When I was in the grippy sock place, there was this one doctor who told me, “You’re going to go far in life because you know all these great words.”
I forgot about that moment for a while, but it’s been replaying in mind here lately. Sir, if you ever read this, you gave me hope. ♥️

What scares me about this whole divorce scenario is this — if we’re picking sides and collectively thinking Elon looks pretty good right now — that’s another massive shift right. Don’t fall for it. #elonandtrump

I wrote this knowing it wouldn’t be for everyone. I mostly wanted everyone who struggles with compulsive eating for reasons outside the norm to know that they’re not alone.

Still really hopeful that I won a Pushcart, despite the fact that it seems most of the winners have already been announced. 🫥 Was still quite honored for a nomination, either way. Fingers crossed. 📿

“Turn the page on Trump” is an instant pass for me with future Democratic candidates. I want revenge and retribution and justice on a Batman level.
