Sometimes the knowledge that I’ve written three books hits me out of nowhere and I genuinely think to myself, “How? How did I do that while also doing everything else?” It almost becomes this vague, ephemeral memory.
Anyway. My writing process? Entering a trance state.

Rhea White once wrote to Margaret Anderson and asked, “Buddy, did you breathe me into being?” and I come back to that sentence time and time again when I try to explain the impact Rhea has had on me. 💫 📝

My gift to myself for my 40th will be boudoir photos incorporating my books. 😏 🤓 📚 🤫
But the real question is, should I also incorporate my Macho Man t-shirt?

Update: managed to sleep. Also dreamt about sitting in the living room at my grandparent’s old house while a random guy did push ups in the corner.
Connected?
Obviously.

Wearing my Macho Man t-shirt helps with anxiety, so……do we think it will also help with insomnia? (Checking laundry basket, will report back later).

I get these little pockets of weeks where I dream intensely of numbers/letters. Last night it returned and I dreamt of “5742, 11, and 12.”
I also tried to write the letter “g,” but wrote “f” and had to fix it. F,G - effigy??
I can’t help but wonder how to weave these dreams into ritual. 💫

Why, at the exact moment I ended my livestream discussing Exceptional Human Experience, did something in my kitchen fall over? Coincidence? Orrrr was it a test?? Hehe.
I see you, Rhea. Stick around as long as you’d like, you’re always welcome here

Also, b/c I’m more unhinged here than elsewhere I’ll also admit that sometimes I sit in bed with my Diet Coke and a little snack and cry a tiny bit about how I’ll never be able to ask Rhea White her thoughts on David Lynch or Max Medina (adding this to next week’s therapy list). #CancerianThings

Real talk: my therapist today also said, “I think it sounds like you’re burnt out.”
Anyone else who’s been professionally (and even a smidge personally) burnt out, what helped you?? 💫 🙏🏻
(Of course this will also be ongoing chats with my therapist, and happy to share if it can help folks).

Today my therapist said, “So if you have this magickal mindset, does that mean there isn’t anywhere that you aren’t meant to be?”
If you need me, sorry, my brain has melted 😳 🤯 💫 🔮

Sad Girl Magic Spell ™️: upon concluding an ugly cry and wiping your tears with the nearest takeout napkins, open IG and the first thing you’ll see is Michael Sheen.
Worked for me. Maybe it’ll work for you. For extra magickal flair, whisper ‘saddle up, Sheenie’ just before opening the app. 💫

I just…….umm, sent this to the wrong number on accident. Holy smokes. Do I follow up with an ‘omg I’m so sorry,’ or do I just hope it lands in the hands of a fellow Swiftie?? 🫣 ☠️ 💃 🙃

As an academic who also super loves pop culture, I spend a lot of time thinking things like: “Nandor Fodor’s top 2 Taylor Swift albums would absolutely be Tortured Poets Dept followed by The Life of a Showgirl.”

Cousins and aunts today asked about my upcoming book with smiles on their faces and excitement in their eyes, and I mentally catalog and archive every single one of these (not-so) little reminders that this too is love.
