MONDAY 8:13 a.m. Ugh I’m awake. But I was supposed to get up at 7 to write and slept through my alarm. I always love writing in the morning before anyone texts. Had a weird Sunday. Went to bed at like 3 so I slept basically not at all. Annoying. 9:00 a.m.
I feel seen, in seeing you. Is it because I’m an Aries?! A poet who wants to write novels? The sharing, the overthinking then regretting it. “It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found.” Paradox indeed.

“2017 is the year I became a new person.” Loved. I devoured this in the waiting room at the doctor’s office. So moved by the aspects of friendship in here. And how poems continue to fit themselves in your world even though you’re working on prose. More please <3
I’m super into this format. The not-quite-stream-of-conscious. The edited for snapshot worthiness. The emotional vulnerability. Also. I had to look up Raya because I stopped being cool when I left NYC in 2017.
Love the beautiful ways readers have responded In the comments here (apart from the homophobic ones). Clearly lots of wonderful writers appreciating the skill of another writer. ❤️
I love this!!! It reminds me a bit of what I'm doing with my voice blog from my car on the way to my subbing jobs and then posting it on Substack later that day or a day late but soooo much better. What a window into your life. So honest and authentic. I felt like I was there with you. Please keep writing. Will be subscribing.
I really enjoyed this window into your life and the authenticity and vulnerability. Also very relatable which is kind of major considering my life is vastly different than yours. Thank you for sharing!
Have no desire to hear the sick thoughts of a gay guy who has no clue that he isn’t the center of the universe. Get over yourself get out and be productive
This is so validating to read.
So much poetry in the mundane 🫶🏻🖤 thank you my heart melted quiet a few times with these noted. Vulnerability can be so lonely and I know
I really love this format. It’s making me think more about how I can both record my day-to-day and be vulnerable with others more often.

I started reading this during my planning period at school and lived in it the rest of the day.
Brave enough to allow strangers to gaze at your world. Holding onto fragile moments...............................

I love diary entries like this! I’ve been reading Alan Rickman’s diaries, and they are just like this!

I can’t believe I read this whole thing
Was drawn in by your writing. FYI autocorrect must have changed “conceited” to “conceded” on you.
