I've planned to write and self-publish my ✨ debut ✨ in a couple of years' time, before I turn thirty. Tell me why I'm starting to write out scenes when I'm already working on a separate project. *face palm*

I’ve spent the past two days trying to come ‘round with the aftermath of my seizure. This afternoon, I’ve gotta have bloods taken at the hospital. More dodgy lighting, chance of another seizure. 🥹🤏🏼

As of today, my middle name is officially and legally Cate. I’ve been estranged from my paternal side for as long as I knew them; the final knot tying them to me has been cut. ❤️🩹

I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that writing projects do not write themselves. The only way Out™️—AKA typing The End—is through. 😓

Anyone else with sleep apnea feel as though sleeping is a chore when they’re wearing their mask? Absolutely nothing about it feels natural, IMO.

According to my schedule, I should be asleep. Instead, I’m cutting out cardboard flowers for a project I’m making for my best friend. 🌸

Do any of my followers happen to also be guinea pig parents? My two boys have lived together for the past three years but have recently started to rumble strut and lunge at each other. They’ll settle sometimes, but not often. Should I separate them? 🥺

I’ve had the ugliest split courtesy of EUPD. Taken quetiapine and diazepam and now I’m as high as a kite. 😭😂
