The BLUGH: February 28, 2024
“Adolescence is just one big walking pimple.”
Damn, can’t believe February is over OH WAIT WE STILL GOT ANOTHER DAY TOMORROW. Use it wisely. I wish I could have had the extra day SOONER so I could get out a better BLUGH for my READERS. But alas, I come to you with this little baby BLUGH.
I have a lot of BLUGH drafts in my notes. A lot of them are dark…??? Not SAD, but just like SCARY and MOODY and honestly a little ANGSTY. What is Teenage Justina trying to tell me?! No idea. But here are a few things I would tell Teenage Justina:
You are not ugly. Stop thinking you are ugly.
EVERYTHING will get better.
Enjoy the pasta.
Enjoy the hair.
Enjoy the angel hair pasta.
Being mean does not make you cool. If you see mean people, they are not cool, they are just mean (and probably scared or sad).
Cool it on the Muse. There are other bands out there.
What would your bullet list of advice to your teenage self look like?
