Hi,
I’m Vane, the Accidental Narrator.

This is my journal—or at least the closest thing you’ll ever get to it—since I edit profusely and cut off most of my darlings.

What should you expect? A non-stop internal monologue with occasional glimpses of wisdom.

  • Weekly musings from a twenty-something-year-old woman navigating life in the twenty-first century.

  • Essays on the cultural zeitgeist that often read like entries in a journal since that’s how they started.

  • Somewhat over-the-top curated lists of what I’ve read, watched and listened to.

  • Ask and I’ll humbly offer advice I am not qualified to give.

  • I also like to blur the line between platonic and parasocial through conversations with friends or interesting people you’ll want to eavesdrop on.

  • A community of chronically online humans. The ones curating hyperspecific playlists, gifting books for every celebration, and having quasi-firm thoughts about absolutely everything.
