reflecting on various topics
hi tw: probably far too personal so on the topic of masking… I can think about it all day. it was all very intellectually manageable. but I don’t know how to do it, and fundamentally am not sure I want to. I think I’ve survived throughout life with “when in doubt, be yourself,” which hasn’t …
it warranted a post
Green tea is never a bad idea. I watched a video earlier this week that I couldn’t stop watching. It wouldn’t let me share directly so here is a link to it on Instagram – it’s @evan.plays.dulcimer playing “Across the Stars” (Anakin & Padme’s theme from Star Wars: Episode II- Attack of the Clones) – …
I had a realization when I woke up this morning. It probably will sound very naive. My realization is that I’ve idealized a certain version of integrity in which all layers of a person match. It’s not a bad thing. My realization is that it isn’t the only way that is genuine or that is …

Atticus’ Anthem was a little bit vulnerable for me to post on the internet. anyway hi and I hope you’re having a good Sunday! I’m enjoying some bread with cream cheese, which is a treat. For a while I couldn’t eat cream cheese. Now I can again. How wonderful! I don’t know, I might run …
If you are looking for a sign to stop reading my blog, congratulations, you’ve reached it. This happened. He really needed me to up the ante in the song department, to be fair. It was time to bring in some harmonies. (in my room, the beach boys. atticus’s version. sheet music on prev post)
you really shouldn’t listen to this. I’m just figuring out how to use Audacity still. I just sit on my bed because otherwise I’ll stress out and I just need to have fun. Computer built-in mic. There are plenty of mistakes. Would be better if I used a keyboard or a metronome or something but …
