Respectfully, Fuck Your Autumn Reset (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The digisphere is a flurry with intel offering me the “best September reset”An autumn reset rings truer and more aligned as a “new beginning” than the one that randomly bursts in the darkest months of the year. The January new year aligns with no astrological, nor historical events of renewal other than the need to gather together so as to inhibit winter urges to go postal… I prefer using the fall, the start of the “new semester” as the new year. It is a time take stock, to reinvest, and reset.

I’ve been saying how mature I feel and how uninterested in abusing substances I’ve been. I’ve been able to have a few and stop. I’ve been able to have none.

Shame (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I said I would disappear from 24-27. Instead of emerging at 27 anew, a key aspect of the airtight plan… I emerge acting haggard, out of time, beyond my prime, doomed for settling. What a crock of shit. The best way to do something is to do it. I’ve been in the woods, figuratively, literally, having raucous joyous experience alongside slow mournful hours. I remember creating this intention at 24, “to disappear”. This was a desire mostly born of misplacing attention I needed to receive for attenti
