Let’s Swing Life Away

Dear diary,

Days like today are bittersweet. I got out and earned some money. Not nearly close to what I used to make so it’s a bit hard to justify how much “hustle” I’m actually doing now compared to what I used to do. It’s exhausting. But someday I’ll find it, the rainbow connection, of lovers and dreamers like me. Or I won’t. And when I don’t I’ll just cry for a bit and move on.

I’ve decided to start a “zine”. This term is what we used to call independent little folios that had poetry and other cute stuff wrapped into one little booklet. What year is it? Do they still call them that? How old am I? Anyways…It’s going to have all that cute stuff and then a whole section dedicated to thrift shops around town. I’m actually REALLY excited about this project. This along with the button project should keep me quite busy for the next few months. If you have a thrift shop you’d like featured, send the info to mothermoth2023@gmail.com and I’ll gather some intel to put them in the zine.

More stuff landed in the secret boutique. Check it out for some cute novelties and gifts for the special someones in your life. Have you found any buttons lately? I started making drops at random places I visit. When you find them, you’ll know. I heard there’s a ComicCon this weekend just about 30 mins away from me. I thought about taking a peek, until I found out the price of a 1 day ticket. NOPENOPENOPE. That means I’d have to work all day Saturday just to make that much and I’d be there and not working, so that won’t work. BUT, it’s okay. It won’t be the last one. It gives me time to work on my outfit a lot more now.

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?
