You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.

Hoping that the next test the universe sends me is seeing if I can handle a so so sexy demon who encourages and funds all the weird and fun creative projects I want to do, and who goes “oh wowww, so nice, so cool” when I show them what I created

by the way bro, you're not obligated to do anything here. It's your space. You don't need to be here all the time. You don't need to reply to every reply or DM. Mute, block, whatever at will. It's a great place to connect with cool new people. But protect your peace along the way however you need to

- science is real
- books are magic portals
- pants are always optional
- squirrels are little demons

Why don't we tell people to "put a sock in it" anymore? It's objectively the funniest way to tell someone to shut up!

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…
It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

I don't use ai for inspiration. I don't use ai to write. I don't use ai for anything. I simply sit and WRITE. Because it's MINE. Because I LOVE it. And if it gets tough, I just keep WRITING.

Update; I’ve applied to the position 🫢
I think I might need to be talked out of doing something stupid.
Looking at remote jobs and found a forbidden romance writer’s position; 10 chapters a week min 1200 words max 1500.
Last time I signed a contract like this I burned myself out for two years 😭😭

We don’t want AI slop.
Stop sending us AI slop.
Stop wasting our time with AI slop.
It doesn’t sound good.
It’s antithetical to our core values.
