typing is so crazy how we all know the keyboard completely blind
i accidentally switched to the numbers on my phone keyboard and kept typing out a whole sentence and i realized that i know where all of the letters should be
but if you asked me to point to a letter it would take me a minute to find it
and i definitely couldn't label the keys if you gave me a blank keyboard
but i could type words on a blank keyboard

i don't remember what prompted me to even mess with my keyboard settings in the first place, but i do remember the peace that instantly washed over me once i saw how still my keyboard was when i began typing again afterwards. i hadn't realized how much noise that row of rapidly changing suggested words and emojis was making in my brain until it was gone.
also this has forced me to confront how awful my spelling is and how much i've gotten used to passively having my mistakes fixed. it was an inadvertent but necessary step for me in trying to be more conscious and intentional when using my phone.

This is one of my darkest most demented secrets is that I don’t type on my phone like a normal person I use my index finger like a geriatric and I swipe to type in kind of a spray and pray strategy where I just hope that it psychically understands what I mean and usually it does.
The real problem is that the dictionary learns from all of the times I’ve tapped out words with tooooo many letters to convey enthusiasm especially about my friends’ cats, my dog, etc sooooooo it’s like a minefield:
* orrr
* Whyyyyy
* whyyyy
* Pleaseeee
* HELPPPPPOO
* himmmm
* whattttt
* WHATTT
* Perfectttt
* perfectttt
* yesssssssss
Surely there must be some way to stop this and I simply never will.

i love being alone. i know who i am when i'm alone and i love myself when i'm alone. when i'm around people it's easy to forget and i get lost and aimless.
how do you share parts of yourself without feeling overexposed? even just sharing creative work makes me feel like it's not mine any more and makes me doubt the part of myself that went into making it. but i also feel so stagnant when i'm not putting anything out into the world. where is the balance? how do you deal with this?
