Finding the coziest path the discovering the most me version of myself. Probably sipping on tea, actual tea.
I’ve never felt so lost in my life at my big old age I thought I would know what I’m doing and what my next moves are for myself and for my family

I would like to go back to whatever era of my life was where someone would ask me what I was up to and I would say “frolicking about” and that was a proper answer to their question. So much so that they understood what I was up to.

The hardest thing I had to learn is that your two truths can be true at the same time as much as my brain struggles with that concept.

The amount of times Bluey has made me cry. Happy tears. Sad tears. Pulled my heart strings out of my chest. Made me want to be a better parent. I hope my kid always chooses to whimsical and silly and use his imagination.

AI wasn’t trying to take over everything when my kid was born but his name is really hard for devices to understand, but I’ll take comfort that it is not as bad as the name Zac. I was just trying not to make a funny acronym with his initials but here we are.

Looking for the cozy space on here where people like to doodle, write some things and journal amongst other things on a whim. My sister and I are doing a challenge where we are making these little spreads daily for some mental peace.

I get so flustered when I am learning a new language with how many homonyms there are because I have to scramble for context like this is level impossible. But now that I’m relearning my native language from the ground up, I realise how contextual it is as well… 🥴

I am also absolutely annoyed at how good I feel after developing good habits and making small changes over long periods of time and how well my life is improving. Why was I so resistant to this? Bonkers. Lifestyle change can be absolutely cozy and not the dumb glow up version in only 30 days. Sigh.

I made threads such a cozy comfy place that was full of language learning, food, art, books, whimsy and touching stories told by lovely humans and of course I will have to struggle and find all these creators off meta platforms.

I am so very much looking forward to saving money this year and literally only buying necessities from specific places…for no particular reason

I know people always say their kids say profound things when they don’t but my really 5yr old son did figure out that Keanu Reeves has a cameo in Sonic 1 when he “watches” Speed with Donut Lord and Pretzel Lady. He’s just Shadow obsessed and Keanu has such an epic voice. I was shocked.

I don’t think front load washers and dryers were a step forward in innovation 😫😫

Do we have anything like a social media onboarding for etiquette? Because many people are leaving and switching platforms only to find the same problems and I cannot help but think it has everything to do with not having some universal rules that seem like common sense but clearly are not.

I kinda forgot about this app and given my level of social media usage in the past, that kind of feels a bit like a flex…I don’t know

I have that need for instant gratification all of the time quickly and currently I’m cleaning my house and reorganizing everything but it feels like I’m further behind than when I started. And I want to stop so badly. But if I stop then I’ll be worse off than not cleaning. I hate this.

I like me better than I did at the same time last year and even though this year wrecked me I’m feeling good that I’m going in the right direction

I am wondering what the final tipping point will be for communities to leave certain platforms that feel like aren’t sustainable long term. And what will be in the place of it. It’s tough when thinking about where to start community building online these days.

If someone were to ask me how my mental health is doing…well I just watched like an hour of a lady who wakes her pig up who sleeps in a twin bed next to her bed and is grumpy in the mornings. Yeah.

I really leaned into self care and self love for the past few years and it was incredibly necessary for my growth and healing. But that era feels done and setting up for a grind feels about right. I love how life comes in seasons and I’m welcome to this change of pace.

With there being such a need for budget tightening, I wonder how many things deemed necessary for things like skincare are going to get paired back and considered absurd as the economy slows. I’m already seeing a bit of “it doesn’t need to be 18 steps” posts. Just curious.

You want nice skin? Don’t eat food that your body doesn’t fuck with, drink enough water that your pee is clearish and wear sunscreen. If you have a little aging that’s NORMAL then retinol or something like that. Don’t fuck with your barrier with all that other stuff. It’s simple I promise.

Okay, I feel like you’re onto something here. I gave up perfectionism last Tuesday so I’ll try this confidence thing out tomorrow. Thank you.
It is my understanding that people who are confident become confident by just deciding to be confident. So I have decided to be confident now. I apologize if this makes you fall in love with me immediately. Thank you.

I feel so uncomfortable knowing this now
I was not expecting the Pop-it Wikipedia to be such a roller coaster.
