One of the most frustrating things about being in a Writing MFA program at almost 40 yo is having professors who still have audacity to treat you like u r fresh out of ur undergrad & do not know yourself as a person or an artist; and it’s their ‘calling’ to steer u in the ‘right’ direction. Mental.

I’ll take accountability for this misdeed at the gym tomorrow.

A bucket of KFC cos I’m stressed but grown.

Bought my first bean bag today in which I intend to spend my entire summer, reading and drinking manhattans.

Ramen at 2am cos jet lag. 😮‍💨😩😭

Coffee and fortune cookies for breakfast. No Lawson. No Family Mart. No 7-Eleven. Japan, I miss you already! 😮‍💨😩😭

Nothing like traveling from Japan back to the US for 18 hours and coming home to water running down from the ceiling in my bathroom 🤬🤬🤬

For how busy and chaotic Tokyo is, it is the cleanest, most organized city I’ve visited. It’s truly incredible.

Being in Japan for a week is a much needed breath of fresh air, escape from the madness and the never-ending, chaotic news cycles. 😮‍💨

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.

oh hey sorry I didn’t engage with you over whatever it was you were howling at me about, I was having a nice day instead

A lil Bailey’s in my midday coffee… all good.

Dunkin shaping their doughnuts as hearts for the month of February feels particularly gaslight-y when you’ve been single for a while. 🍩😮‍💨🥹

What should I watch first thing Saturday morning to momentarily distract myself from the state of the world instead of drinking battery acid to cope?

Congrats!! 👏🏼🔥

Watching #HappyValley for the first time, and BBC just know how to create compelling, thrilling crime mini series with complex central characters. Obsessed!
