My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.

Not Everything Is Simple. (Except Me—I’m Perfect.)

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

We were meant to create not to consume. That's why we are sad when we do nothing.

Great discussions

Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.

It’s honestly pretty sad when you think about it.

There are people out there who spend their time focused on me — picking apart everything I say and do online.

Not working on their dreams.

Not building anything of their own.

Just sitting there, criticizing someone who’s actually out here trying.

I don’t say this out of anger.

No convincing necessary.

It's all threats and bullying now.

They don't give a shit whether people buy it anymore. They just want to crush dissent.

Yep I've yet to hear a table near me at a restaurant or pub discuss the effectiveness of the vaccine and that it's a great invention for the world.

I have on the other hand heard many at a table near me discussing the 'WTF is going on' version of the vaccine rollout.

I'm so frustrated. I live in NYCity. My building is a coop with many of us residents over 65--one of the highly vaccinated age groups. Our mayor has imposed severe restrictions on unvaccinated residents: no indoor entertainment, no gyms, no tennis courts, no movies, no restaurants, no theater, no sports activities. As he says, "New York is a great city, but you don't deserve to enjoy it if you are unvaccinated." WOW. And most of this city's highly Democratic constituency are fine with the…

I live in NYC also. It is truly appalling, all of it, but especially the enthusiasm for jabbing kids, and a perfect example of the extreme and growing degeneracy of the entire area.
