Thank you for sharing this, Patricia. It’s a poignant message and a powerful reminder.

And I’d wager, you haven’t lost the knack.

It’s a gem patiently waiting to be unearthed again, polished off, and held up to the light … if ever you feel so inclined.

I hazard this is a pretty universal experience; part of existing and persisting as a human organism —from one day to the next lol.

Thanks! It’s helpful processing through daily life’s joys, existential dread, and everything in between. lol.

I agree — I see the spring fawn in all of us.

I’m continually trying to mindfully tap into that part of my core, which sometimes feels buried under the sediment of experiences and time.

Thanks Patricia!

That’s one thing I think you (and anyone who has followed me for any extent of time) comes to know:

I’m just gonna be me.
A sometimes messy, generally happy-spirited perfectionist lol.

Anyone wanting an aspirationally happy, yet grounded in reality community — is welcome.

Love this.

This is simply stunning.

“There You Are.”

Whenever I see someone with a tattoo that says “I contain multitudes”, I think to myself:

“My multitudes are more like a schizophrenic with various and assorted, raggedy sock puppets … all fighting for the mic in the toy box of my head.” 😭🧦🧠😆

Sending out my absolute deepest love to my husband and our family, after the unexpected loss of his father.

There truly are no sufficient words for times like these.

A gentle reminder to cherish those around you, every second you can.

nothing hits quite like when my big, muscular husband asks me to open a jar for him he’s been struggling with and i pop it with no effort.

i always tell him he must have loosened it when he tried.

not convinced this isn’t a con at this point simply to make me feel good … he’s like that lol.

Awww a hard-earned, but ridiculously satisfying victory. Just over 3 hours!

heard. the not judging yourself part is hard and ongoing work. lol.

thanks Kevvo, much appreciated.
and will try to be. 🙃

thanks Joeypals! 🙃🙃

thank you!! 💕

thanks Marc! 🙃🙃

January 27th was a big day for me.

Even though I hadn’t really talked about this part of my journey publicly until recently — the daily community & support so many of you have given or been a part of across my social media has meant more than you know.

I appreciate you all and thank you. ❤️

congratulations on what i know must feel like a big step!

let’s indeed build a friendly, supportive, positive and connected community!

heard. sometimes “in theory” you want to be doing something creative, but then when we go to do it your like “meh”.

try not to judge yourself too harshly. something will come along and you’ll be like “ahh yes, this!”.

i also to crochet but its not a daily thing for me. i made 5 afghans last year.😅

never stop challenging yourself.

thanks for your encouragement, kevvo. it’s appreciated more than you know. 💕

love that!

it’s entirely up to you love. i’m not sure what the right answer is at this point even for myself.

i just know i would rather build another authentic, caring and engaged community of friends / followers here than spend more time over there.

Sanctuary / Sinkhole a nest, a burrow, a gravity well which one it is I cannot tell I snuggle, I cocoon, I stay inside cause it’s comfy or am I trying to hide surrounded by my nicks and knacks little green plants, bric-a-brac items supposed to evoke home but wondering if it is my tomb laid out offerings to myself cherished treasures line my shelf mementos from a life since passed memories framed help moments last gadgets and screens also occupy my little den sheltered from outside connectivity is their promised ply but time their truth it does belie oft I wonder if it’s just me is this the way i’m meant to be have I lost some inner driving force has anxiety obscured my life’s true course either way still here I lay with my little screen in my nest all day. — Reed Kelly, Jan 2025

i’ve always appreciated that my followers have accepted that i’m not a “niche creator”.

sometimes it’s circus, cheeky pics, survivor things, life stuff.

i write prose & poetry … a lot.

i think bluesky is gonna be the place i start sharing some works.

i hope there’s room for it here. 🙃

I love this part of bluesky and thanks for breaking it down so clearly!
