hi! i've been wanting to do this for a really long time and i'm finally actually doing it. pink noise is a slice of life podcast. just me, talking about my week, the things i'm into, how i'm taking care of myself, the little details of being a person.
it's not going to be polished or profound. it's going to feel like calling your best friend on a sunday afternoon when neither of you has anything important to say but you talk for two hours anyway.
think: soft music, slow mornings, things i bought that changed my life, friendship stuff, what i've been reading, routines that are actually working, routines that are not working at all.
launching soon. follow along if this is your kind of thing <3

winter nights feel completely different when you slow down and treat them gently. here’s a soft, feminine routine to help your evenings feel warm, calm, and a little magical.
change into cozy clothes — soft sweaters, warm socks, something that makes your body feel held.
switch to warm lighting — fairy lights, lamps, candles, anything that makes your space glow softly.
make a warm drink — tea, hot cocoa, spiced milk. sip slowly and let your shoulders relax.

I’m afraid.
I’m very afraid.
Afraid of what will become of me
when I’m too young to die but too old to breathe
freely, when I’m bait on the rod, caught, hooked, and reeling.
A worm on a hook, a lamb to the slaughter,
afraid I can’t be the perfect daughter.
Remind myself, God loves me.
He loves me, but not enough to save me.
Help me.
Please help me.
If it’s meant to be, then it will be.
Six feet under to set me free.
It comes back to you, come back to me.
I don’t know if I can still believe.
Flypaper on the wall, sweet like cherries.
Six feet under to set me free.
Cinnamon in a pot, my sweet release.
I don’t know if I can still believe.
And I know no one’s coming to save me.
No one’s going to help me,
help me be
human, no one’s going to save me from me.
Blowflies swarm my tracheal holes,
looking for the warmth I lacked in life.
Their enzymes seep into my flesh,
picking me apart piece by piece.
Eating my body and leaving the rest,
leaving only my soul to greave.
Fused to telepod 2,
too synthetic to be like you.
I’m an insect, who dreamt I was a girl.
A perfect girl in a model world.
But I was given wings
and I was born to fly.
A terrible burden
and I can’t deny
the pain inside.
All my energy went to ambition, pride,
proving that I was the girl with the bright
future, changing the world and human life.
I will die
of starvation by sunrise.
That’s not me in the mirror.
I couldn’t tell anyway.
I have compound eyes, mosaic vision.
Bzz bzz bzz type disposition.
That’s not me in the mirror.
The dream is over.
The insect has awakened.
No one has ever helped me be human.
Have you heard of insect politics?
Neither have I.
You wouldn’t hurt a fly,
but vice versa, that’s a lie.
We can’t trust the insect,
take my thorax and vivisect.
You’ll see my heart doesn’t work like yours.
I’m not saying I’m worth saving,
I’m saying, I’ll hurt you if you stay.
I’m saying, this can’t go on another day.
I’m saying, if I had any other name,
this would still be exactly the same.
I’m still praying for the girl in Chicago.
The one with the moon in her eyes.
Star light, star bright,
I pray that she longs to be alive.
I pray for that house in the suburbs,
two stories with a balcony.
For her friends, that front door was always open.
I can’t move on when my heart’s broken.
I must die so I can atone.
More human together than I am alone.
this issue is deer reader: finding peace in childlike wonder.
think of what is was like being a kid, without a care in the world. for this issue, we want you to think about that, think about what the holiday season and winter was like in your childhood.
maybe you built a snowman, maybe you went sledding. wasn’t it wonderful?
we hope you can find peace and whimsy in this issue.

when this song comes on so you suddenly turn into a 1950s women strolling along a dock, ribbon around your sun hat blowing in the wind as you watch the birds fly above the crashing waves.
