I Hope This Reaches The Target Audience:

i'm in the throes of being okay

Mary Oliver, "Don't Hesitate." Devotions

"Beautiful Losers", Leonard Cohen

i really should've listened to my gut feeling but i jump at the opportunity of being loved like a pathetic little dog jumping to reach the treat they will never get cause the person holding it is just trying to make them do dumb little tricks for their own entertainment

my favorite thing to do with my friends is film them like they're in a documentary when they start doing political discourse in the middle of the hangout

chat how do i kill the desire to be wanted and chosen before it kills me

we need to slow down a little I'm so serious. all these quick short videos on tiktok, ig reels, and youtube, artists releasing quick little songs for the trend, tv shows releasing episodes at once, people using chat gpt and google ai overview because they get answers quickly but no validation done for the source, we need to sloww downn i really do not think our brains should be running this fast
