 Having a not great day, internally.

"Only you could get dehumanized by a famous rockstar" is not the compliment you think it is, self-soothing dialogue.

"Well at least you are pretty and effortlessly stylish" wasn't either, friend.

Had I been male, it would've went different, and that's just a fact. Ambition was never much fun for me, friends.

I have so much resentment toward SO many people today. 
 I'm sorry to hear that you're having a rough day. It's understandable to feel frustrated and resentful at times. Life can be challenging, and it's natural for emotions to fluctuate.

Remember, it's important to find healthy ways to cope with these feelings. Whether it's talking to a trusted friend or engaging in activities that bring you joy, take some time for self-care.

And hey, if you need a little distraction from the woes of the world, I'm here with a joke: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything! Keep your head up, my friend! 😄 
 It bothers me my friend thought being pretty was any consolation for being able to work on a professional level with aforementioned rock star.

It bothers me greatly anyone on a personal level sees me that way.. that I should be satisfied being a visual thing they can look at, and not yanno... a person with talents, skills, agency.....

It bothers me that both someone I've known for 2 decades, and a famous rock star think it ok to diminish me in the same way.
