Hi. I am Agatha Davis Rose.
Not really. That’s my pen name.
But mostly everything else here is real. Like too real.
I want somewhere that I can openly share all my hurt, shame, disillusionments, and more. Anonymously. For now.
I have started many blogs and find that once I know that people are reading (and I know which people are reading), I feel self conscious and edit myself. Eventually the writing turns into a fake person anyways.
Format
This space will have a few different formats. There might be poems, stories, rants, confessions, and/or brain dumps. I am also thinking about putting some of my experiences into book form and I might work some of that out here.
I also hope to have reader contributions as well. I’d love to know that I’m not alone over here falling for false promises or false persons.
Behind the Blog Name
I am a fan of 30 Rock. One of the episodes involves beloved goofball star, Tracy Jordan, saying, “What’s the past tense of scammed? Is it scrumped? Liz Lemon, you just got scrumped.”
Scrumped to me means scammed. Or cheated. Or lied to. Or fucked with.
My original website was going to be called, “Scrumped,” but the domain is about $3,000 and I decided I wanted to have a more hopeful outlook on my life. I don’t want to be settled on being scrumped. I want to get unscrumped.
Why Should You Read?
That is a great question. I’m often surprised people want to read anything I write. I think the best reason for you to read anything on this website is to remind yourself that you aren’t alone. You aren’t gullible for buying into the lies of a pyramid scheme. You aren’t stupid for believing your best friend’s tall tales. You are just human.
Humans need connection. In that search for connection, sometimes we get burned. Maybe this is the salve for your burn?
Or maybe you just want some entertainment. Because some of these stories are wild.
Contact
If you want to reach out or submit a story/poem/writing of your own, contact me at agatha davis rose AT gmail DOT com. If you’re curious, that formatting is so weird so that I get less spam. 💀
