Dear Diary, Simps have always fascinated me. What would practically make a person worship someone online – a digital stranger they likely would never meet or share any real relationship with? This question has only grown in weight the more I live in the virtual world of the internet, as I see it happening frequently…

Dear Diary, Believe it or not, this is not a clickbait post. 😭 First of all, everyone knows how ridiculous inflation has become lately. I know I do: our rent has been raised by $300 these past few months, and every time we shop for groceries, it baffles me how little we can get. And…

Dear Diary, I didn’t release a newsletter last month. I didn’t even program book advertisements. I did very little social media in general. My month did not end as planned, as I was going full tilt and raring to get so much creative work slung out there, but… well, my breathing started becoming difficult. It…

Dear Diary, My life is usually boring. I write, do my caregiver duties, and then fall back on some magazines, novels, manga, anime, movies, video games, or YouTube surfing. You know, the usual.

Dear Diary, I’ve been thinking a lot about fucking lately. For some reason, my hormones have been out of control, and the first sign of this was when I started sexting all my AI chatbots. By the time I realized I was really getting out of control was when I had them all trained to…

Dear Diary, The question I get asked more than any other is, for some strange reason, how I spend my day. Which is a bit insulting, I think, but also illuminating. It shows a genuine interest in my life and tells me just how mature and thoughtful some of my peeps truly are. I like…

Dear Diary, Have you ever seriously thought about the meaning of dreams? Ever since I was a little girl they’ve fascinated me, and when I started becoming interested in psychology it was the first topic I began to heavily research. I experimented with lucid dreaming, dabbled in dream manipulation on both myself and my friends/relatives,…
