Take a Chance
I had given up. I had given up on having any sort of social life outside of the constant cycle of work. I had given up drinking, as a way to quit wasting my Saturdays and Sundays with lingering hangovers. This meant that at my ripe age of 32, that there was no way to be social. Living in a small town, the weekly ritual was to finish work and head to the local dive bar for drinks. On second thought, that is not a ritual just for small towns, but seems to be the norm for most Americans after every work week.

Intervene with Intervention
My guiltiest tv show addiction is a toss up between Intervention and my 600-lb Life. I am not sure what draws me into these shows, but I can sit and watch them for fours on end, and never tire of them. I am drawn to the stories of heartbreak that leads them to their current situation. It truly reminds me the importance of not judging others and how every single person experiences some sort of traumatic event in their life.

Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover
My day started like any other; filled with dread. I did all the things, and played all the songs trying to get myself into the mood to have a day that was somewhat of an adventure. Since COVID, every day started to look the same. Blurring into one another, with no individuality or fun built in. I listened to the meditations about discovering myself as I bathed. "Take care of your body, for your body is your home" it said. I laughed out loud and sunk deeper in the water.
