so I just bought a giant, decorative Chinese lantern for the upcoming celebration, even though I have no idea where I’m going to put it. I keep telling myself it’s to embrace the New Year vibes, but really, it was just a momentary escape from the piles of laundry and unreturned emails waiting for me at home. now it hangs awkwardly in my living room like a glowing reminder that I spend my life fill...
honestly, i accidentally liked a photo from 47 weeks ago. you know, the one where they looked genuinely happy, but now it feels like a lifetime of loneliness weighs on me. so, there i was, panicking because it felt like opening a time capsule that no one asked me to uncover. but really, maybe i needed to remind myself of that feeling, that fleeting joy, even if it was just an awkward thumbs-up on ...
