this book is a true story about a therapist who starts going to therapy. you get to read about her experience and the experiences she has with her patients. one of my favorite reads that i’ll recommend to anyone who’ll listen 💕 it brought me out of a really tough time and made me feel grown!

I need a place to archive my thoughts in a dated manner, but also not on instagram. I used to post things pretty frequently on my stories and then have a 'highlights' of the year that I could go back to look at, but now, I am not so comfortable sharing on such a commercial soul sucking platform that is data mining and surveilling and selling. I also feel like I am not, in my core, a good person. There are very few people who, when I see their success and happiness, spark genuine joy for me. For the most, I have to take a deep breath and remind myself that their life does not affect mine and that I should not let the display of their wealth of happiness, opportunity and beauty spoil the pursuit of my own. Some days, I feel so engrossed in knowing and wanting to know the updates of all the people around me. Now, I just want to shrink and disappear, I do not want people to know what I am up to and I do not want to peripherally watch others either. I want to focus on myself. I feel like I need to cut the plug on instagram with a hard delete. Maybe I will just buy myself a photo printer and print out the 'instagram' shots with their memories and make my own photobook instead. But I need to find a new way to document and archive my life.

- these unskippable 2 minute ads on youtube are really putting me off from watching most of the videos I click to see based on the creator. I like that creator, yes. but not enough to sit through two minutes of an ad I'm not even interested in. - wasps. hate'em. Have been obsessively spraying for about a day now. - I have too much house work to do and not enough hours or energy points. or money to hire someone else to do it haha, rest in peace to me. - those jelly fish aquarium live streams are a game changer when you've got a child fighting sleep. however, it looks like they too turn the lights off around 11pm.

there's a ruhafza pink shopping bag in the car, a large mixed media journal and some oil pastel gel pens i spontaneously bought from walmart last week - from a splurge shop to make myself feel better and less alone - always for those split second moments of spontaneous art, and today happened to be that day. i drew the child in the park. the child is now asleep in his crib. good night.
