i’m new here, who the fuck are you?

Hi, I’m Anna. You should know that at parties I tell people I’m a professional weirdo with a PHD in failure, because I spent my twenties failing at my career, my love life, and my sanity. And what I’ve learned from all of the above is that failure is a bitch, but so is a female dog. And since I am the proud dog mom of a female golden retriever (her name is Sawyer), I’d like to remind you all that two opposing things can exist and be true at the same time. You can hate failure, but still be grateful for it, you can hate men, but still desperately want to be with one, and you can be proud of your career while still fantasizing about quitting everything to become a candle. Welcome to maybe both, my Substack where we stop telling people we’re fine, and we start telling them the truth of how we’re decomposing.
