    So you know I’ve been sorting through things mentally & reinforcing some boundaries. I’ve been on this mental decluttering journey for close to ten years now.

  • How I Got Mentally Stronger

    Whew, nelly. It’s been interesting lately. Turns out, when you eliminate the distractions, you’re forced to work on your deep seated issues. And lemme tell you – it’s been heavy.

    Gentle Healing

    For the past few days (maybe a week), I’ve been practicing showing myself some gentleness. And because I’m only in the first few days, I’m not sure how great I’ll be at explaining it, but I’ll do my best. I’m learning to speak kindly to myself, to slow down, & to allow myself to completely

    So remember how I mentioned that I’ve been frustrated with work? It’s still there but after about 3-4 months of being bitched at every day, it finally dwindled down. I think what did it was Boss made a snide comment & I snapped back. I wasn’t rude but I was direct. She had a shocked

  • Feeling Lonely – Update

    So I figured I should give an update on that outing with friends. Are you ready? This is rich. Friend 1 – Completely forgot we made plans. Like straight up texted me, “What are you up to tonight? I’m not doing anything!” Friend 2 – Canceled last minute. Shocker. I made the mental note to

    OMGGGG… I’m so tired of being stressed the fuck out & feeling useless in life. Let me explain. I love my job. Really. But I’ve gone through some changes that pretty much started about 4 months ago. I went from a team with a manager with severe ADHD & zero communication to moving to a

    Phase 1

    Let’s jump right into it. I feel like I’m in this new phase of life. I’m cutting the fat in areas I spent far too long trying to maintain or care for. I can honestly say I’ve worked issues through every direction and every angle, and I know what’s going to work for me and

    2025

    Hey As you can see, I took some time off. Well, a lot of time. It was beyond needed & I feel way stronger now than I was this time last year. 2024 might have been the hardest year I’ve gone through. My dad died within the first week, which should’ve been my sign that
