Don't stay silent - if you see ICE and CBP activity, call it in. I just called in about patrols in Cary.

I went to see Jukebox the Ghost (band that changed how I saw the world in 2021) and it was a phenomenal show, many other people masked, loved it. I cried and closed my eyes listening to the music. Their second album is what ultimately determines I wouldn't settle for my ex-fiance. Thanks JtG!

I am hesitant, however, because I come from a line of strong Hungarian women who were never compliant with bullshit. And I mean this deep from my soul when I say it:

Ruszkik haza.

If you were curious what high school me looked like - I constantly wore those AE jeans, that red blouse or a band t-shirt/Labyrinth t-shirt, and my chucks. I borrowed an ex-friend's jacket for this photo in downtown. My weight changed in ten years, but on the whole, I age well.

ignore my bedhead (god it's bad) but this is my lap swimming suit I picked up on sale to swim laps at the aquatic center!

I'm getting stronger and learning more swim techniques, plus I've made a new swim bestie who was born on Gma's birthday. I love Libras so much.

You know, I think swimming makes me look younger and that's always good. The place I go has all the equipment so I don't need to buy anything else. It's nice. I got the swimsuit from my neighbor who doesn't swim anymore. I make it work! I do have a broken pinky toe though - no idea how.

It's 4 am - I love my dog. He's my soul dog. Please let me keep him with me. He's why I'm alive. He started to open up and feel safe in my care THIS YEAR after over 3 years knowing me. He jumps in my lap - he wouldn't dare do that even this time last year. Please help.

My #ESA for #CPTSD, Duckie. I would not have him if it weren't for a few friends that recognized I needed him to get through Grandma's dementia diagnosis and death. This is his usual wiggle - he is naturally this happy to see people but he does extra dancing for me.

I missed them the last time they played for free near UNC, but this time I'm going! I have the ghost tattooed on my ankle.

Swam!

Happy 93rd Birthday, Grandma. I love you more. I'm playing your favorite songs - if everyone can do me a favor and stream Sentimental Journey by Ella Fitzgerald in honor of my grandma, it would mean a lot.

I love this photo because this is how I'll always dream of how the dinner parties always went. And the sunflower with my picture in the middle right behind them. Both of my Hungarian grandmas. What do I do with all the grief?

proof i'm a 90s kid - that much bedding could've killed me

another fucking death

my honorary grandma Ary, from whom I took her name and incorporated it into my own, died after living 100 years

that was my grandma's best friend, and my grandma's sister just died a month ago, they were all friends and close to grandma

I was really proud of this because I had felt so ugly and unwanted in my engagement and cancelled wedding. I finally started to feel good when I swam and now I can fit into clothes again.

I am proud that I can fit into this dress, but I should've known that my bikini size should've been 36DDD and i mistakenly chose DD and now I have to return stuff 😬 it would be perfect if the swim complex was private, but i don't think anyone wants to see all that rn

I can't make it up folks, this was after I had tried politely saying two times that I didn't think it was a good match.
September 19, 2025 at 7:44 AM
I miss you

The only positive - I've been swimming all summer because I couldn't afford anything else and I lost nearly 50 lbs. I bought this dress in January and it didn't fit. Betsey Johnson. Now, it fits. I am relieved to slowly recognize myself again.

At least when I'm dying, I'm enjoying my last free time.
