7 signs you’re too independent (and need to stop what you’re doing right now)
It is a truth universally acknowledged that listicles can diagnose, treat, and prevent the problems of the world. As such, I wanted to contribute to this mounting body of wisdom and warn you all about the dangers of independence, cultivating your own priorities, and taking strategic risks. … Read More 7 signs you’re too independent (and need to stop what you’re doing right now)
or else you’ll miss us
I’m trying to learn this formatting thing/how to do poetry on the internet thing. I tend to feel a little self-conscious and pretentious–like, would I like a triple-brewed beverage and a side of thrifted clothing with my poetry–but that’s okay. Also, I love thrift stores.
