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.

hey! thank you very much to all my readers for making “it’s time to leave Joe Biden the fuck alone” my first post to receive ten thousand likes!
I'm not overly concerned about the NYT poll right now simply because it's May, but at this point, I've just made peace with a potential Donald Trump win. If Americans decide to elect Donald Trump despite the fact that he isn't a serious person, he attempted a coup, he sexually abuses women and is he probably going to be a felon at the end of the month, I think that's on us as Americans more than Joe Biden and his campaign. We're not a serious electorate already (which is how we ended up with Kari Lake, Dr. Oz, and Doug Mastriano as 2022 nominees), and that'll be even more apparent if Biden loses.
