Poetic and powerful and all encompassing of how fucked up our human emotions can be. Richard Gadd, ‘Donny Dunn’, said something to the effect of: I hated myself more than I loved her, and I loved her a whole lot.
Shit, I felt that.
I found myself pausing the show many times to digest what I was watching on the TV screen. A man grappling with so much trauma, trauma in every form that comes from being stalked, abused, sexually, mentally, physically, the heavy drug use, a man grappling with his sexuality.
Again: Shit, I felt that.
The powerful monologue, episode six is what got me to write anything about this show. Not that it matters what I write. There will be far more eloquent and well articulated reviewers out there, but I feel so strongly about what I saw.
It touched me in a way. The depravity, the idea of being such a glut (should i just say slut?) for attention and validation.
So yes, with that powerful sentiment, I will just leave that there.
My ideas are so disjointed, they always are, but I will always try best to capture it in one way or another.
Welcome back to me, writing.

”What if nobody likes my story?” Well do you like it? Your story will always have at least one fan. Write for yourself and the right audience will come along.

Style, what style? I ask myself as I listlessly scroll online shopping. I think it is frustrating I don't have a particular look just hobo home attire, work clothes and dressy pieces in between.

my toxic writer trait is I will talk about a really interesting premise and people will get excited for it and then I never write the story to go with it

So much love!
I have so much admiration for those who have these amazing writing wips, built in fantastical worlds. Making something out of nothing, being so passionate about a project to actually follow it through? that is very special to me.

and if I get a tattoo for every book that I write. something small and sweet. just something to both celebrate it and as a constant reminder. I think that'd rock actually

Round Two no work, no worries?
I have for a long time been trying to write a short story, fiction, and I can never bring myself to finish, because there is the feeling of what is next? am I writing accurately? then the epiphany! yes, I can write, just not fiction. and instead, non fiction, I can write about my life because I know my life and my feelings the best - no one can fault it, but who is going to care about reading about my life?
Also, lifestyle writer? I cannot be a lifestyle writer because what kind of life would I be writing about? sleeping in, self-loathing, carb loading and endless doom scrolling put on rinse, dry and repeat? Hardly any zest there.
unemployment round two loses it spark after the first lay off. At first it have a novelty to it. you wake up and the world is your oyster, how should I spend my days? maybe take myself out for coffee, go to a books shop, public libraries, try to write (start a blog, from a cafe, how quaint!), cook, paint, colour in and even start an f45 trial... but by the second time you lose your job, the motivation.. it ceases to exist, or at least that is what happened in my case.
dread, here we are again, i cant be bothered doing all those extra curricular activities but without it I have ended up with nothing but a few more kilos around the waist and an in-describable boredom permeating day to day.

Things that annoy me that aren't life altering or monumental, just really, annoying:
weakened, easily breakable nails - the type that eventuate from one too many SNS or shellac manicures and the residual bad manicure I give myself, cutting or picking at my nails at all wonky, too short angles.
the sniffles when you are on public transport, without tissues and you are seated in close proximity to other commuters who you know are secretly judging you
sweating more than necessary after minimal physical activity and not being able to fix it
Receiving promotion emails or texts from places that you thought you opted out of.. more than once
Reading into a fair portion of a book to then realise you hate it, can't be assed to finish it and have to eventually abandon it after much self denial that you will finish the book, 'give it a chance'
telling myself it is good to be writing even if it is seemingly pointless stuff, just to praxtice writing, telllng self not to overthink it only to spiral into an writing existential crisis (is anything actually 'worth it?')
semi cold food after you microwaved it for what you thought would be a proficient time.
In the same vein as the latter, coffee just made that is luke warm or too bitter and is in a large size.

Imagine if you were a business owner... what would your business be?
You bit the bullet, you decided being risk averse was for losersss (totally not, because that is literally me now teehee) and you decided to start a business. I have been listening to a number of 'lady start up' podcast episodes (i.e. podcasts about female founded or co-founded businesses) and every ep, I think, what if, just what if, I did start a business, but what kind? Is there anything really innovative or super passionate I am about?
Well first to jump to mind: books, food, napping (ooh maybe a weighted blanket business with unique minimalist art designs???)
Then there are the shark tank episodes I watch which makes me think what gap in the market would I fill?
A subscription box of some type?
Stationery - meh
Plushies - meh (seasonal themes ofc)
Monthly Office essentials - tea, mug, candle, pens, post it and someother random stress ball, desk trinket - double meh?
Jewellery subscription box
Graphic t-shirt sub box (clothing based box)
just some Sunday afternoon thoughts, because what else is there to do?

Arguments for an against watching How to Get Away with Murder
Asking the important questions: Is it worth watching 'How to get away with Murder'? all six seasons, episodes 45 mins, with give or take 16 episodes a pop?
That is a commitment, one I must think through before throwing myself into the abyss of clients, acquittals, feigned innocence and grisly, twisted guilt...
I have made it to season two of the saucy crime drama and have some following notes:
Legal concept of: 'Conflict of interest' does not exist in this dramatised world - representing a case in which your husband is a prime suspect and student's girlfriend is one too, is no issue in this series.
An excess of sexy sex, steamy kissing scenes. Additional points awarded for queer/gay representation.
On that note, diversity in the cast is present, so that's refreshing...
Annalise Keating is played by the admirable Viola Davis (who epitomises 'unapologetically fierce boss woman' and plays it really well)
Apparent convoluted plot line at times, so it can feel a bit of a drag
Affair central - everyone is having one, like its a biscuit or something.
Having a constant source of episodes to dip into as a 'go-to' is comforting in the age of indecision
The twists and turns kind of like a cheap thrill keeps me coming back.
Having separate court matters being played out interspersed with the 'convoluted plot line' makes it more bearable.
that's all for now, I trust there are more points to follow in due time.
