Just Another Fangirl

It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

this is actually really helpful and affirming thanks

*in tears* Thanks kitty, I needed this...

The fastest way to accomplish The Project is to cease being afraid of The Project. The Project cannot maim you. The Project cannot kill you. The Project is more afraid of you than you are of it. It is okay if The Project turns out differently from how it was in your head, and it is okay if it has flaws. You are capable of engaging with The Project.

horror movies are so much scarier when the actors look like an average sampling of the human population. and the house is a little messy

when everyone has veneers and the house is pristine and tastefully decorated: (in the front of my mind) these people had it coming

i bring a "technically i could do this tomorrow" energy to things that tomorrow me really resents

I thought this was litmag poetry for a second.

You're the third person in the notes to say this is like poetry and re-reading it I agree!! The kind of synonymous parallelism that it's structured around has a long history in lots of poetry traditions, like biblical Hebrew. But the stiltedness (what are "bright panes" and "sunny openings" other than a forced replacement for "large windows"?) and the overuse of the parallelisms here just make the advertising language feel super hollow. It's this array of utopian homes that are described with a bunch of interchangeable virtues because they don't exist. It's kind of amazing.
