…Does anyone else overthink this whole ‘social media’ thing? — Warning: this post discusses Anxiety What are you doing? Answer it!. They’re going to think you don’t care. Ugh, what are you saying? You sound stupid. Be nicer! Ew, no, not that nice — you’re simpering! Christ, did you actually hit ‘post’? But you were so awkward! OMG, can’t you…

A short spec-fic story — He stepped out onto the crystal deck. Unable — unwilling — to look through the refracted layers of light beneath his feet. It seemed so fantastical. A miracle of modern craftsmanship and engineering, they called it. He hated it. Layers of quartz and glass melded into one another to create…

I can’t keep doing the same thing over and over — Medium isn’t working for me. It’s time to shake things up a bit. At school, they used to make us do gymnastics in PE. Which sucked. Because I sucked at gymnastics, and our teachers weren’t really into the ‘teaching’ part of the job. One day they set up these mini-vault doohickies and some wooden boxes to jump onto. They only set up two, and there were 30 or 40 of us, so what we…

This is a weird one… I regret nothing. I regret everything. — We’re all just muddling through. We don’t know, do we, how things are supposed to go, how we’re supposed to be, what we’re supposed to be? Do you think we’re supposed to know?

Tomorrow’s journeys are too late for yesterday’s regrets cos they’re burning this prison down from the ground up and you gotta decide just which side you’re on cos if you wanna take a plea you…

Phew! Who’d’ve thunk it? — January saw my highest ever Medium earnings with over $20! I know, that sounds like pennies to a lot of people, but Jesus, that is so much for me on this site! I’ve never broken $10 before! In what has been a horrendous month for me in my personal life, I’ve had the best month ever on Medium. …I mean, it’s good, tbh. Because I did not have the spare energy or mental capacity to do anything outstanding this month.

Short story. Anna Sinclair takes what’s hers. — Content Warning: one potential drug reference. (Yes, I said ‘potential’ — it’s a little ambiguous, even to me 😅) Screw them. Who were they, anyway, to make her feel guilty? The Addison brothers had never had to work a day in their lives. Their daddy was old money. They had…
