I killed a spider
Not a murderous brown recluse
Nor even a black widow
And if the truth were told this
Was only a small
Sort of papery spider
Who should have run
When I picked up the book
But she didnāt
And she scared me
And I smashed her
I donāt think
Iām allowed
To kill something
Because I am
Frightened

exam tomorrow, impostor syndrome, fear, regret, frustration.
I found a spider on my bathroom wall, I decided to chat with her for a little while. I warned her not to crawl on me when iām sleeping or on my bed, and kindly asked not to have babies. I also gently asked her not to go into my dirty laundry or when I put it in the washing machine, she will die. I donāt wanna kill her, she lives in my house too, since she canāt pay rent I asked for some pest control activities, I hope she will agree to these terms.
my little silent roommate, I have decided itās name will be Fern. I hope Fern will bring me luck for my exam tomorrow, next time I see her I shall tell her about it.
thanks Fern, goodnight and eat well.

my biggest fear is bugs and spiders especially daddy long legs spiders cause theyāre disgusting HOWEVER sometimes i let it slide if i find one in my room cause itās not close enough to bother me
one lived in my wardrobe for months cause it was out of the way and i would only have to see it if i got clothes out so that was fine but then it just disappeared so rip i guess unless itās living in some corner
just found one this morning in a corner under my shelves and u know what it can live! i literally canāt see it unless i bend down from a certain angle so whatever as long as i donāt see it move itās fine

I have these spiders that live in my house called flatties and I love them. They are so silly and they are always running around. They don't make webs, they hunt their prey like some kind of crab. Did you know tarantulas live 20-25 years? That's incredible. I have many tarantulas that live in my yard and they love chilling outside their hole and night every summer. Before I moved into this house I was so scared of bugs. I had no choice but to face my fears and now I like spiders. Life will change you, won't it?
ps. I wanted to include a flattie picture but i decided not to out of consideration for others who are scared of bugs. so google them if you are curious!

Iām not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But itās pretty extreme when people say they āhate kidsā and I often feel itās a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids āshould be.ā That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
Itās fucking hard to be a kid. Youāre dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. Itās confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when theyāre brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe thatās the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.
