Just Random Thoughts on a Friday

I have notes on my phone of random thoughts. I jot them down with the intention of revisiting them later. Maybe as part of a poem, a TikTok video, something somewhere on social media, etc. I also have just single lines that I think would be good song lyrics.

Enjoy.

No relationship is perfect, and no matter how exciting your life is, there are still always boring moments in between the bigger ones.

I like the idea of a story where the main character is this very stereotypical idea of what a Gen Z person is, but they are a cop/action hero. Like, they do the job, but only reluctantly when it doesn’t make sense to them or refuses to be a team player. He’s a great cop but has the ennui we associate with Gen Z to…
