 Lowkey forgot about this, but I must lock in again. Dinner ended up being my least favorite food (pork barbecue, sorry if this offends anyone). So I regret not just stopping for a damn chicken sandwich. 

I’ve had a busy break already. My sister had a dance competition in Washington, DC, so I came as her chaperone. It was pretty fun. I got to be her makeup artist as well, which I always enjoy. Since I moved from here, I don’t really do that work anymore unless I happen to be in town during homecoming or prom season. I used to always do my sister’s dance makeup. She loved it and said she felt like a celebrity.

Now I’m home dog sitting for most of the week and trying to come up with fun things to do aside from my responsibilities. I’ve been thinking about trying to make sourdough. I like watching sourdough tutorials and it could be a cool thing to get into since I already like baking so much. Starter takes weeks to make though so I hit up a local sourdough bakery on instagram and asked if I could get a bit of theirs. They said yes! So I’m getting that tomorrow morning and beginning my experimentation.

Today, I made eggs and some blueberry french toast for breakfast. Then, I took on the arduous task of bathing 3 dogs, all of whom HATE being bathed. It’s so hard because they don’t understand that it’s good for them, so they look at me like they hate me. And by that I mean, they don’t look at me at all. Mocha was the most scared and I had to save her for last. Mocha would rather stare at a wall than face me as I scrub her from top to bottom. Afterwards, she just looked upset and violated. Two treats was not enough and I am still getting the silent treatment. 

After that, I had to take a long shower and deep clean the wet dog scent off. I’ve gotta do laundry and clean my brother’s bathroom (sorry Santiago, but at least you get to be in Hawaii right now). Now I’m sitting down and eating a chicken bowl with rice, kale, feta, avocado, beans, grilled corn and cilantro lime salsa. I picked it up from a local place and it’s definitely my favorite meal to get at home. The best part is they’re pretty big, so this will also be my dinner tonight.

I learned a terrible secret and now I can't go on

Author’s Note: This is my personal love letter to r/nosleep lol. I tried to insert as many references to the tropes found in so many of these horror stories that strive for believability. The beginning especially was highly inspired by the dramatically read youtube videos I used to watch as a kid. I definitely cut it a bit short bc it was almost 10 pages, so towards the end it might feel a but rushed, but maybe sometime I’ll expand and post it to the subreddit myself.

Labyrinth

Image
The internet is a labyrinth. Dead ends and pathways. Infinite and alluring. It is inescapable. Its walls of knowledge towering overhead and casting their shadow on my face. To it, I am small. An insect with an insatiable hunger to learn and answer all of the questions that fill my mind. It is maddening; trying to make my way to its center; knowing my answer is out there but the journey seeming never ending. Distractions and rabbit holes to fall down at every angle. I must steel myself and resist their appeal, if not, I will become lost. I will forget why I even entered the labyrinth to begin with. I hold my question in my mind and turn back around, desperate to find the center. The answer that will make this journey worth it. I travel further and further in, just to reach wall after wall. Typing into the search bar new ways to phrase or approach my question, which unlock and reveal to me new spiraling corridors of articles, links, videos, images, and more questions. I am determined, th...

Dreams and Fears

Image
Soft breathing played from the phone’s speaker, her own personal white noise. Eyes closed in the pitch dark, she could almost feel the hot air against the back of her neck. A small snort and breathy murmur emitted and she held back a giggle. He was fast asleep. There was something about the vulnerability. The talking and gradual intermittent yawns. The slurring. The eyelids no longer able to part. But neither person willing to say goodnight and end it. Warmth filled her belly, fireflies illuminating a dark cave. The all-encompassing darkness of the room wrapped around her like a tight embrace. When she opened her eyes, all of her familiar surroundings were gone. She was outside. She didn’t remember how she got there, nor did she remember not being there. The air was heavy and she was shrouded by ancient-looking trees. It was eerily quiet, other than the occasional breeze flowing through and tickling the leaves. The sky was colorless. Not dark, but entirely devoid of clouds, stars, or a...
