T-minus about 12 hours until my long weekend starts and Pokémon Z-A comes out.

I made my therapist cry tonight. I win therapy.

It very likely will happen since I don’t have to get up early tomorrow 😂

If I didn’t have to wake up so early I would have done it!

It’s 11:30PM. I have to be at work at 6:45AM tomorrow morning. Do you know what I want to do right now? Rearrange my room……….

It’s going to be in the upper 70s this weekend, but I don’t care. I’m making chili.

New Brandi Carlile album next month can only mean a tour is around the corner, right?

Take care and be kind to yourself, Em. You deserve it 💚

3) Find people that will uplift you. It might take some time and it will be lonely at first, but you’re people are out there (and if you need someone in the meantime, my DMs are open)

4) I’m super proud of you for being here and being vulnerable enough to ask this.

Here’s what I’ve got:
1) as corny as this sounds, it does get better. Doesn’t mean it’ll all be good, but you can get through it.

2) There is no timeline or expectation of how you should live your life. Find something that brings you joy and lean into that.

You are absolutely not alone. There have been 2 separate times in my life that I did not want to be here anymore because my life felt hopeless.

Honestly, the first time was fear of the unknown. Therapy helped me the second time. I know therapy isn’t possible or right for everyone.

This is the most delicious thing I’ve made in a long time

I want that just tattooed on my forehead because that’s constantly what I’m thinking.

We really do live in the dumbest possible timeline

I know others have said this, but booking a flight is a job for a computer, not a phone. It feels wrong doing it on the phone

I fear this will be another conversation about gun control that gets lost in the mix and becomes last week’s news and we will move on until the next tragedy. That’s how is seems to go in this country. We’re so desensitized to everything that it’s normal now.

No one should have to experience that, least of all CHILDREN. You cannot be “pro-life” and claim to have children’s interests at heart while actively restricting stricter gun laws. It’s not possible.

To the people saying “well they’ll just find a way to get guns anyway”. Yeah, I’m sure they will and there should be consequences. Just like stealing a car or anything else. I’ve lost family members to gun violence. I have had a gun in my face. It’s fucking terrifying.

I don’t want to ban all guns. I get why people have them, but at no point should anyone have an assault rifle that is designed to kill hundreds. At no point should a background check NOT be done to own a gun. We are the only country that this happens in DAILY and we have the laziest gun laws.

I HATED Charlie Kirk and everything he stood for. My sadness and grief right now is not for him. It’s for a country that I used to have hope for. It’s so clear to me that we value guns and violence over people. The problem is and always has been the guns. Common sense gun laws should be the MINIMUM.

I’m sitting by the real life Statlor and Waldorf right now

I’m wearing new shoes to the Ren Faire today. Please say a prayer for my feet. I know I’m going to regret this, but it’s for the look

You are going to be the villain is some people's stories and that's okay. Especially if it's because you were doing what's best for you and your well being. There's only one you. You will find other people.

It’s amazing how much better you feel when you surround yourself with people who lift you up rather than tear you down.

I hate trying to be the bigger person when I just want to be a petty bitch.

I love that you can recognize that you have a need for it. I have a friend going through the same thing right now. I’m sending you lots of love and I’m proud of you for working on you.

I love that. My therapist is most definitely not and routinely calls cozy games “soft core” games and it makes me giggle every time 😂 Also, you’re therapist has amazing taste

Prioritizing people that fill my heart instead of drain me has been so good for my mental health.
