I’m so glad you popped up in my Substack feed. Your writing is delightful.

This is absolutely brilliant:

“It’s okay to be normal. Being normal won’t strip your special from you. Your idea of normal might be the thing that actually makes you more special. Maybe the things you do to be special are making you like everyone else.”

Thank you for bringing joy to my day.

This reminds me of a funny story. I was sitting in the grass of Washington Square park on a sunny afternoon with my girlfriend when a drunken bum came up and offered us a hit of his wine. Before we could decline his offer, with lightning speed he whipped off one of her shoes and proceeded to slobber all over her foot. Saying, “I loves wommins foots.” I got my hand on his face as he licked my palm and shoved him away. Girlfriend was pretty upset. A few days later she tells me that the same guy had attacked a friend of hers, a musician, in the same way as she was rehearsing on the stage of the Jazz Workshop surrounded by other musicians.

Small world.

It has come to my realization that I have also been in situations where I have unwillingly smelled “Birkenstock feet” (idk how else to describe the smell) lmao

Personally, I thank you for ‘ hampster wheel.’ Who needs a wee rodent - I give you Mr Hamster— riding around when there’s a laundry basket conjoined to a dumpster out there to admire?! Brilliant.
