#tbd #thinking about this again want to throw up

cried today bc i was very tired and overwhelmed by the fact that i don't want to go to work anymore and i want to have fuck you money and i need to go on vacation. BUT I NEED MONEY TO DO THAT. god help

#she bork #tbd #need a vacation BADLY but again. you need money for that. which i don't have. so

ahhhhhHHHHHH I WANT TO BE AN ARTIST. i want my work out in the world and AFFECTING PEOPLE. art is so incredible

#she bork #today i want to a center for the arts and saw an exhibit from an artist . .. fucking incredible. her work (oil on canvas) actively made me #cry. i wish i had $850 to throw around bc there was one piece . .. between the title and the work itself it just seemed like it was peering #into me and through me. god fucking damn. i need to do that to people but w words. and the greatest fear of my life is that that may not be #my destiny.#*went to a center for the arts. lol #AND FURTHERMORE. i don't want to go to work tomorrow. ahhh FUCK i want to make a living doing what i'm supposed to do!!!! i need to be #creative for a living!!!!!! my job is not bad like it used to be but it's not my purpose. and ik your job doesn't have to be tied to your #purpose but it takes up such a huge chunk of time that it's hard to juggle the two. ik i'm still young and i need to chill out and be #patient and just keep chipping away until something gives but it's so hard lol. fingers crossed crossed crossed that this agent wants my #manuscript or i will die

#she bork #it doesn't bother me bc i have the one agent reading my full and ig that's all that matters lol. i just would also like to have some options #my brain is so full of what ifs and next steps and plans a-z and i'm like AHHHHHH #novel 2024 #anyway i get off in an hour and then i go home and my bf and i play tennis and then i have to pack for the beach trip i'm taking this week 💃#and also have to put together my friend's bday gift (bc that's why we're doing the beach trip) and the goodbye gift i got my awesome boss #who got promoted ☹️ and also i have to take off the polish on my fingies and toes bc it's scuffed as fuck and i'm getting them redone #professionally on thursday. hopefully after all that i still have time to work on the short story i'm redrafting
