You know, why is it that short weeks are somehow always 1000% longer than every other week. Yes, that is how I'm starting this newsletter out! No welcome - just vibes and stress! Why did everyone schedule a meeting with me today or tomorrow? Your girl is BOOKED and BUSY and TIRED.
Think about one of your closest friends. How did you all meet? Heck, how did we meet? It's so strange when you think about the circumstances that led you to meeting someone and how the world would've been so different if you hadn't.
For example, I was once upon a time, a finance major (lmao I changed back to marketing after like one week), but I wouldn't have applied to a publishing house if I was in finance. I also worked to move to Los Angles both pre and post college and I don't think I would know almost any of you if I had succeeded in that. Would I have even written this newsletter? Would I even enjoy writing??
"Brieana, this seems like a multiverse theory from the latest Spider-Man--" SHUSH because of Covid, I have not seen it yet!!! Be quiet!
Anyway.
Maybe I'm feeling wistful with the snow gently falling outside. Maybe this is because of the NyQuil I took last night to stave off a four day migraine (we love to suffer). But it's weird to think about how so many things could be different if one thing had changed.
This newsletter brought to you by my friend who fixed my iPod for the tenth time when Apple gave up on me. Thanks!!
...Look it was this or I was going to do the newsletter equivalent of rolling out a tv and playing Bill Nye the Science Guy okay? Like I said, day four of a migraine. Leave me here to die.
Recs:
- You know when you watch something so stupid you have to share it? Well, welcome to the point of my newsletter - the Avengers if it had been made in the 90s. Lord, I don't know why I cackled when they revealed who was T'Challa but?? It makes sense!
- I'm assuming you've heard of Wordle (and if you haven't, it's a delightful once-a-day word game that's both challenging and doesn't let me become obsessive which is a joy), but have you read the interview with the creator of the game? If not, you should check it out! He seems like a lovely person.
- A dog who is part of a chess game? But of course! Some bunnies taking revenge on a magician? Yes please! A cute cat who is hugging an arm? Who am I to deny??
That's it friends. Keep going y'all. I believe in y'all. If you need inspiration, a bird of paradise plant I gave up on has a leaf that is FINALLY beginning to unfurl after like....four months! Believe in yourself. Know I believe in you. Even if I don't believe in myself.
Adios!
