Self (care)...

    Out of all of the things I should have been doing today, I did absolutely nothing. I checked nothing off my check list, I didn’t work on my Halloween costume, I didn’t work on the goodie bags for the kids, I didn’t do a goddamn thing.

 

    I mean, I guess I did paint! But that’s about it! 

 

    Some days I just feel like there is absolutely nothing to be done, even if the list tells you that you should be going into overdrive. The list is a liar. 

 

    Self care sometimes looks like ignoring the list and saying to hell with unnecessary things and yes to yourself! 

 

 

    I did however cut my own hair, a few inches and gave myself a nice, darker color to bring in the looming new season!

This way I can bake 2 if I want instead of making up a whole batch.

Thanks for reminding me of my inability to stick to the budget I created each week! I go over it by an offensive amount each week! I should know by now that I can't even follow my own rules.  If you're good at this kind of stuff, I applaud you!  XOXO  Also, thanks for selling me out, SIRI- you bitch!

What would you tell your former self if you had the chance?

So yesterday was all about confessions and today I am going to talk about what I wish I knew back then that I know now.   I have always thought the world was out to get me. If not the world, the people in my world. I haven ’t always had the easiest time and I have had some hard shit happen in my life; but who hasn’t?    Here’s a list of some of the things I've dealt with: 1.  Being an overweight child 2.  Having undiagnosed anxiety 3.  Being bullied 4.  Having literally no self confidence  5.  Being completely introverted   And h ere are the things I wish I could have said to myself back then :   Bullies:    It’s hard to even describe what it’s like to be bullied. Unless you’ve been there you just don’t know. My parents always made sure I had nice, name brand clothes and that I had anything I ever needed. But it didn’t matter, people couldn’t get over my size long enough to see that I had a good personality. And eventually...
