Influences and Inspirations
Hey Everybody! Thank you so much for checking out the stories and engaging with the world that I’m making. This has been super fun for me to experiment with writing creatively outside of the music space. After working so hard on these short fantasy stories, I wanted to take a step back and do a more personal exploration of where some of these ideas are coming from, some of my inspirations and some of the stuff that I really like. Some of these things I talk about in this post may not seem like they connect to the fantasy world of Randos I’m creating or my music but these are the things that I enjoy and make me who I am creatively on some level. Hope you guys enjoy this piece and I will get back to more fantasy content soon!

I'm Insecure About My Writing
I don't fear people as much as I fear being known. Being seen from all sides including my insides. Being utterly exposed. And viewed, in my unedited essence.

Too much spare time is just as dangerous as not having enough.
Those who drive themselves to exhaustion all day to get away from job, house, children, and chores, and never have time for themselves, are not much worse off than those who have all the time necessary (and even more.) to dedicate to one's passions, care for one's health and mind, and laze. It may appear unbelievable, but research backs it up.

Worrying is like holding an umbrella up in the sun, waiting for it to rain
And logically, that doesn’t make sense, right? Why does worrying feel normal and natural and needed? I saw this saying once and I didn’t get it but then when I noticed people around me like my mum and boyfriend worrying for no reason, I realised that I was doing the same and we’ve been conditioned to welcome worry and yet, when we are to compare it something like the analogy above, it doesn’t make sense as to why this is a done thing but it’s done every day by us, sometimes without us knowing we are. Remind yourself of this saying, it’s saved me from myself a lot.

Do You Still Love Her?
“Do you still love her?” It was such a loaded question, and one for which I was not prepared to answer. I didn’t know what to say, couldn’t think of anything appropriate, so I decided to answer without a filter.

Don't Let Tinder Burn You
It's the age of technology and the impact has been felt in our romantic lives perhaps more than any other. We are more able to meet dozens, or even hundreds of people, very quickly, we're more likely to meet people far removed from our friend and family groups, and we're empowered to find people who really suit our lifestyle and preferences. Of course for every prince, or princess, online dating puts us in contact with there are hundreds of trolls, frogs, and grade-A boogeymen.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION
Have you ever had to stay awake for more than 18 hours? What about more than 24 hours? 36 hours? 3 days? What about an entire week? How do think you’d feel? How do you think you would be affected by it? I’m about to tell you how it has affected me when I’ve had to do it.

They Call Me Stubborn
Once upon a time there was a princess — I groan in anger because I hate it. It’s not good enough, I say to myself as I throw the paper to the floor.

Cancel Culture Is Not Real: Stop Pretending That It Is
You know, I've been wanting to talk about this for months now. Months. Seriously, what happened to us? We used to be a society of responsibility. We, as people, are not perfect, but we try. At least, I'd like to think we try. And when we mess up, when we put our feet in our mouths, when we make an unconscionable mistake, we own up to it. We take responsibility. At least we used to. For at least the past two years now, we've been infected by the two most annoying words in the English language:

Why Quiet Quitting Is A Myth
If you look at a newspaper or the internet, you'd be forgiven for thinking that half the global population of working age had vanished into the ether. Not a day goes by that there isn't an article about people no longer wanting to work, or employers struggling to find new people.

I stopped going to school in the sixth grade
I stopped going to school in the sixth grade. Although I lived, and went to school in Yonkers New York my entire life, the kids at school still made fun of me. My long nose was the most popular point of interest when they insulted me, which always puzzled me. My mother had a long nose too, with a bump at the center. Her big curls draped her plump face like a frame enhances a photograph. I thought she was the most beautiful woman in the world, and although I looked like my father; wide eyes, slim face, and green eyes that remind me of springtime, my nose was my mothers.
