A penny for your thoughts

Wow. It’s been a minute since I’ve been active.

I guess an update would include:

1. I miss what Tumblr used to be (before Yahoo) and it still felt safe and authentic to post

2. I’ve grown up in the last howevermanyyears and figured out how to realistically make a difference for the environment and animals in at least my general vicinity

3. I’ve been through so much therapy and I love it, and don’t necessarily want to be ‘done’ because it’s been very healing and helpful ❤️ But… At some point, we all should stop being dependent on others for validation and find internal validation (I’m definitely not there yet, but the long-term goal is to be).

I’m an open book if anyone is curious. I’ve loved and hated my life, and I’d be thrilled to share what I learned with you.

“Let them judge you. Let them misunderstand you. Let them gossip about you. Their opinions aren’t your problems. You stay kind, committed to love, and free in your authenticity. No matter what they do or say, don’t you dare doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth. Just keep shining like you do.”

“You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.”

“Because life is like that, isn’t it? If you thought of all the tiny things that divert your path one way or another, some good, some bad, you’d never do anything ever again. And some people don’t. Some people go through life not really deciding to do much, not wanting to, always too fearful of the consequences to try something new. Of course, that in itself is also a decision.”

— Jenny Colgan, The Bookshop on the Corner
