on-time messages, 4.30.25

i got a message today on instagram. she complimented my writing and said i should get some more sleep. i appreciated her recommendation because i’ve been needing to fix my sleep schedule for years, but it has yet to happen. she is also a writer herself. i went through her writings and they are excellent. she writes long journal entries by hand, in what seems to be like every day. that’s an actual writer, which is so amazing to me. i’ve also been feeling a little down on my own writing because it hasn’t taken off (yet). my last two tiktok videos have a very low views. actually, the last video only has two likes. one of them is me and the other is me from my personal account lmao. i know these moments are temporary, but i’ve been thinking of switching up the aesthetic for some months, so the time to do so might be now.

her messages made my day and they’re definitely keeping me going right now.
