(Im nothing if not a standard-issue boring millennial.)

(They werent.)

TBH, its a little glitchy, so I cant recommend it.

How did I become this person?

(Read: an adult, I guess?)

But if I tell myself I was so fun back then!

I am ignoring the fact that basically everyone in my life got exhausted by me on a regular basis.

Perhaps Im actually more fun now, in a cozy, hygge-appreciating, contributes-more-than-the-minimum-to-her-retirement-account way?

And what if the apps on my phone reflect that?

And what if thats okay?

I shudder to think what apps lie in my future.

(Does the AARP have one yet?)

But I am really enjoying the thought of actually appreciating and honing my boringness in 2024.

Maybe Ill even get that app that (God help me)lets you identify birdsthis year.

Good luck stopping me once Im an amateur ornithologist, world!
