…the only time I think I’ve ever really relaxed
in my entire life was for three minutes…
—— Nora Ephron, Heartburn
In my dreams: I have all five senses, intuition, emotions. Animals get old and die in a fish tank, I am a soldier putting together a machine gun in Lithuania and then I wake up groggy and confused.
I’ve always hated the Mandela Effect and Deja-Vu. It’s the same feeling I get about a Ouija board. It’s technically okay, but maybe not great. Same as war.
I enter “COMA” into the Tik Tok search bar as I sit in my pink, salt-filled tub. I watch one video. It’s all I need.

Obviously I throw my phone into the towel on the floor. I pick it back up and Google to factcheck. Jesus Christ, I think, it’s all possible. I sit back and fix my posture so I can breathe. I delete what I’ve written, I undo delete. I pet my sleeping curled up cat, he sneezes. My armpits and ears hurt again.
Woke up to tell someone to STFU! That's a boss move.
Incredibly humbling to know I am always 1 TikTok away from an existential crisis
