    all the cool kids use subheadings

Subheadings

Subheadings are used by the cool kids because subheadings are useful.

1. They prepare readers for the content to come. This is a good thing because if the reader continues past the heading, it's because they are interested in the proposed content. A subheading is like saying, "Do you want to hear more?"

2. They help the writer focus. Life presents an infinite number of subheadings. Where should we put our attention? What's important? What's actually interesting and readable? How can we best reveal ourselves (Is that the purpose of Pubski?) while also amusing others?

3. Subheadings can also challenge us to think differently.

Quatrarius says, "pubski's harder than it appears"

It's easier if one uses subheadings. Here's some:

Feelings

Wishes, Hopes, Dreams

Epiphanies and Awakenings

Identity-Defining Experience

What I'm Doing Right Now

I find all of those inviting and might use them myself.
