stop listening to sad music
i get it, sometimes a bitch gotta wallow. but i believe that the music you listen to shapes your outlook. like yeah if all you listen to is midwest emo My Mom Hates Me And I Hate Her Too, sad indie “i miss my ex and he’s the only one that could understand me“ tunes, then maybe you won’t be the most optimistic person alive. pop some techno, eurodance, or really anything with strong beat and slightly positive lyrics (or no lyrics at all) into your headphones.

the study of time!
not in a scientific sense. how does time perception change cultures, how do we pass down knowledge via generations, why does making someone wait signal power and why do we get pissed off when someone waits six days to respond to our text messages? eventually i'm going to write a paper on this but way too busy as of right now. highly recommend

being kind of lame
society places too much pressure on everyone having their own style (but only in approved marketable categories), being hot and funny and interesting all the time. kind of a lot of pressure if you ask me. be yourself! even if you are lame as hell.

writing like you're hot shit on substack
exactly what it says, i'm pretending i'm girlinsides or catherine shannon in my private google doc, font comic sans, hot pink, size 13. obviously it will never see the light of day, sort of an exhibitionist exercise in self-indulgence, without having to actually, you know, be vulnerable online.
