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

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...

I only watch "old" shows. why? because they are better, they have plot & most importantly they have a bunch of seasons. Also because I find new shows repetitive & they lack story, I feel like everything is the same, writers have become lazy, actors/actresses all look the same & I feel its because our brains are so fried we can't keep up with such complex stories, so media companies don't even try anymore. It's sad really, content is shit & has been shit for at least these past 8 or so years. anyway, if you have any suggestions for long running "old" shows, share! <33 Ill leave you with a list some of the ones i´ve been watching lately; 1. LOST 2. SCRUBS 3. NCIS 4.Silicon Valley 5.Entourage

Im at that stage in life where everyone is doing something completely different, there's times where I worry, there's times where im really proud & there's also times of just feeling nothing. I have friends getting married, having children, single friends buying houses, traveling, there's friends who are having projects, there's also friends who are also struggling, friends going through heartbreaks & abusive relationships, friends losing their loved ones & all of them are just going through life. I envy ( the good kind ) the ones who are doing well because I really want to see them happy & I worry for the ones that are not. I just hope that when they are all near me they can feel how much I love them. I just want my people happy & safe.
