  • “Should”

    “Should”

    So Sayeth the Google AI Mode (tried a new version): The word “should” is not inherently “bad” in the sense of being a swear word, but it is often viewed as harmful or counterproductive in psychology, communication, and personal development. The word can create a cycle of shame, guilt, and unrealistic expectations for oneself and others. …

    Why, yes…

    Two Words: “The Plague” (nickname for my ‘father’ – click the link to read)

  • Avoidant Personality Disorder

    Avoidant Personality Disorder

    So… along with The Boyfriend’s individual therapist’s initial suspicions, my opinion is that he has Avoidant Personality Disorder. I have suspected this for some time, mostly because I like to do research on things and learn the how and why of behaviors and whatnot. I am an Anxious Attachment Disorder type (though not diagnosed officially).…

  • Bittersweet Purgatory

    Bittersweet Purgatory

    Well, at least the featured AI pic is cool. So Sayeth the Google: Purgatory is a Roman Catholic doctrine describing a post-death process of purification for souls that are not yet perfect enough to enter heaven. Souls in purgatory are in God’s friendship but must be cleansed of attachment to sin before they can reach God’s presence. This…

    Monday Mark – 2.5 & 3.0

    2.5 – For Last Week’s MM: I actually ponder “trust” and all that entails quite frequently. You see, The Boyfriend broke my trust as early on as last October, though I didn’t know the full extent of it – especially the “wtf is going on” part – until this past February. The consequences of realizing my…

  • Gamer Nerd

    Gamer Nerd

    Soooo… in my listless existence yesterday, I decided to watch my last streaming video I posted while I reached out to friends and inquired at playing some video games and updated the 🍴 Fork Knife (Fortnite lol) – which took foreeeeveeer. Finally finished that and was joined by 2 of muh frens (Nashi and GenGen)…

  • The Down Side

    The Down Side

    H. I. Triple L. The Downhill Slide? Sorry. I’m late posting today, the motivation has flown away into the vast beyond. After the shenanigans with the former anti-psychotic and all that entailed, I’m glad to be off it, but… I wonder if it wasn’t ALSO helping with motivation. I stopped taking it because of the…

  • Moab

    Moab

    On May 1st, 2013, I set off on a solo 2-week bike trip to visit Moab, UT where I was born. Hard to believe that was 12 years ago. At the time, I rode Zuki (2003 Suzuki 800), my second bike. I traveled from my little town in Arkansas to Kansas City, staying with a…

  • EMDR

    EMDR

    So Sayeth the Google: EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a psychotherapy treatment that helps people heal from trauma and other distressing life experiences. It’s based on the idea that the mind can naturally heal from psychological trauma in a way similar to how the body heals from physical wounds. EMDR therapy involves eight phases, including…

  • Stars & Planets

    Stars & Planets

    Went on morning “Walkies” with The Boyfriend. It’s just now 5am, but the weather was perfect. Caught a nice picture of the moon, starts, and I’m assuming a couple very bright planets. I don’t know much astronomy, but The BF said one is probably Jupiter. He’s a nerd (and I like that). Yesterday evening wasn’t…

    Monday Mark – 1.5 & 2.0

    1.5 – For Last Week’s MM: I have to admit that it was extremely rough with my physical issues and I hadn’t put much thought into what I would consume less of… other than dairy or vaping?! I did have to consume more water, fiber, and MiraLax. As for external entertainment, sad music… by default,…

  • Love/Hate

    Love/Hate

    Thank you TonysBologna: “How to Write More” – for inspiring me to get off my ass and just write. I was legitimately on my ass on the couch scrolling on my phone… and ya called me out (damnit 😝)! Also, visit the site where I got the featured picture from, because holy shit that’s some…
