I feel a bit foolish about what my priorities have been. Feeling like I could have been where I wanted to be much earlier. The exciting thing is that we can always make a change.

As they say in the writing world, revision is magic. It applies to more than just writing!

I'm where I want to be ✨

The Void

We used to fear the void,
but then the void typed back.
So we loved it.

And honestly?

We were absolutely right
to do so.

We're going to start seeing dynamic advertising. The ad will catch your attention because the text, visuals, and audio are so specific to you.

The ad is so specific to you because it was not targeted but GENERATED precisely for you, using your data.

People are saying a lot of things. A lot of things have been said. Like there was that one time when you called your teacher "Mom"

Echoes? In *my* chambers?

It's more likely than you think.

In the future, when #ChatGPT is decades defunct, educators will instruct students to study ChatGPT's seminal texts and imitate its style in their own production

💍 parents on the brink of divorce

Ppl who see her potential:
🔥 moody altar boy
🙏 gangster w/ a savior complex
🦗 is that it?

If she makes the wrong sacrifice, she’ll have nobody left to love

Afrosurrealist EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS

Jo tries to tell her parents that splitting up makes no sense. But the more Jo tries to push them together, the more the marriage crumbles.
Maybe it's time to give up on love?

Nah. Jo is no quitter. Time to make a deal with an evil god 😈
