I say I work in social media and hope that no one asks any more questions.

But when they do, I just say I exist on the internet.

Like, I just am my personality on the internet thats what its become.

Now, its just little parts of my life, not really confined to a specific theme.

Like, Im honored people liked that and its sweet, but I dont get it.

Youre on such a different wavelength now.

I thought no one else had that intensity until I joined TikTok and found it in other people.

When Im in the room with these people, I still cant quite get it together.

But thats something Im working toward now a current 2024 goal.
