  • In which I made honor roll

    I’m a 35-year-old college student. My memory index is kind of warped from trauma, which means sometimes I only remember certain things. I was never a bad student, but I wasn’t exactly a serious one either. I had it in my head that I was going to be a writer, so I never really focused…

  • Weird things I did

    I e-mailed someone I don’t know about family trauma who will probably think I’m crazy for doing so. Sorry in advanced, just trying to figure shit out. I swear.

  • Working

    It’s not like I don’t want to be a good employee. I’d love to be able to come to work, be pleasant, and do my job. But I get there, and I can’t stop thinking about every interaction that I have. Was I nice enough? Should I be nicer? Did I accidentally insult someone without…

  • He was a character

    And you cut off bits of our family history like a bad editor who doesn’t understand our back story he’s a character you say oh, he was a character he was the villain and you all refused to look and listen it was all there it was all there you just never fucking cared

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • 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…
