Went pottery painting with my sister yesterday and then stopped for a bite to eat after—I got crispy chicken with Korean bbq and sticky rice.

Trying to clean up my diet a bit so tonight me has chickpeas soaking. Tomorrow me has to deal with said chickpeas. Tomorrow me is not going to be happy about this.

Spiralling between existential dread and reckless optimism. Someone please unplug and replug society.
Stuck Between F*ck It and Fear
Trying to figure out whether I’m failing at life or just living through late-stage capitalism.

I spent about 3 hours yesterday evening teaching myself how to crochet a “beginner granny square“. In theory I know what I’m doing, it’s just getting my hands to cooperat that’s the problem 😂 It’s a bit addictive though so I might have picked up some new yarn too 🧶 #crochet

I started writing again. Trying to make sense of stillness, growth, and getting older.
