Used typewriter. Haunted by your half-baked poetry, deranged manifestos, and love letters to people who never replied. I just post the residue.
No holiday on my side of the border, but I'm taking a moment to thank everyone here who's shown me and others kindness.
You make this chaotic space feel like it has pockets of warmth, and like the world might be better than it pretends to be.

I've heard so many lies this week that I'm starting to grade them for creativity. Most people aren't even trying.

What I love most are the people who don't take kindness for granted.
They show up with gratitude and meet vulnerability with gentleness.
In a climate that often rewards indifference, their politeness feels like a small miracle.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

A second elderly lady asked me to walk her across the street today. I am now wondering if there's some secret grandmother network passing around my description.

When I have an afternoon appointment, I can't seem to start anything big or small. I just hover in existential standby mode.

There are days when the smallest things feel emotionally loaded. It could be a song, a sentence, or a memory I didn't know I was carrying.
I hate how easily the tears rise, but maybe that's just proof I'm still feeling my way through the world instead of shutting down.

When someone knocks on my front door, I shout "Occupied!" and let them figure out what that means.

Sometimes I let someone finish a long story before telling them I wasn't listening.

A new notebook always looks so proud of itself, like it truly believes I'll fill it with brilliance instead of crooked doodles and panic lists.

I keep buying new pens because each one promises to make me a different person. So far, all they've done is make me someone with too many pens.

The worst part of being diminished by someone close is realizing they knew the power of their words and used it anyway.
That's why you hold your own words with care. They can either build a person or break them.

The cruelty of being diminished by someone close is that they know your history. They know the old scars and still press there.
We're supposed to guard the people we love, not cast shadows over them.

I forgot my Apple Watch during my workout today.
My heart was pounding, but according to the universe, I was basically napping.

I made coffee this morning, got distracted by emails, and found it an hour later. It tasted like procrastination and mild disappointment... so basically, like me.

I found these 3 oz bottles and thought they would be perfect for holiday entertaining.
Each one contains a pre-mixed drink.
N for Negroni. M for Manhattan.
I might just do the whole alphabet!

I like to keep all my loose pens in one drawer so they can whisper among themselves about why I never finish anything.

Winter looks peaceful from a distance, like it has its life together.
But the moment I step into slush, I realize winter is just as messy as the rest of us.

I don't trust easily because every time I've handed someone the benefit of the doubt, they've returned it scratched and missing pieces.
