Hello! It is Wednesday! Drink more water, tell the people you care about that you care about them, pet a floof, stretch, take a nap just because, look up at the sky and find shapes in the clouds, pay a compliment to a random stranger, take a walk, take a breath, take some time for yourself.

An unintended consequence of weaning myself off Twitter is that because it was my main social media of choice I have effectively weaned myself off posting on the internet at large, which means I am one step closer to my final hermit form wherein I simply disappear into a cave never to return

I just had the mind boggling realisation that September is this Friday and I need to lie down. Who allowed this. How is it already the last third of 2023 when I’m still processing 2020

Because I have personally been dealing with a lot of…everything…writing has felt like the equivalent of mental constipation for MONTHS now, and tonight I finally turned in a thing, and it is actually pretty damn good, and I am proud of it, and of myself.
And now I will sleep for the next two days.
