There’s no reason to live the hard version of your life. I often say “I’m tired of being me.” But there is so much I can change. I’ve started taking those steps in 2024 and I hope they bear fruit in 2025. I’ve been trying to change for a while. But coping is not the same thing as fixing.

I want to make a 2025 vision board and that’s why I’m sharing all my goals, to hold myself more accountable.

But my friend cancelled her board making party without really telling us (I asked about an update and she said it wasn’t happening) and that’s why I was complaining about being flaked on.

2025 goal: pick up writing again.

I always feel compelled to write when in my hometown or on vacation. I used to think that maybe it was because I had more free time, but I’m wondering if it’s because only then do I feel “comfortable” enough to express my thoughts.

(Which, for the record, are not particularly unique or eloquent.)

2025 goal: not need a different personality for different situations.

I just wanna be a version of myself I can be proud of anywhere at anytime

2025 goal: be happy

2025 goal: improve my workplace “persona” and be more professional

2025 goal: complain less

2025 goal is to be the kind of person I want to be friends with

Like why is flakiness as a mental illness symptom so normalized and expected but clinginess is not?

Why is it fine to take weeks to text someone back but as soon as you triple text, you’re the problem?

I get you have to be vulnerable to make friends which opens yourself up to disappointment and pain.

I do my best to accommodate other people’s mental illnesses and moods

But it sucks being flaked on. Even if I had nothing to do with it, could I have been a better friend to make their life easier?

Why is the Apple weather app so inaccurate? It says it’s partly cloudy right now but it’s POURING rain!

What if I actually started posting pictures of myself here? Instagram is too scary lol

What the fuck do you mean you’re a 50-something-year-old author and your quotes aren’t any better than those of a brokenhearted teenager from the 2012 tumblr era

every time I make a new social media account, I am making the critical choice of either being my uncensored and multifaceted self, or using it as an opportunity to brand myself in a specific and slightly more mature way

i'm marginally funnier making static content (tweets/skeets/memes) than I am making videos and reels so if this little app catches on, it may be the start of something new
