Family gatherings on holidays or other celebrations can be a complicated mess for people in any kind of relationship. Making wild assumptions about someone's plans is absurd. When closed-minded people label someone's choices as "shame," all they're really doing is revealing their own ignorance.

I feel immense gratitude toward everyone who has supported me during my writing journey.

I'm still a work in progress. I haven't given up yet. A lot of that has to do with the encouragement and advice I have been fortunate to receive.

I created a few extra variations as seen in the final frame.

A common misconception is that jealousy is a litmus test of whether or not a person cares deeply for someone else.

Choosing compersion over control seems like a kinder and healthier option.

I'm so triggered this morning. It has already started. I've seen people posting desserts with cranberries and cranberry sauce.

I will say this only once: CRANBERRIES DON'T BELONG IN DESSERTS.

Jealousy is actually more destructive in monogamous relationships than polyamorous ones.

Show RESPECT
Respect isn't complicated.
We honor names, titles, and ranks because we value people.
Pronouns are no different.
They're part of who someone is.
Using them correctly costs nothing but means everything.

I can’t help but get a little nutty, and needed walnuts too.
