I’m always amazed when managers who lead with fear are surprised when the people they’re in charge of, run.

Is that not an appropriate reaction to fear?

Taylor Swift must be getting a helluva lot of flack if her social media team is limiting replies…

I found it incredibly ironic driving home yesterday alongside a car that had a bumper sticker saying “share the road” and they were actively driving on the line or into my lane.

Share the road indeed.

It’s exhausting.

Can I go back to bed now?

I know what I need to do.
Take it one day at a time, be kind to myself, gentle, start eliminating stressors, get therapy.

Just part of me wishes I didn’t have to do so much work just to get a moderate level of comfort.

But life could be worse. So I have to practice gratitude at the same time

I got a new dog (my baby Sky 🩵)
I’m fostering a second dog (what timing 😭)
And every morning I wake up in some sort of musculoskeletal pain. Today’s flavour was random arm pain, feet, hip and general soreness.
I LOVE waking up feeling like I’ve been hit by a bus despite having done nothing much

Now it’s 2025, and over the last 7 years the stress has gradually piled up.

My job has become more demanding
My heart dog crossed the 🌈 bridge
My beautiful kitty followed a year and a half later
I spent 3 years looking for a house (finally found one!) so say hello to a new (but good) stress!

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2018. I’ve avoided the dx since because the initial treatment borked my stomach. Too strong an NSAID on too many empty stomachs, not thinking properly.

I also got rid of some major stressors, which seemed to help. Then the pandemic came, & I could stand still.

There are thoughts that pass through my head that I do not share.

B/c I think they’re inappropriate and deserve no air, & need deconstructing.

It’s not b/c I believe these things to be true & therefore do not share

It is b/c I believe I am capable of growth & will do the work.

Try it.

I’m trying to change my mindset on certain things from, “I have to” to “I get to”

Not for everything, cause yeah sometimes I have to do something and I don’t wanna.

But there’s stuff I’ve chosen to do that I’ve started to feel overwhelmed about and resent, and that’s bringing me down

Anyone else feel like typing on a touch screen is a skill you just can’t get better at?

No? Just me?

Ok.

Some days all I can do is rot on the couch, scrolling endlessly, while watching one of my favourite streamers.

I always feel guilty doing it, but sometimes it can’t be helped.

My current hyper fixation with (over?) house listings can run its course already.

I’m… I’m over it now OK?

I miss the internet circa 1995.

If so, why make others have to manage that discomfort?

This needs to be nuanced, as some discomfort is important & necessarily especially when there’s massive global issues going on.

But if it’s just a really fucking sad story just maybe sit with your feelings for a minute?

I think sometimes it’s important to stop, pause if you will, before sharing something on social media.

Whether through a repost or a DM, it’s important to stop & think about why you’re sharing it.

Is it because it made you feel uncomfortable & that discomfort is hard to manage alone?

Getting cold called on LinkedIn, or having people use my LinkedIN to send me a cold call email, and then get 100% of the information in my bio wrong is annoying and unprofessional.

The lack of attention to detail makes me want to blacklist those companies immediately.

So glad to make it to Friday where I can rot on the couch and not have to worry so much about horrible drivers.

Legit, having 10+ years experience driving daily for work, y’all need to go back to driving school or it needs to be brought back before more people get licenses.

Like… yikes.

I swear the birds in my neighbourhood choose violence every day. They start singing at 3:30 and stop at 5am.

Which is enough to pull me out of a dead sleep and then make the last 2 hours of sleep I get utter shite.

This may very well make me sign up for headspace again… lol

God I wish the birds would stfu at 4am. FFS

One of the hardest things to do as someone who oft gives others the benefit of the doubt is developing the skill of assuming everyone is out to get a piece of you, for their betterment.

Especially if they don’t know you, & even if they do.

It makes protecting yourself hard & the outlook bleak.

Watching landlords complain about tenants is a trip.

They’re likely the same people who wouldn’t want housing prices to fall which would allow more people to be homeowners & not tenants.

God forbid they lose money on an investment.

Wait… isn’t that what’s happening to millions now in stocks?

Stop.
Justifying.
Housing.
Prices.

Show me an “investment” that grows almost 380% in 25 years. WITHOUT adding to it!

Tell me why when this place sold in ~ 7 days in ‘00 why it’s ok it’s now almost sat a year?

TAKE THE GODDAMNED HINT

This should be straight up a crime.

Remember: if you’re apologizing for how someone feels, and not how you made them feel, then you aren’t taking accountability for your part in their feelings.

Victory has 1000 fathers
Defeat is an orphan

Trust takes years to build
Seconds to break
Forever to repair
