Ugh, seriously
Dear Wordpress: Please get better, more polished themes for your free accounts. Every time I try to post something, I get sidetracked seeing font choices that just don’t click, elements out of alignment.
Dear Twitter: Please stop being over-capacity all the time. It erodes what little love I still feel for you.
Dear Universe: I want a mixtape. MAKE IT HAPPEN.
