Substack!

i love reading through everyone’s stream of consciousness! it‘s old-school blogging before social media became hyper-focused on trying to sell you shit.
i will create one once i get over my personal hang ups and embarrassment…

hormonal and sad --> Substack

Whenever I feel especially overwhelmed, I have to write my feelings out, usually on Substack. I hardly ever post on Substack, but I want to try to post more and be less hard on myself when I'm writing for fun.

how to not go insane when dating

easy: delete the apps, stop dating, consider the things you find interesting/attractive in others and just do those things yourself, hangout with friends, read a book, take a class, take a walk, drink some coffee, drink some water, visit the beach, visit a museum, go to the movies, go to the club, go to bed.

bring back gatekeeping

(except for me, tell me everything)
tired of all your favorite spots getting overrun and unaffordable? the answer is simple: stop telling random ass people about them, and absolutely, under no circumstances, should you make a damn tiktok about it.
