Anony' Diary
I'm so sick of arguing with this man I don't know what to do! It seems like he just picked fights with me about anything he can think of. We argue about everything and I don't know how to change it. I love him, but clearly we're not going to work out. It's not like I'm surprised though, it was inevitable! I wonder if he remembers when we first started talking, I told him we weren't meant to be married but we were meant to learn from each other. In my sould I knew thisn, and it wasn't because he was unattractive .. or short!

Such Varied Ukrainian Puritanism: A View Through the Literature of Taras Shevchenko
For me, a Ukrainian Protestant who converted from Orthodoxy at the age of sixteen, Protestantism at first appeared as a more secular and freer form of Christianity. But the deeper I explored this doctrine, the more I discovered the great glory of the reverence for labor and the Puritan ethic.

Breaking Down and Leveling Up: Crying, Laughing, and Cry-Laughing
Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual, and if it did, I’m pretty sure mine got lost somewhere between the “Stay Calm” chapter and the “You’ve Got This” appendix. There have been moments when I felt like I was breaking down in slow motion—a messy, emotional unraveling that seemed to come out of nowhere and take hold like a tornado in my chest. But, weirdly enough, those moments also turned out to be the times I leveled up in ways I never expected.

Oh my gosh
June 16, 2022 Lake City, Seattle Oh my gosh, Lately, I’ve felt a bit out of control but I don’t mind it. Sometimes the sensation that accompanies that lack of self-consciousness is enjoyable: heart beating faster, blood rising to my temples and cheeks, each breath leaving my nostrils sweet before it hits whatever I’ve selected as the object of my undivided attention. What have I been obsessed with? I’m afraid to tell you.

Horace. AI-Generated.
I don’t remember exactly where I got the watch, which bothers me more than it should. There are two possible stories I tell myself. The first is that it was a gift from my Uncle Linus, who once showed up for Thanksgiving dressed as Rasputin and handed me a velvet box containing a gold wristwatch and a lemon. No note. No explanation. The lemon had a single word scratched into its rind: BEWARE.

The Curve in the Garden. AI-Generated.
I was ten years old the summer I first learned that fear can hiss. We’d moved in early June, boxes still half-packed, to an old farmhouse on the edge of nowhere. My parents called it “a fresh start.” I called it “too far from anything fun.” There was no cable, no neighborhood kids, and barely enough cell signal for a text to squeak through if you stood on the back porch with your phone raised like a torch to the gods.
