The Chronicles of a Semi-functional Human…
A new video series where I try to get my life together… publicly.
So, I did a thing. I started a YouTube series. It’s called The Chronicles of a Semi-functional Human, which is honestly just a fancy way of saying “watch me try to juggle life without dropping everything… again.”
Why am I doing this? Because staying accountable is hard when you’re doing it alone. Because I keep saying I want to write more, clean my house, read books, make art, and eat food that didn’t come out of a drive-thru window—but then I blink and somehow another week has gone by. Because I’m tired of feeling stuck in the chaos of good intentions and zero follow-through.
So this series is part vlog, part confession booth, part motivational pep talk (to myself, mostly—but you’re welcome to borrow it). Each week I’ll check in on my goals—writing, decluttering, reading, creating, actually eating vegetables—and share the ups, downs, and general weirdness along the way.
And speaking of goals—this post right here? It’s one of them. I committed to writing two pieces per week consistently, and we are doing the damn thing. You can expect a poem later this week too, because apparently I like to cry and call it art. Stay tuned.
Here’s the first episode:

Also, I’m currently 29% of the way to my $170 Ko-fi goal to get a Weebly professional site builder subscription a real domain name (because deedreconkey.weebly.com/slightlychaoticmess doesn’t have the same ring to it). I’m seriously so grateful to the amazing humans showing me love and support—one coffee at a time. You’re helping me grow this little dream into something real.
Thanks for being here. Seriously.
If you have ideas or suggestions for things you’d like to see on my YouTube (songs, interpretive dance, poetry readings) or maybe something you’d like me to pen a poem or article about, definitely leave a comment.
Enjoy this post? If you’d like to support my work, consider tipping the cost of a cup or coffee on Ko-fi!
