The Gospel According to Hailo
Who I am in 2024
We are always changing. You're never the same person for two seconds. This used to scare me, until I learned how to let go. This is who I am and what I'm into now, at the beginning-ish of 2024. I might change between now and the end. Don't hold it against me.
Personal Philosophy
Be present. Imagine good things. I live in New York. I'm from Kansas. I'm 23. I'm reserved, I love to laugh.
Love Life
No texts -- Phone calls only
Coffee dates -- early morning or night - quick and more convenient
No apps
Privacy -- After last year, I learned that writing about your love life is a slippery slope (don't date a writer)
Diet/Exercise
I love the gym -- When asked how many sets I have left, I will growl. I listen to scripture while I workout. The Lord is my Shepherd. Let me chest press in peace
Sprinkles -- Last year I would come back from the club and have a cup of sprinkles with maraschino cherries. Yes, I had a cavity last year
Raw Carrots
Home cooking -- I used to make these elaborate recipes for my ex when we were living together, so now I'm trying to make one elaborate recipe for myself per week
No vape
Jogging in the rain
Beauty
Benefit love paint
Bedhead (literal)
Hobbies
Reading
Writing
Band
Walking around -- with an ice cream cone (spring and summer)
Long showers - a little music, a beverage, some candles and it's almost like a club, but better and cleaner and less grope-y
Kinks
Praise
Vintage Prada
Enemies
The J train
Sleep - I get bored if I get more than 6 hours. Also, nightmares.
Idols
Jesus
Pamela Anderson
Emma Boatman - Granny on my Mother's side

That's me! (this year).
You're going to meet the Hot Literati writers for the year in this format and in more sprawling pieces.
I'm really excited about hotliterati.com (make an account to comment). I miss when the internet was a fun, light place. When you got to choose what you saw. So, I say thank you for trusting Hot Literati with your time and your mind. We'll try to help make it a nice place to be.
