bedtime revenge
seeking: a lifetime supply of melatonin. โJessica, go to sleep!โ As a child, my mom would basically have to beg me to shut off for the evening. Winding down each night โ closing my book, getting off the family computer, or switching off my GameBoy โ was a routine I vehemently despised. Why...
Netflix, can we have nice things?
Netflix in 2024 is pretty shite. Iโm not a huge fan of reality TV. Iโll indulge in the odd season of Married At First Sight every couple years, sure, but I find it more irritating than anything before long. Despite being apparently โunscriptedโ, most now follow the same formula relentlessly year after year...

the selfishness of self-discovery
is it an exercise in narcissism to work on yourself? For several years now, Iโve been deep in the trenches of personal growth. Embarking on this journey wasnโt deliberate, however. Back in 2020, when the world ground to a halt, I was suddenly confronted with more time to reflect than I knew what to do with. Leading up to the pandemic, I was an expert in suppressing my emotions, using the transient dopamine-inducing...

the internet will take your opinion now
