A lot of exciting writing stuff has happened with me recently, but I haven’t talked about it on here. I thought about it, but I tend to get a little suspicious about overpromoting things. The last time a lot of exciting writing things were happening in my life I promoted them1 like crazy, partly out of pride, partly because I was afraid no one would attend any of the events, which as it turned out happened to be true. All of this happened in 2020, many of these events were slated for March and so were understandably cancelled as people isolated and adjusted to living their lives on Zoom.
Fast-forward to 2024, and I start noticing some similarities. Coincidences, obviously, but enough of them to make me nervous. Some of the more spiritually inclined on TikTok noticed weird parallels in their own lives and believed that it was a sign of the world righting itself after the pandemic, and maybe the eclipse is helping. I just think it’s weird, and the logical part of my brain tells me it’s all just a coincidence, that life is full of them. But the nervous part of me is on edge.
