I didn’t anticipate how freeing and liberating saying “no” could be. I’ve learned how to preserve my energy and protect my peace.

What if I don’t listen to all the negative voices in my head and just pick back up where I left off and just choose to keep going? You can do that? Turns out yes, yes you can.

I have resented Valentine’s day for years. I am bothered by the commercial-ness of it, it feels forced.

Looking over the goals and plans I lovingly made December 31, 2019 I think “Bless my heart.”

I’m thankful for Youtube haircutting tutorials. I’m thankful for Trader Joes and their cinnamon swirl bread and truffle potato chips. I’m thankful for Zoom game nights.

Welcome back.
