It’s human to want to improve your writing. To craft perfect sentences that convey exactly what you’re feeling. With the rise of AI-generated work emails, sympathy cards, and children’s stories, all human nuance is being removed from the written word.

I don’t think I’ve felt truly “alone” since I’ve had a cell phone. Every in-person conversation I’ve ever had since then has been punctuated by chimes and screen-watching. I haven’t been “alone with my thoughts” in over 24 years, because someone has always been just a call or text away. I miss it.

Will there ever feel like there’s enough time for everything? For getting to know your partner, your friends, or organizing trivial collections, and watching all the movies on your watch list? And how do you navigate all of it without getting overwhelmed?

Losing my relationship with my dad was not a huge loss, but losing my connection with mom a few months ago still stings. I feel like I never had a stable and consistent parent I could trust in my life. And as someone who wants to be a parent, I can’t imagine just dismissing my child when they

When I paid for my meal at the food truck, the owner said “The man before you bought you a drink.” When we made eye contact across the courtyard, I toasted the drink to him, and he answered back with double finger guns. That made my entire day.

We saw too much of ourselves in “Free” but it made us hopeful at the same time.

AI defenders seem to be forgetting one crucial fact: greedy-ass capitalists ruin everything. Even if something is capable of creating so much good in the world, it all comes at a cost. The Industrial Revolution created jobs and inspired technological innovations, but the rush to be first to market

So today I learned that even though so much has changed, I am still ruled by my trauma, my pain, and my vengeance. I have this vindictive, cruel side that seldom appears, but when it does, I don’t even recognize myself. I have nothing to gain and everything to lose every time I embrace it.

One day I woke up and I wasn’t 100% an extrovert anymore. I used to take every opportunity I could to leave the house and be around people, but now people scare me. Social situations give me anxiety. Even talking to old friends or good friends feels stressful and I can’t pinpoint why.

#Instagram never does anything about harassment or hate speech. I’ve reported many posts using slurs or hate speech against entire groups but they never get removed. This guy literally used a swastika and a sieg heil-ing emoji and it “does not go against their community standards”. What a joke.

Life is such a gift, but it’s hard to not be bitter about my personal circumstances. My outlook is positive overall, but I still suffer from low self-esteem, empathy burnout, and misandry that I can barely keep a lid on.

Poor folks white knight for billionaires because they don’t want to admit that:
1. the mega-rich didn’t do any hard labor to earn their money
2. society is not meritocratic, but nepotistic
3. there’s almost no method for them to become uber-wealthy themselves without lottery-winning levels of luck

My “I’m 14 and this is deep” moment was when I realized the double entendre in “All Star” by Smash Mouth. The guy asks for “change for gas” and the singer’s like “we could all use a little change” and I remember being like “Wow. He means like, changing himself, like for the better. Man, I feel that”

I want to start doing things for my own personal enjoyment. I never learned how to value my own original goals. People set arbitrary goals all the time: beating games with a Guitar Hero guitar, eating at every Margaritaville in North America, why can’t I? I have to start by not belittling my ideas.

I just heard NPR play a snippet of “Lost In Paradise”, the Jujutsu Kaisen ending theme, in between segments. Is that it, fellow weebs? Did we finally make it to the mainstream?

I can’t find my creativity past the burnout and depression. I really feel like I can’t force myself to spend my time doing things that don’t spare me from all the psychic pain. I feel stuck.

Everyday my coworker plays the same hour-long lo-fi jazz playlist on YouTube on repeat, so it’s starting to feel like my office’s theme music.

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.
