Stuck in Neutral, Screaming in Drive.

Mentally I'm in an IHOP parking lot at 3am.

I did it again. I changed the title of my Substack because it didn’t feel right. My creative juices have been held hostage by my calendar app.

I’m not that worried about it though because only 2 people read this: my mother and my best friend. They’ll read it and roll their eyes.

I don’t care. I’ll get there.

I won’t be so mean to myself in the process. I’ve changed my name before.

I interrupt with a list of previous monikers:

Samantha Lester

Tru(th).

Samantha Belen

Stiff Upper Lip

The It Girl Blueprint

As God as my witness, if only I could make up my mind, I will build a career. I say as I shake my fist to the heavens. But for the moment, I’m suffering from

Stalled Ambition.
