◆ Life’s Random Inventory



Slightly Feral is where all the misfit posts go — because calling it “Miscellaneous” felt like giving up on myself. This is the corner of the blog where you’ll find everything that doesn’t fit neatly into sourdough, skincare, trauma, or suburban homesteading. Think of it as the junk drawer of my life, but with better storytelling and fewer expired batteries.

In Slightly Feral, you’ll get the full spectrum: my failures (and there are many), updates on the furbabies who run my household, and whatever curiosities I stumble across while minding my own business. It’s unfiltered, unpolished, and a little wild — the place where I let the chaos stretch its legs.

If you’re here for the odd, the funny, the “how did we get here?” moments, or just the parts of life that refuse to be categorized, welcome to Slightly Feral. This is where the randomness thrives.

The art of being untamed:

Logged out & unbothered

I used to treat social media like a part‑time job I never applied for. Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat — the whole chaotic aisle of curated happiness and filtered pores. I got on in high school, stayed on through college, and convinced myself that posting was basically a personality trait. You know the drill: if you don’t document your joy, are you even joyful? If you don’t post a selfie every few months, do you still exist?

growing up as the ugly duckling

There’s a particular kind of invisibility that comes from growing up next to someone who fits the world’s definition of beautiful. Not just pretty—undeniably, effortlessly, universally beautiful. The kind of beauty that makes adults gush, strangers stare, and relatives whisper comparisons they think you can’t hear.

my superpower that you may also have

Growing up, I was that kid—the one who felt everything at full volume. The one who cried easily, reacted quickly, and took things to heart like it was an Olympic sport. The one adults called “too sensitive” and kids called “dramatic,” as if feeling deeply was a character flaw instead of a human trait.
