Cycle of trauma continues 'cause my mom just asked me for a recipe and I had to tell her I don't measure anything

I am no longer 24 and I did not work on my novel 😔

I know my cup is refilling because I have an INCREDIBLY strong urge to craft

Why are FMCs allowed to like food but not allowed to gain weight #booksky

Maybe this is the motivation I need to get my own substack going

Got an editing gig for a local musician's substack 🥳

I mean those were certainly some choices then 😭😭💀

I'm soooo behind on my reading goal i might just hate read it 😭

Started reading Artemis by Andy Weir (whose other books I've loved)
