2318 I dreamt about a high school reunion again. Why does that keep happening? It's so bizarre. This one was at a hockey game & I had a navy blue bodycon dress & red stilettos. Also, I was besties with Jason Alexander & Joey Tribbiani. Not Matt LeBlanc... Joey. Job #1 seems like it's grasping …
Micro-Journaling: Day 1
2129 I feel like I'm in this new area of my life where good things are coming my way. I'm not into the whole "law of attraction" belief. But this is like a gut feeling. Maybe it's just from being happier from separating myself from the drainers or what. I'm not sure. If I could …
Micro-Journaling: Day 0
Oh hello :)I watched this YouTube video by Struthless which was just exactly what I needed. I mean, as you know (from here & here), I've been stepping back from making myself too accessible to others. People take advantage & I've been drained & unable to recharge. I've been like this for years. Ugh. No …
Restricting access
I was thinking about how much I've stepped back lately. I mean, I haven't posted here yet this month. I'm barely online for funsies anymore. I've been in this weird stage of my life when I'm enjoying the quiet, simple silence.Part of that is because I feel invisible. I'm not sure how I'm consistently being …
Short stories – Vol 2
Let's jump right into it... STORY 1: COVID IS A BITCH Special thank you to a family member who had COVID, didn't disclose this information or take any precautions, & spent all afternoon with me. They were coughing & sneezing & said, "It was just the end of a cold" when it clearly wasn't the …
Devil apps
I recently heard Struthless refer to social media as "the devil apps" & holy shit is that perfect. They call to us, pull us away, & are oh-so-tempting to spend an assload of time on. https://media.giphy.com/media/Gbl6TLFdgsbaWMY83Z/giphy.gif I mean, I agree lol I recently hopped on a few more social media apps. Really, just to check …
Alone
Because I promised my therapist I would reach out when I felt like this, I'm choosing to reach out here. This is my only avenue where I can get full attention & I can be myself. This isn't a fun post. I'm just being raw & real. No gifs, no bells & whistles, no funny …
November 2021 Goals
Okay, I know what you're thinking, "SC...it's almost the end of December." I know. But I realized I never posted it so here we go! https://media.giphy.com/media/l1KtXmfi3EnjM5zpK/giphy.gif OCTOBER GOALSFOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS, I WILL:– create new, sustainable habits (via baby steps) that will help me succeed. ... This has been life-changing. Tiny, baby steps are …
Short stories
Oh, man. It's been a hot minute. I've missed talking to you & I wanna get you all caught up. I've got a lot on my mind & my poor friends are probably sick of me bitching to them. So in no particular order, let's dive into my book of latest short stories. This will …
Cherry-picking
I've been thinking about this phrase lately. Cherry-picking. It's usually said in a negative connotation. At least, that's been my experience. Growing up, I was told to not "cherry-pick" the advice or instruction I was given. I wasn't supposed to be "picky" with anything in life. I was to be "grateful." Blah, blah, blah. You …
