a real little letter from the real little me (photo proof therein)
|
hey how are you? maybe it was because i did a photo of myself? so you knew it was the real me and not an impasta? two thingsthing oneidk if you saw but i published a new piece yesterday morning that i am really proud of called remember, dad, who we are? I wanted to publish it two days ago. but i also knew that this was sorta a thing i'd been doing for a while to let it simmer, marinate, and other words that are usually reserved for the cooking of meats. and so i did. and then i realized why i don't like to wait. because when you decide not to publish too early, you put yourself on the line like so: you, on the line now you really care needing it to be perfect i kept tweaking it wasn't so i decided, as my eyes kept closing and going double eyed from sleep depreciation, now was the time between too early that's cool. and if i can change so yea, whatever the thing is that you think you can't change i didn't mean for that to be such a direct lead in to the batcave maybe both are you can join by clicking here, the button below, or the ghost below the button
thing two - last batwrite recapwed night's batwrite was sorta amazing i did a 15 min stand up set which people liked. here's what they wrote in their lil feedback forms which really do mean the world: A perfect way to do my imperfect writing and life. There's great music and interesting, cool people joining in. Friendly group with a variety of projects. Talk a little, work or meditate, talk some more. It was a creative atmosphere and Alex was funny!✅️✅️ A space for procrastinators, friends, fellow writers and jokes, funny slides, ideas and encouragement! Comedy show and co-working session all in one. Love it. Step one. Encounter room full of earnest creators artists pecan pies. Step two. Laugh really fucking hard at Alex’s jokes. Step three. Feel permission wash over you and let your flow flow for an hour to expertly curated tunes. Step four. Pause. Step five. Resume flow at slightly higher BPM. Delight in the magic that eeks its way out of you. Step end. Chit chat and be mesmerized by EJ’s peepers. Feel grateful. here's the whole schedule oh i do have one little funny thing to end on - a surprise third thing! a surprise third thing god is a dog, |
Both Are True
