They sure did

Constantly exhausted, always feeling like I'm on the go, never able to slow down 😭

That is wild 😳

Jesus Christ on a cracker

Imagining how rich women would be if we got paid in money for all the emotional labor we do every single day.

It's not enjoyable.

I feel like when I get disappointed now people think I'm being a drama queen. I'm genuinely upset and trying to express hurt but the vibe I get is always too bad too sad life is unfair

Growing up feeling like you're not allowed to express disappointment is a special kind of torture as an adult.

It's also very much true to everything I know about you!

This fully sounds like something I can see you doing!

Catching up. I'm so so sorry ❤️‍🩹💜

Nightmare fuel!

If you've ever seen me, known when I've been struggling, and said anything kind or compassionate to me, please know how much I appreciate it.

I would wait until the night before a paper was due to type it out in a furious panic, where my folks would think the keyboard was about to be destroyed.

Ah yes, the focus of an impending deadline that can bring on that laser like focus.

I have a physically demanding job and I can hardly enjoy my downtime thanks to burnout.

Hate having that feeling where I feel invisible 😞😞😞

Sending you some of my spare spoons, that sounds eternally frustrating 💜❤️‍🩹

Mommy daughter selfies are rare so I enjoy and treasure them that much more ❤️

Victory Saturday for the UConn Huskies football team against UB! My third time seeing them play and the first where they won!

Sometimes lately the drinking goes down way too easy and then I feel like I get more emotional than usual. Double edged sword 😞

There is a certain level of exhaustion that I develop when the sun starts setting earlier and the nights are cooler that I am not at all a fan of 😭

Well, shit

😭😭

At least there are friends like you who get it.

🥺🤝🥺

Feels like my life on here sometimes. Except more like a brick wall. Never sure people notice but I still try anyway.

Have seen so much of the crazy shit the universe has sent your way. You are stronger than you give yourself credit for 💜

One of my happy places, where you always discover new things and new artifacts find their way there or into public view. The Baseball Hall of Fame, in Cooperstown, NY.

Love this for you!
