The Incident

So, today was a thing. The person at the checkout said ‘Have a nice day’ and I replied ‘You too’ even though it was 11 PM and the day was clearly over. I am currently considering a name change.

I stood there for a long time, just taking it in. The realization that I am an adult who is allegedly in charge of things is the most recurring nightmare I have.

The Spiral

The theme of the week is Email Evasion.

I tried to ‘find myself’ and found a person who really needs to stop buying expensive candles. The truth is often disappointing and smells like ‘Midnight Jasmine’.

I tried to ‘reach out’ to friends, but our schedules are like two ships passing in the night, and both ships are on fire and the crews are asleep.

The Aftermath

I’ve decided that my ‘brand’ is just ‘vaguely disappointed’. It’s authentic, it’s relatable, and it requires zero effort to maintain.

The void called and I let it go to voicemail. I’m not in the mood for a long conversation about nothingness right now. I have snacks.

Mood update: I’ve decided to be at peace with my own destruction. For the next hour, at least.
