At 42, I still can't seem to figure out my identity.

I just want to write my way through life.
With all the #angeltreegate stuff, I feel so shitty.

Everyone is saying if you don't have the money to help a lot, you shouldn't take a tag.

I think back to all the years we grabbed tags and bought two or three presents per kid and thought it was okay.

So, I fucked up multiple kids xmases... :(

I will never accidentally come up with a better tag line.

I haven't been able ro write lately. I hate when my brain takes away the things I love.

I realize a lot of my problems wouldn't exist if I would have just listened to baz lurhmann in the nineties.

Relaxing doesn't feel like self-care when you're worried about the dishes.

The phrase "I don't want to yuck your yum, but..." doesn't sit well with me.
From now on, I will be saying "I don't want to kill your dog, but..."

I'm starting to think no one wants to publish a book about teenage girls awkwardly taking down online pedos except me.

My friend's book is getting such great reviews!

I try to avoid AI, but then I started giving it pictures of me and asking it to make me beautiful.
Good to know my skin is a big part of my ugly.

Prediction: all the late night hosts will be fired.
They will then start their own streaming platform that will be so popular they will be accused of killing cable.

One of my pet peeves is people who think they've won because i just can't be bothered.

Got my first rejection on my novel.
Is it my imagination, or are rejection emails nicer now?

I post a lot for someone with nothing to say.

Nothing more invisible than an ugly, disabled 40-somerhing.

I just used AI to try and make myself beautiful, only afterwards realizing this is how AI becomes corrupted.

Just your average making-stalking-sexy trope.

The dog did nothing wrong. He is a good boy.

I need to follow accounts with cute animals or something to fix my algorithm.

Radiohead always told me I did it to myself...

This going to bed at a reasonable hour thing is not working as well as I would have hoped.

Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.
But too much of a bad thing is not a good thing.
So nothing really officially leads to good things.
