Diary of Jul :))

                                                                                          It's day three and I'm shocked I still am keeping up with this, but here we are. What I have been thinking about a lot today is how our society pushes the importance of one's physical appearance. Those that are deemed as most beautiful or desirable are placed on a pedestal - all for physical features that are wholly out of their control. And social media has only made this superficial way of thinking that much worse. Our feeds are flooded with individuals deemed as desirable, leaving us wondering ways we can change to look like them.

It's a weird sor...

For all I know, I'll just keep this url a secret - my own electronic diary to document my progress - or maybe I'll be bold and share it? Only time will tell I guess.  Well, today is January 12, 2021 and I am sitting on the $100 futon in my Baltimore apartment. Unsure why I needed to tell you how much the futon costed, I just felt like it would give you a better idea of what my situation is looking like. But anyways... I wanted to make this electronic diary for a number of reasons: 1. I am way too much of a perfectionist to do this all in a notebook (i.e. if I misspelled a word or wanted to redo a paragraph, I would be writing the same entry for days), and 2. for years I have claimed that, "this is the year I am going to get my shit together," but then I just fall back into the same toxic, counterproductive...
