Irreverent happy hour
I don’t feel like talking about me
But do u want to talk about u?
No, I just feel like
I’ve been in my head alllll-
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
day - brain mush
I’m just letting you know that my brain is mush
right now.
Some days I misspell my name Sarha
and some days I misspell it Sarag
And ya, I don’t know if this is going to make
Sense
To you
But today I’ve been spelling it
S-O-R-R-Y-exclamation point
Today I called myself by my Instagram handle
As if we’d never
Officially met
Maybe I do have something to say but I can’t
Make it charming
And maybe I have something to say
But I’m worried I could’ve said the same thing
two years ago
Or that I didn’t have the means then
But who I am now is just Sarah two years ago + two years
Like S - 2 + 2
So S + 0
So S
So just S
S-O-S
