    Off the Rails

    Things got a little unhinged, pretty unedited, and, yeah… off the rails.This week: I blanked on the word “morose,” pretended I knew 한글, talked missed phone calls, dabbled in ASMR, and laughed a lot — mostly at myself (which still counts, right?).It was messy. It was real. And I own it. How about you?Hit play for Episode 2 of Human, But Barely.🖤 Tell me about your own “off the rails” moment on Instagram → @humanbutbarely🎵 Intro & outro music: “Status” by Jamie Bathgate — Licensed via Artlist.

    This Episode is a Mess ( & So Am I)

    A soft spiral of confusion, connection, and emotional honesty — this episode is a little tangled, a little vulnerable, and maybe just what you needed to hear today.In this debut episode, I spiral gently through a confusion of thoughts — nothing neatly packaged, nothing tied up. Just some muddled feelings about being alone, the emotional weirdness of train seating, and the deep desire to find internet friends you’ve never met… but dream of crying with in a Target parking lot.Because maybe that’s how we feel a little less alone — messy crying, half-laughing, and not having to explain ourselves.The podcast is messy. The thinking is messy. I’m messy. And honestly? That’s kind of the point.If you’re feeling a little tangled too, you’re not alone.🖤 Come say hi (or tell me what this stirred up) over on Instagram: @humanbutbarelyIntro & outro music: “Status” by Jamie Bathgate — Licensed via Artlist.
