A cool thing as an adult is that I get to make holidays how I want them, creating new rituals, and deciding which ones from my childhood to keep. Really healing when certain holidays have had harmful memories.
A cool thing as a parent is I get to experience the magic of holidays through my kids. I’m going trick or treating this year for the first time in 20 years!

It’s sooo cute and fun and feels just like when you were a kid but better because you are old enough to drive your own jet ski 🥹 also makes your parents happy 😭

It was as if all the yearning I had cultivated over the years, spending it hundred, and eventually thousands, of miles away from my family had finally subsided. I was sad that Christmas was spent away. I am looking forward to spending it in a new way I do feel a pang of guilt for this feeling tho. As if my body knows what is expected and feels shame for not feeling what one should feel. I miss them of course I do but I also feel happy with the distance. Are those things mutually exclusive?

I was lucky enough to visit both Connecticut and Missouri this summer. I usually do every other, but my whole family was going to be in Connecticut so my two kids and I went just for the weekend. I got to see my younger sisters that live in Spain for the first time in two years.
This summer has flown by and I am making a point to enjoy the rest of the season as much as possible. This is the first year in the last couple that I haven’t been looking forward to the next thing. I avert my gaze every time I’m in a store that already has Halloween stuff out. Let’s just be where we are, shall we?

This has become the norm and every day I grow more disturbed. I understand if somebody is behaving in a harmful way, that is good to document and put out there. But as a whole, it seems, we have become so comfortable with recording people just living their lives. I saw a video of a guy working and the caption of the video was that he was so hot, we needed to find him!!! Why are you providing the Internet with his face and location instead of just going up to talk to him? I saw another of two people on the subway, seemingly a couple, having a very emotional moment. How would you feel if you open up an app and saw a video like that of yourself? I don’t like this level of sibling society surveillance. Why are you videoing an elderly person with sad music dubbed over it to gain likes? It is WEIRD. Don’t even get me started on videos of children. It is WEIRD to use a stranger without their consent to get some kind of fake validation. Get a life.
I don’t mean to come on here and share something so negative, I just don’t have anywhere else to put it and it’s gnawing at me.
