discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
As a Jew, I don't believe or follow acts of penance but I do beat myself up a lot for being human. So samesies? In an effort to work on that, I thought I would write it out here. Sigh. Where to start? A little background: I'm dealing with some life-changing shit at the moment. …
This week has been in-fucking-sane. Every day, there's been something new - either awesome or incredibly shitty. It's Friday the 13th (my fave!) & I couldn't enjoy it. Ugh. Okay, onto my story: Yeah. So that happened on Monday... I could spend hours telling you all the shitty things Boss #1 did, how much I …
In one of my favorite comics, Introvert Doodles, she wrote about this eye-opening reward system: I immediately was like, "OMG. Sign me up!" I hopped on over to a design site & created my own. Don't worry - these are for me & I don't plan on selling any of them. 🙂 I'm not about …
One of my besties & I have this joke. We call when we're awake all day with no naps an "all-dayer." Like the opposite of an "all-nighter." We tease about it - "Man, I'm so tired. I pulled an all-dayer." 😉 In all seriousness, I've learned recently to listen to my body more & to …
After doing some research & talking with my brother, I realized there are several items I don't bother with anymore. That isn't to say that my random list of things is the same for you. My life is different from yours. And there's nothing wrong with these things. They don't currently fit for me in …
OMG. I'm so tired of being so tired. I know. Every person alive is tired. And maybe the dead are too. 😉 And bitching about it is irritating & obnoxious. However... I've been like this for a good week or two. It doesn't seem to matter how much caffeine I'm taking in or how many …
I've been trying to be more "in tune" with my body & its needs. I know I've briefly mentioned something about this before but as a quick refresher, I've had this compulsion to get myself physically well. I know what I should do but there's this feeling of being overwhelmed by the enormity of it …
Do you ever feel like you're constantly running behind? Either with projects or your daily schedule or whatever else life throws at you? Because, same, fam. I'm not sure what it is lately but I feel like I can't get caught up. And "good enough" isn't good enough. For example, let's say there are 10 …
My desk is right next to my bedroom window. It works out like that not just because that's the only "good" spot in my room but also because I enjoy taking a few moments to look outside & awe at nature. You know I love birds. Ever since I was a little girl, nothing makes …
I'm feeling pretty low today. I'm frustrated with a relationship & I don't know what to do. Why can't they meet me halfway? Why can't they offer reassurance? They know I have anxiety. They know I have OCD. They know how I'm wired. They know I don't want to be like this. They know my …
