Thank you to my community - I am so refreshed this weekend.

I'm unsure if I got that extra hour of sleep though LOL

Almost everything I do is intentional. So yes, it's a sign. And yes, it's for you. 😂😂 it's November🫠🫠

Honestly, if I don't make plans on Friday night - I'm already in bed by 8 pm lmao. And because I slept early I end up being awake in the middle of the night

Week 9✅ Double digits next week.

Talk to me nice😏

Wow, the first quarter ends next Friday - I'm actually surviving? LOL

Yessss! Happy FAHM to you! Hope your semester is going well!

This math curriculum is nice and fun, but the preparation for this is a lot - especially when the materials are not directly in your classroom.....

On the verge of burnout.

I am having a lot of thoughts today & one of them is I hope life just gets a little kinder to us all. (And im just thinking of myself too right now)

Proud of myself for exercising self-control and not ordering Crumbl Cookies today after having a not so great day.

Today was one of them days....😬

Okay, I am finally watching K-Pop Demon Hunters...

Hoping my dreams tonight help me escape a bit. Hoping my dreams includes that person in it again. Hoping that tonight's sleep is nice and long.

One question asked was what advice/affirmation id give myself. And i said, "You are lovable now and you don't need to please people to love you" which later followed up in a question about trait to give up which is "people pleasing."

I grew up with this tight Filipino community when I was a kid, i only talk to two of them now (not including my brother) && today during dinner and the drive home we just exchanged deep questions - and wow, that was so good. Being vulnerable about our life and shortcomings.

I had a very, very soul filling weekend && again reminders that these experiences of love, community, and connection override the sense of needing to be perfect at work. I did not have the Sunday scaries❤️

honestly, a man who reads a book in this coffee shop got me in my butterflies 😍🤣😂😮‍💨😮‍💨 Like tell me what you reading, what you like about it, and if I should read it. 😂😆🤣

Y'all my students are saying 6-7 in Tagalog to me. && im kinda impressed. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Good morning, community. Happy Friday🧘🏽‍♂️😮‍💨❤️

Damn, you know I'm so cooked when they consistently just keep appearing in your dreams. Like...

On Grey's Anatomy, I know I'm a hybrid Cristina and Bailey. I have their intensity, but I have Bailey's softness at times. && this came up bc I saw what Shonda said on that podcast and I had to think about it a little.

I am totally being challenged with my inner self right now because I'm going to need to lean on people and ask for support/help at work for this foot situation & I know I struggle asking for it/being hyperindependent.

Going from really proud of yourself and confident to a downward spiral where you feel a little sad, hopeless is real. And you're figuring out how to get back up.

Wondering if doctors get continuing education credits on like how to talk to patients about sensitive issues because we def. did at nursing school and as teachers. I'm like frustrated with this weight conversation because I told him he is not even looking at my growth the last two years.

Yepp, I will definitely be going to work this week in crutches. sigh.

Okay that ish be live, lmao.

LOL my friend and I picking some photos and looking through some albums, && shxt people definitely fumbled me😂😂😂 signed, an Aquarius @melissdmarie.bsky.social 😂😂😂
