The Dream has always been to become a writer, to pay my bills with my words - but The Dream isn't all that realistic. When money was running out quickly in July, I took a temp job at the HR department of a company full of finance bros. I was supposed to work there for four weeks, but Monday marks the start of week 10. I sort files all day, take notes for Substack pieces while I work, and go home to write all night. Afraid I'd never find a day job again, I found my peace of mind on the 5th floor of Rotterdam's Willemswerf. If only I could stay...

Im from a small little Mexican beach town and ive been living in Mexico City for a while now ( in two years it would be 10 years ) and lately shit has been so hardddd, there's literally no money anywhere. Im an artist so most of my work is freelance but nobody is hiring artists and if they do pay is shit or it takes from 30 to 90 days for me to get my money which is fucking annoying if you ask me.
considering all this I went out looking for a home office job which I got and that made me really happy because its still kind of an artistic job because its in a techno music agency, im on a trial period rn and pay is also shit but im really hoping I get thru the trial period.
anyway just wanted to vent a little bit.
updates soon

Before I get fired from my office job for being a communist agitator, I want to champion how easy and fun it can be to be an office drone. itβs comforting to know thereβs always someone above you. Checking emails. Stealing paper clips.

I'm a July baby. Growing up, I spent most of my birthdays alone. Some years because my friends had left the country. Some years because I'd left the country. Some years because I had no friends. And with every year passing, the pressure to spend my birthday surrounded by friends and family and to have a good time increased. Every year I felt like a failure when I couldn't make it happen. So I stopped telling people it's my birthday.
But today is my 28th birthday.

"If the two of you are so good together, why don't you make a move?" my friend asked me in a dream about the guy I was ever so slowly falling for. Those words echoed through my mind for months, from the first date till the final breakup.

I hadn't seen my friend since New Year's Eve. Now it was October, her wedding day, and she barely gave me the chance to gush over her gorgeous dress, her makeup, her jewelry.
"You look happier," she said. "Your energy has changed. It's much calmer now. I'm happy for you."
I love her for taking the time out of her special day to notice me like that.
