i got a dehydrator from a friend and this thing shouldn’t entertain me as much as it does. i can dry so many things!

i found an apartment in LA that i really love 🥹

it’s a bit out of my price range but i think i could make it work.

i haven’t had my application accepted yet but i’m kind of already imagining a life there. gonna be so sad if it doesn’t work out.

i feel like i haven’t had words for a while now and i don’t really know why. stories just don’t flow like they used to. all i can write are these dumb little stream of consciousness journals

Following the example of @aaronburch.bsky.social and reading a short story per day. Figured I’d start with here.
