My Day as, not a Puppy, but an angel

hello beautiful angels, princes, and people of the Hot Literati Digital and irl universe

I guess the thing that i'm trying to get at at this point in my life is that life is a marathon, or like trying to walk on water and that you can't look down, or else you fall and settle for a path that isn't yours.

When I used to lie next to my ex on the precipice of our breakup during my stretch as a twenty-one year old tradwife, i used to hear this voice in my head that said "i won't be a ball of unfulfilled desires."

This morning, I roamed around the East Village after a four mile run, listening to Roy Orbison. I went to Porto Rico to get my favorite coffee and met a one-eyed shih tzu who I saw later in the day, reading in the park.

I just finished brushing my hair. Now, that is, not this morning. When I don't brush my hair, I get this funny feeling in my head. My old shih tzu used to get upset between his grooming appointments because his hair would get matted and he couldn't run around. I feel like that when I don't brush my hair and it gets all tangled.

I've met so many people lately that my people map of New York is connecting. I hear the same names from different mouths or see the same faces at different events. I am even using Linked In correctly these days.

Mental Maps are a really cool concept. A tech founder I once dated was the first to tell me about them. But he didn't have delayed gratification as a skill. One time I tried to get him to read an article and he put it into Chat GPT to summarize it, instead. He is one of the few people I have blocked, for better.

Yesterday, I went to an event at a big PR firm called Golin. I had a very nice piece of bread, a small one, with ricotta and broccoli. I met this really cool guy who does social media satire. I am trying to have more fun with my own social media satire.

I spoke briefly to the author of Share of Culture, a nice man named Paul Parton.

I've gone to a lot of open mics. I can share some of my favorites, but there's a funny graph, the same graph there is with everything, where the first week almost no one is there and then word gets out and then you're twentieth on the list all of a sudden.

I guess the thing i'm trying to say is that I like to be alone, until i don't. And like the kid in all of my home videos, I like to perform, and if everyone is looking at their phones, I guess it's good to perform there too. I did my first Twitch livestream the other day and the viewers were actually so so nice.

You just gotta have a good time, you know?
