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 …
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 …

J-O-Y
Do you ever look back at your childhood & think it was normal...until you start talking to others? I'm not just talking about the obvious damage like abuse. My brother & I were raised in a fundamental Christian home. Televangelists were to be honored & respected, regardless of their slimy ways. Halloween was "evil." And …
10 things I no longer do or buy – Part 2
I wrote the original list here & I was thinking that it was time for an updated list. I mean, it has been a year & I think quarantine has shifted everyone's priorities. I think we all have realized what we can live without & what is truly important to us. For me, I learned …
