Valentine
Valentine's Days is a daily life archive and a place to practice writing. I write straight into the post editor and publish with minimal editing, all to fight my biggest enemy as a writer: embarrassment. I am cringe but I am free. I do not use AI to write. Please do not use my blog for generative AI purposes.

Thursday: Back seat of your parents' car, wearing your mother's clothes, sleeping on a long ride like you haven't done since you were a teenager. The wake shows you your family like a hall of mirrors. Your teeth smile back at you in...
Starting a new thing on this blog because I've been getting really into finding new music as a method of procrastination lately. I've gotten into so many genres and artists over the years, but I love how the world is so big that I'll...
Coming back to this blog feels like sneaking into my own apartment, trying to be quiet, even though this is my apartment. I guess that's just how it feels to come back from internet death. I didn't mean to disappear for the whole of...

Lately I've been trying, and failing, to think of what to say when I come back to this blog. I'm not leaving (I like blogging far too much!), but I have made myself rather scarce lately. But what is there to write about? The urge to...
...and a bassist. And a guitarist. And a...ukulelist? Up until I started college, strings were my thing. Whatever it was, I had probably tried it. My family never hesitated to let the kids try whatever they wanted to try, as long as it...
Well, yesterday, more accurately. It's an extremely ungodly hour of the night and I haven't managed to sleep. I recently scolded one of my younger friends (one of the ones who are like little sisters) about her awful habits, but I've...
Tuesday evening. I need to do the dishes, but I want to sit down and write first. I went shopping for toiletries yesterday and school supplies today, so I'm a bit appalled at how fast money's been flying out of my hands. I definitely...
I'm back in the city again, starting my internship! I need to reevaluate my wardrobe—all my clothes are either lab-inappropriate or just straight up heatstroke-causing, which is bad because I'll be doing a lot of running around campus...
Home again from college, with a now three-day headache. I never really got over the motion sickness from the bus; I'm one of those people who have to get knocked out immediately because you can't be sick if you're not awake....
