Hey I Need to Tell You Something
Here’s my truth. Sometimes I think, I would love to fuck off completely and live a simple life. Away from all the excess bullshit of the outside world. But preferably within walking distance to my closest friends and family. Whether it be in a cottage somewhere in the countryside, a one bedroom apartment in the ... Read more
The Importance of Hibernating & Doing Less
Sooo here’s the thing! I love the motivational, energetic high that the new year brings. But also! That doesn’t mean you need to go from 0 to 100 in January. And burn out in two weeks. You can take little baby steps. Or none at all! Honestly, I think January-and the cold months in general, ... Read more
2024 – New Year, New Reality. (but only if you want it)
Hellooo 2024. As someone who habitually leaves everything behind in exchange for a whole new life every two years (due to the inconvenient fact that “fresh starts” re-awaken every inch of my dopamine-deprived soul in a way that nothing else ever has), the beginning of a new year is my shit. And I know that ... Read more
I Don’t Want to “Hop on a Call”, I Want to Stop Pretending
My opinion of the modern world is that the majority of what’s expected of us in life is unnecessary, overcomplicated bullshit. I respond to most of life’s demands with,”What. Why. This is all so stupid.” And fine! I do nitpick the hell out of everything! But what bothers me is inauthenticity. Anything excessive or performative ... Read more
Like a Drifter, I was Born to Walk Alone
To quote Hercules…the one from the, critically-acclaimed (by me. Shoutout to that hot bitch, Meg, who basically shaped my entire personality growing up) movie, Hercules (1997), “Sometimes I feel like I really don’t belong here. Like I’m supposed to be some place else.” I feel that. Never feeling like I belonged anywhere. But maybe I ... Read more
You’re Not Patrick Bateman, You’re Jared Leto’s Attempt at The Joker
Misanthrope: a person who dislikes humankind and avoids human society.I’d say, “LMAO ME,” but I dislike and avoid people who do that. Kidding. Although, I do find the apathetic hater aesthetic super fucking cringe. Oh you’re just soo edgy and cool, aren’t you? You think you’re Patrick Bateman but really you’re Jared Leto’s attempt at ...

Just Rambling 10/26/23
October 25, 2023 It seems like the internet is really getting off to productivity right now. Full-on climaxing over how productive and “optimized” they can make themselves as if their entire value stems from how busy they are and how hard they work. I think sometimes people feel the need to make things more difficult ... Read more
You Can Go Your Own Way
For someone who, for the most part, is uninterested in most of what the world has to offer, life can feel so incredibly boring at times. Especially during the unavoidable limbo phase between whatever new hobby or person I’m fixated on for 2 weeks. It’s a cycle. I’m completely wrapped up in something…or someone (rare ... Read more
September + October Journal
Ok let me preface this journal/post by informing you that the vibes here are god-awful. Like…negative, dark, evil, low-vibrational-whatever the fuck the health and wellness bitches would call it. So if you’re seeking bright rainbow sunny positive energy, exit out of this, open Youtube, and do a guided meditation or something. Because you won’t get ... Read more
First Impressions Don’t Matter, and Love Isn’t Blind
“First impressions matter!” …to who? To me? Maybe if I was a dumb bitch who couldn’t fathom the fact that people are multi-dimensional then sure! Do people stress the importance of first impressions because they actually think that way or because they believe they should? I think most of the phrases people toss around on ... Read more
