I dropped out. I barely have friends. I'm chronically ill. I have heart disease. Whatever happens in your life, I want you to know that losing yourself in a void of negativity, hatred, anger and all other negative feelings isn't the way to go. Surely, you're allowed to feel the way you feel, but don't stay too long in it. Take a walk. Take a deep breath in and breathe out. Write off those feelings and start to analyse them. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. I caused a lot of pain. I caused a lot of stress. There's no excuse for shitty behaviour. Absolutely not. The only way you could prove you changed is to seek help. Is to be a better human. I'm not sure how long I have to live, or what will happen to me. But I'm just keeping myself happy with the words I'm writing down.

fuck, i love The Pitt on hbo max so much. what will i do after i finish season 2?

love your mom.

I will be romanticizing February for the next 28 days. No exceptions. Everything will be romantic.

The thing I appreciate the most about the AI takeover is that it’s making social media so bad people are starting to return to the old ways: physical books, in person meet-ups, more writing, contemplation, and presence. The internet has become so synthetic and unreal it’s helping us come home to ourselves and appreciate what makes us human again.

“i remember” is more romantic than “i love you”

the secret to life really is to stop being so painfully self-aware and to just live

Plotting and outlining don't stifle creativity; when did we collectively buy into this idea? You have to be truly lost in the sauce not to recognize that crafting a narrative is an inherently creative act. Every writer’s process is different but good gods, quit shitting on plot. Thinking intentionally about story structure doesn't make somebody's work less artistic or worthwhile, please retire this take.

Unclear if people realize just how ridiculously low the bar is right now. In art, in love, in interpersonal dealings—merely being able to pay sustained attention, to notice small details, and to track idiosyncrasies is essentially a superpower. If you can stay present and resist the pull of the Machine, you are untouchable. Bonus points if you can raise kids to do the same.

I keep seeing people talk about Goodreads on here and just wanna remind yall that it is owned by Amazon/Jeff Bezos. StoryGraph, a Black woman owned app, has far superior features and you can migrate your Goodreads data into the app.

please don't be afraid to promote your work!!!!! people deserve to have the chance to see what you're creating!!!!!

Most of the time, we don’t just need answers. We need language for the ache. Words for the suffering. That’s what art gives us. That’s why poetry, paintings, essays, stories and songs are so powerful. Art doesn’t just give us solutions. It gives us a place to stand. And a way of making sense of the world around us.
