this one's for the overthinkers

Unshaved, unhinged, unbothered

Welcome to Muse Letter Issue #1. Thank God you opened this. We cleared our schedule (read: ignored responsibilities) just to get it done.

Listen. If you haven’t washed your water bottle in three weeks but have thought about starting a podcast—same.

If your legs are unshaved, your inbox has 47 unread emails, and you forgot to eat lunch but somehow remembered your coworker’s cat’s birthday—also same.

You’re not behind. You’re just tired.

Weekly Wins, Emotionally Speaking

Here’s a quick itinerary of what many of us accomplished last week:

• Avoided two social obligations with wildly specific fake excuses
• Spent 17 minutes deciding between shampoo brands at Watsons, then bought neither
• Laid in bed thinking about making a Notion template for our new personality
• Made a to-do list with “make a to-do list” as the first item
• Cried at a random Spotify ad. (Just us? Okay.)

This is what peak performance looks like in 2025. Welcome.

Your chaos is not a character flaw

We’ve been conditioned to think that “rest” is only valid if we completed the things we wrote down on our planner.

But real rest is deeply unstructured. It’s uneventful. It's skipping your skincare routine and deciding, actually, watching Black Mirror is more important than vitamin C serums tonight.

It’s fine. You’re fine. The world won’t implode because you didn’t use your planner for a week (or a year).

If you’ve ever googled “am I burnt out or just lazy” at 2 a.m., congratulations: you’re doing better than you think.

You’re self-aware, resourceful, and one impulsive online purchase away from thriving. Honestly, if you haven’t spent ₱1,500 on a ceramic mug you absolutely did not need, are you even coping correctly? Surviving in this economy is a full-time job.

Sometimes the highest form of self-care isn’t a face mask or a bath bomb. Sometimes it’s letting the dishes sit in the sink overnight and trusting Future You™ to deal with it.

Not everything has to be a crisis. Sometimes it’s just... Thursday.

The Great Planner Panic of April

True story: Last month, a friend bought a ₱900 planner with four kinds of stickers, habit trackers, and a fold-out vision board. She thought, “This is it. This is the thing that will fix me.”

She used it for two days. She now use it as a mouse pad. Occasionally a coaster.

Moral of the story? You don’t need more structure. You just need to allow yourself to exist as you are.

Before you spiral again…

This is your reminder that “doing nothing” is actually doing something.You’re recovering. Recharging. So take the nap. Skip the planner. Unfollow the productivity influencers who make “balance” look like a CrossFit routine.

Your half-baked plans still count. Your joy doesn’t need a five-year roadmap.

And your unshaved legs are nobody’s business.

You’re not behind.

You’re just here. And honestly that’s enough. Anyone who thinks otherwise can f—[PR team cuts the feed]
