Jfc, no wonder this dude has worms in his “brain.”

Oooh, an easy touch…

Louis’ original and Iz’ rendition are two songs that can set my heart right when I’m down about almost anything.

Learning and accepting this truth, and that it applies to people/places as well, was the biggest breakthrough therapy ever brought me.

I am all I’ll ever truly need. I am also the only one whose presence I am entitled to. And I am enough. The people that come (or go) are the icing, not the cake.

Song lyrics, (some) movie/tv dialogue never leaves. Ex.: I recently caught Straight Up by Paula Abdul on the radio before my phone connected I still had all of the lyrics. It’s easily been 30 years since I heard or sang it. Names fade before faces do. A bit of quiet contemplation helps me find it.

Those are definitely stronger memories (faster, more detailed recall). But I also remember a lot that strangers or coworkers say/do, even if I only hear/see it as a bystander and not an active participant. As I said, it’s not perfect though. I gauge it at about 75-80% accurate and/or complete.

This time with the correct gif. 🤦🏻‍♀️
