Hey Friends,
It’s me, Onicia—writer, comedian, human possibly battling seasonal allergies and eczema.
We’re officially in the 2nd half of the year. Hope you’re staying cool and hydrated during these summer days.
I have not been writing, but I have been taking daily walks, napping, and taking care of other life needs. When the Should Monster tells me I should be doing more, I take a breathe and remind myself that I’m doing the best with what I’ve got. I spent the first 4-5 months of the year trying to get an agent. I’m still un unrepped writer, but representation doesn’t determine my skill as a writer an comedian. In fact, for a long while (maybe even still now) comedian KevOnStage was unrepped. He lamented about getting meetings and then agents ultimately passing on him. Regardless, he pressed on and performed at sold out comedy shows, published best sellers, and showed up daily on social media to spread joy.
While I might not be online every day, I’m really proud of how I’ve been spending my days. Last winter was the first winter where I didn’t completely crash out. In fact—like my plants—I survived and thrived through winter.
Right now, I’m in a season on observing and exploring. I’m living life so that I’ll have something to say when it’s time to make art.
This is me on one of my daily walks. Sometimes it’s so hot that I just walk for 30-60 mins in front of my AC. When it comes to fitness—and life in general—you’ve got to do what works for you.
