Hi, my name is Wanda, and I'm a freelance writer (travel, wellness, LGBTQ+), a full-time traveler, and a whole human being. I'd love to connect with folks here ❤️‍🔥

Having feelings in this day and age is A Choice™

I can tell you about some stuff I've done, but to me, what's more interesting is the person I was and the person I'm becoming.

Life is so funny. You're just this silly little person with silly little desires walking through crumbling infrastructure trying to make your dreams come true and come out whole on the other side if the other side exists. I'll let you know if I get there.

We've given names to so many things. I wonder what they call themselves.

Regarding Simone's huzband, I think a perspective that's been lost is the "been there, done that." Yall jumped right to bullying, don't want to be wrong, jealous, miserable hatin ass sea cows.

Ryan Reynolds said on Hot Ones, I've always wanted to mouth sex a volcano 😅

I wrote about Vice President Kamala Harris today and here's what I learned about how she views her heritage. 🧵

"After you cast your ballot for president, your vote goes to a statewide tally. In 48 states and Washington, D.C., the winner gets all the electoral votes for that state. Maine and Nebraska assign their electors using a proportional system."

The neighbor who STOLE the asparagus I was saving from the garden will know no peace. Gonna soothe myself with pancakes later 😭 I fucking hate not being considered. Why would you not ask if I was going to eat them first you massive bitch???

I am cold and worn down

I did not practice being honest today. I was nice instead. I made the other person comfortable, but I don't think I betrayed myself in the process. I have spoken up about other things. This is not someone who'll be in my life, not someone I can grow with, so maybe it's ok.

What's your favorite way of creating a safe space for yourself to acknowledge what's happening?

I'm in a feeling storm and having a hard time getting through

My worth isn't measured by my productivity, but my bank account is. That's what I'm trying to reckon.
