I just saw a post listing a bunch of old websites and I thought it was so cool to look at! I think anyone on this website can attest to how fun it is finding old internet remnants. It reminded me of a regular at the coffee shop I work at. His name is Jeff. I figure I can say his first name since it's pretty common and still ensures his privacy. He comes in every day and gets either coffee or some ... » Continue Reading
I'm thinking about doing a no/low buy year next year! If you don't know what that means, you essentially challenge yourself to spend as little money as possible. I like it because I hope to be more mindful of the things I really need versus the impulse buys I find myself doing. I'm hoping to accumulate less stuff in 2024, which means that to me, food and "Experiences," (Like movies, trips, etc) ar... » Continue Reading
I heard that some social media platforms like Instagram and Tiktok are considering a paid ad-free subscription. I saw a bunch of comments saying they'd just delete social media at that point if the ads are bad enough to justify a subscription and that made me wonder if we're maybe (Finally) seeing the end of a societal dependency on social networking. Honestly, it sounds so relieving to finally no... » Continue Reading

My first crush was Sonic the Hedgehog. Yes, really. I also remember at one point pretending to marry Mario, but then I also felt bad for Luigi and Toad so I was marrying them too (I understand now that that's messed up but I was 5 so cut me some slack LOL) » Continue Reading
What's you guys' favorite way to pamper yourselves? I feel like lately my way of showing myself self-love is by buying stuff but that's obviously gonna break the bank if I'm not careful lol. So what's your favorite way to show yourself self love? I personally love doing face masks, masks etc, doing yoga, meditating, tarot readings, stuff like that » Continue Reading
Almost April now, I drive with the windows down. Even the sunshine and sweet air carry guilt and discomfort. The thing with grief is that it seeps into everything. If I try hard enough, even the keyboard I am typing on is you. (It reminds me of my old keyboard that I used to type on during zoom calls in painting class together.) And of course, on this 50-degree Monday, stopped at a 4-way, my ant... » Continue Reading
Slumped in my little cave of doubt, I hope that I show you my love enough. I’m not good at writing what I have. I’m good at writing what could have been and what is no longer there. But just know that you were the spelunker who found themselves carving deep within me. You dared to traverse my ancient unrefined stalagmites, And you weaved your way through them with only the type of compassion a sou... » Continue Reading
In that room, I was a cocoon. Though you were there, wrapped around me, I around you, My fingers weaved through your course hair. My fingers gripping at your red scalp, I saw the red. I pulled you closer but wished you’d just go away. Because each inch you drew closer to me, Each inch the gap closed, My life squeezed out to make more room for you. Because you had convinced me that I only needed yo... » Continue Reading

A group of girls is passionate, Above all else. It is a snap of the fingers to get the ball rolling. I met you a month ago; I’d do anything for you. It is heavy, honey flavored: You are so much more than you seem. It is mud-covered escapades through unknown territory: We will get through this together. It is ravenous longing: What do I lack that they do not? It is gentle regrowth: You lack nothing... » Continue Reading
