Including significance, I guess?

WARNING: Ignore initial statement. Author
happens to stay on point throughout most
of the article. It kind of just happened
that way. Figures!! Now, you do you. ✌✨

There’s no purpose for this text. You can read it, or you can move on, to experience any variety of the universe accessible to you. Personally, I never expect to care if you read me. Sometimes I pray you won’t, so I can have published for the sake of a new story listing on my profile, judgment free. Be clear on this, if I announce at the top of a story not to read, this is likely the case.

It’s just me being dumb.

Not many new readers come by my works, so to you who’s been with me for a while, please take any such message for what it is. I hate marketing tricks. Warning you to keep back in the hopes you’ll be drawn in isn’t my style.

If you decide to go ahead and read such pieces anyway, I might be embarrassed, or you also might be harmed psychologically.

These are only two possible outcomes.

Feel free to test your listening abilities here.

Or simply trust yourself, and continue with the next line.

My titles weren’t planned in advance, in terms of coherence with the body of this…
