“Wish that I was kidding, I’m not and I hate it…”
There’s so much I want to say, but I still have to be guarded.
To the dude that’s (probably unintentionally) been messing with my head…
I spoke up the other day, telling you that the energy between us has felt different than what it was over the weekend. Yet I’m still the one texting first, I’m trying to make conversation and be a part of your day. I’m still going to be your friend, no matter what. But if you’re not interested please don’t lead me on.
The last conversation we had last night is telling me that your ex popping back into your life to say hello and she misses you is really consuming you… which tells me that even though you thought you were over her, you may not actually be. So imma step back I guess.
I’m so scared to truly put my heart out there again. I want to, and this time of year doesn’t help my loneliness. Time to take care of me.
I’m going to attempt to make this a healing weekend. Planting flower seeds, spending time with my kids, baking, reading, probably giving the dogs a bath (although that’ll be a point of soreness and stress, but they definitely need it)… Time to focus on what’s immediately in front of me and not be glued to my phone or video games.
Don’t get me wrong – when the sun goes down I’ll probably be on Fortnite or Marvel Rivals. Just gonna do real-world stuff too. Keep myself busy so I’m not driving myself crazy.

“Look at you, cool guy, you got it…”
If I’m being honest… AI worries me. I get that it can make things easier, that our lives can be better with some of the things Artificial Intelligence can do for us. However…
I don’t like the idea of using AI to create things like art or music. I realize I may be in the minority on this. I know someone personally that has used AI to create books that they sell on Amazon (including coloring books that, to be honest, aren’t the greatest because of errors that a human would have noticed). They use AI to create music (both by writing lyrics and generating the music). They use AI to create avatars and to even have full-on conversations on websites in order to create content.
It just all feels ingenuine.
The person that I mentioned will send me audio clips to listen to for some feedback on a song that their AI program created. They fully intend on releasing some of this music on the streaming platforms and even have an AI-generated “person” as the album artwork and such.
That really, really bothers me.
I love music and art. Many times when I find a song I like, I dig in to see what the other songs by that artist are like. I look up tour dates, I check out their online presence, I really want to do my research to see what kind of person/people have created the art I had been enjoying.
If I were to come across this AI-generated artist, I fully believe that the person I know will have used AI to generate social media posts and maybe even generated images of that avatar performing shows that never actually happened. I wouldn’t put it past them.
While I understand there are many AI things out there like music and art, and that I may have even been someone to enjoy what they’ve created, I would really rather my art be created by someone with a pulse, not microchips and processors.
Just my two cents.
