things i like about my apartment

• my neighborhood is full of cute houses and storefronts
• trips to the convenient store for emergency drinks and snacks / bob, the owner, who has a crush on me and lets me use his shovel when my car gets plowed in

• when i was 12 or 13, it became a birthday tradition that my aunt would take me to my favorite vintage store, flower child, and let me pick out a gift. she was a cool aunt , and the only adult in my life at that time who never tried to invalidate my anger. she made me feel like it was okay to be mad at my mom for dying, mad at my dad for trying to move on. she grew up with a dead mom and a complicated family too, and so she understood.
• she would let me smoke her cigarettes and she never told on me for getting high. it was in her kitchen that i dyed my hair hot pink for the very first time, wearing a trash bag like a dress and impatiently skimming through the instructions on a box of cheap bleach while she laughed at me.
• she was lovably ditzy and scatterbrained which made spending time with her feel like an adventure since she was always gett...

• i have a lot of thoughts and a bad short term memory
• if i don't document something, i feel like it isn't real or didn't happen, but i don't want to rely on social media as a memory-keeper. for one thing, i want to move away from using social media too much in general. it's too ephemeral, in the same way that the websites and blogs and livejournals i made as a teenager are all lost and no longer accessible.
• i enjoy journaling! i've been keeping journals since i was seven or eight and it's so nice to be able to go through those old notebooks and look back.
• sourcing material to write on and organizing my thoughts to make diary comics from.
• getting better in touch with my feelings and actually trying to make sense of what i'm going through in real time, rather t...
