I’ll just warn you now that this is going to be long. I may get even cut off and have to make more than one comment (assuming they have a limit on here...guess Im about to find out.

•I have an ongoing “OVERRATED” list, pretty self-explanatory I think. Measurements is on their twice, once in literal terms (like body size), and the other is more broad. It covers so much, but when I wrote it down I was specifically thinking about it related to so-called “normalcy” and all the standards society has placed upon us (both of those are also on the list). If I ever make a Substack, that would be a good name “...is Overrated.”

•”Embrace the And” is something I say all the fucking time now, mostly to myself. (It is also what I’d planned on calling said Substack when I was seriously considering it until I did a search a week ago only to realize someone has taken it. The nerve!)

•“Wanna know why I avoid writing most of the time? I DON’T WANNA FEEL.” I’ve never been a writer (it was my least favorite thing and worst subject in school), and have thought that had to do with why I hate journaling. This made me really wish some sort of “backspace” button existed in your mind to erase things you read to instantly forget. I felt like a lightbulb went off. How have I not realized this by now?

Hey, I didn’t get cut off! Sorry for taking over your post. 🫶🏼
