• I accidentally burn my sandwich almost every time I make it.  I now crave it burnt. Maybe it’s not an accident anymore. • I’ve dancing my whole life.  I dance every day.  I sometimes dance very weird and wonder if that is going to affect my kids in a weird way down the line. • I’m an external processor and talk to myself a lot, something I also wonder will mess up my kids.  • I generally do what I want and ask for permission later.  I’ve been learning over the past decade with my husband that’s not the best way to be in partnership. • Jungian therapy saved my life. • Reconnecting with my spiritually saved my life.  I don’t know what it is, but there’s something.   • Nature greatly soothes me and is my greatest teacher. • I am grounded yet light.   • I remember the day I started self harming.  I remember the day I decided to stop. • It’s easier for me to do something for someone else than for myself, but I’ve gotten better with that. • I am very loving.  I am very forgiving.  I am not naive. • I have fun every day because I am a fun person. • I love people.  There were years I hated people.  My husband has shown me how to make friendships everywhere I go.   • I stay anonymous on here because I’m scared a parent I work with will join one day and see some of my no filter suggestions, i.e. “hard nips.” • I have 5 siblings.  We weren’t close growing up.  We’re close now even though we live far apart.  • The running joke from my childhood is that they never knew where I was. • I was very surprised at the desire to get married and have kids.  When we bought a house in the suburbs I had a rather large existential crisis that I became boring.  Myself and my life are anything but. • I love being active.  I hate living somewhere car centric.  I miss riding my bike everywhere.  • I’m sober, but not because I was an addict.  I wish there was another term for being sober because you were playing out all your emotional issues with drugs and alcohol and it just isn’t appealing now that you’ve healed. • I have a raspy voice, but it used to be raspier.  I have nodules on my vocal cords. When I was 8 I was given a silver whistle to blow instead of yell.  I didn’t use it.  It got worse once I started smoking.  My voice is much sweeter now.

Making life adjustments positively

Semi-personal post but… We sort of knew for a bit that our daughter had some things that weren’t entirely normal. We finally decided to go get some tests ran and it’s turns out that she might have some type of autism or neuro-divergence. This isn’t surprising as I’ve always known that I had some things as a kid that we never got to check out due to our financial situations. After a long zoom call and a few hours of paperwork, our next 2-3 months are filled with doctor appointments and occupational & speech therapy appointments for her. Now, we have no issue with her being neuro-divergent or even autistic, but if I’m being super honest my initial thought was how this was going to throw off our routine and systems and plans and I had to stop myself and go ??? BRO ??? How wonderful is it that she’s going to get the help I never got!!! How amazing is it that I turned out fine without help; imagine how much better she’s going to be!!! So much support and so much help available today, so different than it was in the early 00’s when I was a kid!!! It’s a beautiful thing to adjust your perspective and go from what could be a defeating attitude to instead accepting & even celebrating the cards you’ve been dealt and not letting them defeat you. I’m excited for her and our family and I can’t wait to see what this process is like and how much better life is going to be for her. Until then, I’ll listen to her monologue entirely Bluey episodes start-to-finish because she memorizes them all??? Amazing. Wonderful. Love her so much.

because we are bad

lily bailey is so incredible. to publicize some of your most intrusive thoughts is no joke although there is a sense of humor to her recounts that i really really loved wow this book made me cry for my mom and empathize with her in such an immense way feel like i have such a new understanding of OCD and the struggles those with it face looping thoughts are apparent in numerous disorders being stuck in your head can be really exhausting i am so grateful for any source of solace n relief

being a nerd about stuff

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

not being on tiktok

i had it for a little over a year until i was like wow this is actually terrible! i genuinely think it has negatively impacted society by ruining people’s attention spans, having a horrific algorithm, and most of all by the most mind-numbing or outright harmful trends - fake words that people now use IRL (“unalive”), trad wife tiktok, shein hauls, body-focused fitness vids that encourage fatphobia and unhealthy habits, shallow political/feminist theory and queer discourse, “alpha male” podcaster tiktok, encouraging overconsumption in general, trends ruining local spots or niche things… the list goes on
