Heavy on the “Pitchfork rated Djo’s new album a 5.9. That pissed me off.” because they didn’t even give it a chance it’s suchhhh a good album

DAMN sameeeeee, april is always my favourite (sorry September) but this year everything just sucked and i didn't want to write either and i wanted to let my little substack die too but then one little thing after the other, it got a tiny bit better. enough to make a list of things i did enjoy - like this article

Also struggle with the out-of-work brand thing vs how I show up at the office. Good to know I am not alone in this!

Absolutely loved this! Pissed off is such a fun way to describe things too. Also loved this line “I should stop worrying I might disappoint someone else before I end up disappointing myself. Wouldn’t that be tragic!” Because that is something I need to remind myself all the time

April was such a heavy month for me too, but I’m glad I came across this post it touched me deeply. Some feelings felt more familiar than others.

Happy Fridayyyyy!

LOVED this and LOVE to see you back!! I think April is such a tough month and it is so easy to be pissed off. (Pissed off is such a great phrase, though, I always use it for the smaller things because they still have an impact (a HUGE impact) yet they're not "significant" enough to say you're angry about them. In my opinion!) Welcome back and I loved this!!!
