i thought i didn’t care, evidence points to the contrary
something i’ve noticed over the first week of blogging every day… i’ve recently been of the mind that i really don’t care what other people think i should be doing. but in writing these posts, something that keeps coming up is that i don’t feel like i am “allowed” to do or enjoy certain things.…

on existing while fat
a couple months back, i had a realization i’m honestly still coming to terms with. for so long, my unconscious belief was that you can’t be fat and pretty at the same time. and, i’ve always seen myself as pretty, so by extension i’ve never seen myself as fat. obviously, that is not true and…

i don’t know that growing a business on social media is what i really want to do.
almost every day i think about writing a facebook post or making an instagram reel or tiktok or something, voicing my frustration about this lightning-fast, gimme-dopamine-in-four-seconds-or-i’ll-keep-scrolling culture that social media has created. and then. i realize that it probably would never get seen by the people who actually need to see it. sure, some of…
