  • What the future looks like for me

    I’m not a successful adult. If you measure success by money, then I am a completely hopeless case. Someone offered me a job in the entertainment industry this year with a salary of $78,000 annually. You know why I didn’t take it? They were making AI content. I once interviewed for a celebrity gossip blog… Read more

  • If I fail

    Recently, I keep on thinking about failing. I graduate in December, and then there’s all of this family stuff going on. And it’s family stuff that, if it went well, would completely change things for me. But if it goes terribly, I am still stuck exactly where I’m at, with no foreseeable way of getting… Read more

  • Turned in my fellowship application

    I turned in my fellowship application. I did the resume, wrote the scripts, and the essay all by myself. I was genuinely pleased because normally, I talk myself out of things. But I ACTUALLY DID IT. I sent it in and everything. If I get in, I would be a screenwriter for Disney. I’ve always… Read more

  • In which I cleaned my room today

    I live in the top floor of an apartment building. It gets hot in the Summer. Right now, I have three little fans going and even with that, I am still sweating most of the time. Ages ago, my Mom got me a portable air conditioning unit for my apartment. Every year, we have to… Read more

  • Procrastinating

    I’ve been procrastinating. I’m writing a script for the Disney Writers Fellowship. It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time and now that I’ll have my degree in December, I’m able to apply for it. However, the thing of it is, I am the kind of person who is used to not having things work… Read more

  • Anxiety and cashiering

    I work as a cashier. The thing of it is, it’s a simple job. I ring up customers and I make chit chat and it’s not that big of a deal. The problem is that I have social anxiety. Which means that I am anxious ALL of the time because cashiering is a social activity.… Read more

  • Instagram and hate comments

    I made a comment the other day on someone’s art, saying, “This is what it feels like to be neurodivergent as an adult.” It was a comic with someone that seemed to be talking about feeling like an adult but also not really. There’s lots of things that can make someone feel like this. I… Read more

  • Anthony Bourdain

    There’s a movie coming out called Tony about Anthony Bourdain. Those of us millennial’s have a reverence for Bourdain because we grew up watching him on television. While news anchors everywhere demonized people internationally, Bourdain took us into their world and taught us to have empathy for them. He was the kind of guy you… Read more

  • On 2016

    I will not romanticize 2016. 2016 was the year I lost friends. I had moved to the middle of nowhere in 2009, bounced around and bounced back. In the 2010s, with Obama as President, things were hopeful. Even if you hadn’t voted for him (I wasn’t brave enough yet to not vote the way my… Read more
