discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 …
I was thinking about my last post & how I've been trying to make my peace with the fact that it's okay to stick with what works. There might be something bigger & better out there but it's not worth the time, energy, or drama to try to figure it out. To piggyback on that …
I forgot to write these out. Haha - whoops! Let's jump right into it! https://media.giphy.com/media/j2ZHOOYR7JjwpifMY7/giphy.gif A quick recap of what I was working on. As a reminder, my notes for this month will be italicized.SEPTEMBER GOALS FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS, I WILL:– use what I have in-house as much as I can ... Meh. …
