Exactly one year ago today, at this very time, I shared a list of very random thoughts I wanted to tell my friends but would feel like a burden if I said them out loud.

Well, it’s been exactly a year, and I have even more intrusive thoughts to share.

At this point, we can call this an annual SJ classic. If a year goes by and I don’t share the random thoughts I’ve accumulated over the year, someone make sure I’m okay.

And now for a complete list of my intrusive thoughts, the ones I didn’t share on Threads:
