An important part of an article and a sadly funny meme. I cry a lot and I think it is a strength of mine. Most of my life I was extremely embarrassed when I cried in public, but now I realize that it means I’m not numb or apathetic. It means I am authentic and can process my feelings.

Which picture do you like best? Even though the first picture is the most striking, my favorite is the second, darker picture. I colored this picture during my church retreat a few weekends ago. I have found that coloring is a great way for me to regulate my emotions when feeling big feelings.

"Costumes that flatter and empower..."
Does this strike you as flattering and empowering? In my 20s I was sexy during Halloween, but now that I'm middle-aged, apparently I'm now a troll... lol.

I pulled these cards and they are eerily right. I’m dealing with big time resentment but these cards give me hope.

Two movies I've watched recently. The Vourdalak is awesome! I love original vampire stories, and the vampire in this movie is a very creepy puppet. Memoir of a Snail is also very good, and it's Claymation. Just be warned: it is a tearjerker #vampires #puppetry #claymation
