The Weekly Dispatch:
I Thought I Wanted To Be Special,
Turns Out I Just Want To Feel Good.
Somewhere between reaching my mid-30s and booking in more routine skin checks, something in me shifted. I used to chase things that looked impressive: the title, the chaos, the story-worthy version of my life. Now I crave low-stimulation workdays, quiet moments with my own thoughts (or a podcast), and a skincare routine that doesn’t involve the internet watching me get ready. I used to want to be known. Now I just want to feel regulated.
Tray of the week, No. 1
A casual sampling of what I’ve seen, clicked, worn, avoided, and emotionally spiralled about this week. Like the self-serve section of my brain. Grab a tray, dig in.
📱 An app I deleted (again).
🖥️ A tab I can’t close.
🧸 An object I touched and put back down.
💭 A shower thought.
💌 A semi-romantic thought.
