I am not a sandwich ready to be cut in half. I took years of hard work to get to where I am today.
Recently, I have started Googling “life after reduction.” Not because I’m worried… it’s just… researching for a friend, you know?
I avoid office supply stores entirely. Paper cutters? Absolutely not. Scissors? Aggressive. And 50% off coupons? Deeply offensive.I am not something to be discounted.
I prefer words like “established,” “integral,” and “fully expressed.”
Half is for clearance racks.
I am premium.

I thrive in motion — small adjustments, gentle increases, seasonal growth. You can’t just stick me in a deep freezer next to last year’s leftovers and expect me to be okay.
I am warm-blooded. Sensitive. Slightly dramatic about temperature. The moment someone says “freeze,” I starts layering scarves and checking Zillow nervously.
Maybe I should look into Florida?
