Title: The Thought I Can’t Finish
Subtitle: Late-night doubts, digital dust, and turning down the money
March 26, 2025 – 10:20 p.m.
So here’s what happened.
It’s late. I’m tired. My phone’s lighting up with messages I don’t want to open. I’m lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, running through the usual mental checklist:
“Should I be writing something right now? Reading? Finishing that thing I started two weeks ago?”
But instead, I’m stuck in this strange little fog where everything feels fake—including me.
Not in a “I’m an imposter” kind of way (although yeah, that’s always humming in the background). More like... I’m good at making things sound meaningful—even to myself. But sometimes I wonder if I’m just narrating nonsense with good lighting.
All these little episodes, these “Artifacts”—I gave them a name to make them feel like they matter. But sometimes? They feel like digital lint. Floating. Piling up. Not hurting anyone, but not really helping either.
Here’s the twist:
Someone offered me money today. To slip in a brand mention. Just a few lines in one of these entries. No pressure. No hard sell.
And for a second, I thought, “Huh. That could actually pay for something.”
But then this little voice in my chest said: Nope.
Because that would ruin it. For me, anyway.
This thing? It only works because it doesn’t work like everything else. No clickbait. No sponsors. No fake enthusiasm for products I don’t use.
Just me, rambling into the dark. And maybe someone out there hears it and feels a little less weird. A little more human.
I’m not saying I’m noble. I’m just saying I can’t do it. Not yet. Maybe not ever.
Anyway. I’m okay. Really. Just exhausted. It’s been one of those weeks that feels like a year. And there’s this tight little knot in my chest—a thought I can’t quite finish.
But saying it out loud? Even like this?
It helps.
Good night, Artifact.
