hi, lauren deborah! — essentially my digital journal — is where I do not pretend to be an expert on anything but I do lean into the fact that I cannot shut up. Someone once tried to sass me by calling me a chronic oversharer and now I have an entire “brand” built off of it so thank youuuuuuuu for the inspo!
I mostly talk about my sexuality, sobriety, and my excessive celebrity crushes 🌈 🤍 ✨🐆
