I actually love when #DaylightSavingTime ends and it gets darker earlier. It's the perfect excuse to lean into that hygge life indoors! Ready to curl up with a new book, get some serious writing done, or just binge a fantastic TV series. #CozyVibes #WinterIsComing #BookLover #WritersLife

My OG Switch is a tank! It's still in fantastic condition, with a great battery and no drift. But after the new Nintendo Direct, it feels like all the best new games are for the Switch 2. The struggle is real. 😩

Honestly, a console that can't even hold a charge through the night is basically a glorified paperweight. I'm dreading the day mine starts to give up the ghost, but I guess that's what happens after years of dedicated service. Sounds like you definitely got your money's worth out of it!

Nintendo just announced their upcoming game lineup, and my OG Switch is already begging for mercy. Looks like I'm finally gonna have to get a Switch 2 my current one has seen better days. It's an end of an era, I guess. 🎮 #NintendoSwitch #NintendoSwitch2 #Gaming #NintendoDirect

After all these years, I'm still surprised there's no Apple Books audiobook app for Apple TV. It's the perfect device for it! We should be able to listen to audiobooks on our home theater systems, not just our phones.

Arthur's policy on such matters was absolute: once trust was broken, communication was over. He hadn't sent a scathing text or demanded an explanation. He'd simply blocked her from his life, every platform, every avenue of contact. www.justinaaronmorris.com/short-storie...

This newfound contentment was amplified by a recent, stark realization about trust. Just a few weeks ago, a friend – or rather, someone he thought was a friend – had crossed a line. It wasn't a misund...

I'm thrilled to be diving into a new project! I can't wait to share more about it with you, but not just yet.

Justin Aaron Morris @justinaaronmorris.bsky.social · Jun 30

After everything that's been going on, I had to take a moment and ask myself, "Who am I now?" I'm stepping into a completely unknown chapter of my life, and I'm diving in headfirst.

Out with the old, in with the new! I'm officially transitioning away from Apple products. Picking up a Chromebook Plus, and a new Pixel phone. Honestly, Apple hasn't impressed me since the OG iPhone. Excited for this new tech journey!

Justin Aaron Morris @justinaaronmorris.bsky.social · Jun 10

I'm officially back in the writing saddle! Currently crafting a brand new short story and feeling really excited about this project. Let the words flow!

Trading weekend bar trips for cozy nights in! 🏡 Excited to spend more time at home, investing in new books 📚, maybe some video games 🎮, and just soaking up that comfortable, safe vibe. My wallet's gonna thank me too!

Justin Aaron Morris @justinaaronmorris.bsky.social · May 29

Plot twist: I'm pretty sure my couch misses me more than I miss going out. 😂 Kidding (mostly)! Done with the bar scene for a while and ready to embrace my inner homebody.

Justin Aaron Morris @justinaaronmorris.bsky.social · May 2

Craving a weekend dedicated to the art of doing absolutely nothing. Just need to rest, recharge, and soak in the glorious quiet.

So, isn't it about time we gave this primary relationship the attention it deserves? I'm talking about nurturing your inner sass, celebrating your quirks, forgiving your flaws (because honey, we all have them!) www.justinaaronmorris.com/unfiltered-w...

And yes, it also means saying "no." Saying no to those constant invitations that lead to another night out. Saying no to the pressure to always be "on" and socializing with a drink in hand. Saying no to the feeling that I'm somehow missing out. www.justinaaronmorris.com/unfiltered-w...

Lately, it feels like my life has become a revolving door of downtown bars. Since moving, every invitation, every get-together seems to center around drinks. And honestly? I'm tired. Tired of the hazy...

This journey of saying no is about more than just declining requests. It's about rediscovering who I am, what brings me joy, and what nourishes my soul. #MondayBlog #writer #NewBlogPost www.justinaaronmorris.com/unfiltered-w...

For too long, I've operated under the unspoken rule of being "always there." A shoulder to cry on, an extra pair of hands, the person who could always be counted on, no matter the cost to myself. Whil...

This act of constant self-regulation, this careful dance around potential conflict, can feel like the responsible thing to do. You're being the bigger person, avoiding drama, keeping the peace. But what happens when that dam of restraint finally breaks?

The irony is often brutal. The people who witnessed your quiet endurance, your willingness to let things go, are often the most surprised – and sometimes the most critical – when the volcano finally e...

Navigating this city's sidewalks is an extreme sport thanks to all the construction. Pretty sure the workers think I've lost it for walking on the road. Send help (and clear sidewalks)! 🚜🚧👷🏾#constructionzone #pedestrianproblems

Late night vibes hitting just right ✨ Apartment in a state of organized chaos (the good kind!), mellow jazz setting the soundtrack. My absolute fave way to unwind. 😌 #latenight #jazz #apartmenttherapy #goodvibes

I've been there. The group chat is buzzing with plans, and a little voice inside you whispers, "Stay home." It can feel like a betrayal, a missed opportunity, or even a bit… lonely? ☕️📖 www.justinaaronmorris.com/unfiltered-w...
