have access to high-resolution stills or proper reference material while I was putting everything together. 
At first, I considered making one of the jumpsuits, and naturally the most clearly visible one in the film was the yellow suit. But I kept coming back to the red one. That was the look I really liked. Of course, the most iconic version is the one with Ryan Gosling wearing the “I had potential” black T-shirt, but I was convinced there was at least one scene where he wore the “Project Hail Mary” shirt underneath the red jumpsuit, and I really wanted that detail. Then came the patches. A kind soul on Tumblr shared replica versions (here), which helped a lot. And thanks to people filming at the Lincoln Square AMC screenings and uploading clips on Instagram, I was able to zoom in on extra details. Later, I rewatched the movie and confirmed it: I was right, the PHM shirt does appear under the red jumpsuit. Not everything was perfect, of course. My budget didn’t include new shoes, and I definitely wasn’t aiming for screen-perfect accuracy. But I’m genuinely happy with how it turned out. I do wish TikTok still felt like it used to, so I could make silly little videos again. Now it feels like anything I post just gets pushed toward people in my immediate area instead of the actual fandom community. Still, at least I ended up with a shirt I can wear casually, which is a nice bonus. But of course my soul went to making my rocky, isn´t it adorable? It needed to be easy to carry and I wanted him to be on his dome First entry![07/02/2026] HelloThis is me checking everything is working correctly but while I am on it we can say hi!.
