Hello all,
This week fucking sucked. Many unfortunate and/or bittersweet things happened to people around me, and I found out about three of these events last Tuesday. It was too much information, which caused me to scream “FUCK” a lot. However, those are not my lives, so you will read about mine instead!
Prose and Poetry of the Week
I wrote this about a year ago and published it last week. My parents didn’t force me to eat onions, I only thought they were doing so, but I don’t want to deny my teenage self from what she thought was happening. Otherwise, everything is true: onions are gross.
I’m embarrassed by this story. Not necessarily because of the writing, although it’s not my best, but because of my place as the antagonist. I wrote it for Vocal’s Brown Paper Box Challenge from the perspective of my ex-best-friend. Losing that friendship took a toll on me, but trying to understand it from her perspective lends me a little more peace on why the friendship needed to end. It’s fiction because it is from her perspective, but everything except for me sending her a package is true. Even the dream she has near the end is a dream I had, and I hope she shared it with me so we could have a considerate closure.

Things I’ve learned, laughed about, and/or obsessed over
- The Owl House Season 2’s first 10 episodes! (Spoiler alert: includes a canon queer relationship AND non-binary character! Which I predicted here.)
- The Bullet Journal Method, Or, Another Way To Distract Me From Actual Productivity By Setting Up A Productivity System
- This gif, from What We Do In The Shadows
Personal Chisme
chisme = gossip
- Debating a Masters in Counseling, again. Yet, I strongly relate to this:
Does anyone know if there’s a tarot spread for “what the fuck is happening?”
Thank you again for reading, or at least skimming! You can find an archive of Xismosa Xit here.
I miss you all!
Abrazos and/or high fives,
