Apologizing To Yourself...We'll Talk About It
I think more often than not we all have a lot of regrets or wishes that we could’ve done something a tad differently. We say we don’t, but we do. The only times we don’t and truly mean it are when we’re content/happy with the present moment, then we think about all that led us here and say, “I wouldn’t change a thing”. It's kind of sweet. You know what I don’t like? Over-explained apologies. When someone is apologizing and they say “I only did this because *cue sob story to make you feel bad for them and lessen their mistreatment of you* ”. You want to know why? I feel as though when people over-explain while apologizing they think I don’t see them as human. I know you are and with this information, I know you will mess up/be moody/be annoying/have unkind moments–I get it. I’m empathetic to it because I, too, am human.

A Cup of Tea with Death
I can never just stop... thinking. Unwanted distractions miss ideas, unexpected interruptions, then lose those ideas. My sense of time vanishes, nevermind that I'm always looking at the clock. I watch the seconds tick away as my mind struggles to keep hold of reality. The list of things to be done, the endless phone calls that must be made, the dinner we will have for that very evening. As such, I am unwillingly thrown into a state of paralysis, unable to bypass the feeling of wanting to do everything; yet reduced to doing nothing.

The Debt Dragon and Me (and You)
This was the first post on my Substack when I initially dedicated it to my battle with survival debt. I was going to talk about my journey to eliminate the debts I've built up over the past 13 years there, and how my 2023 ADHD diagnosis factors into everything I've dealt with. Since I deleted my Substack I have since decided to stick to Vocal.Media and my Buy Me A Coffee page.

To: Death
Have you ever looked Death in the eye? Talked to it? Have you let it speak to you? Did you want to say anything back? When you can see it and smell it and reach your hand out and touch it—can any words suffice?

Feelings
Today was quite a roller coaster of emotions for me. I woke up feeling excited and hopeful, as I had a big presentation at work that I had prepared for weeks. I was confident that I had done a good job and that my boss and colleagues would appreciate my efforts. I put on my best suit, grabbed my laptop, and headed to the office with a smile on my face.

At the heart of this exploration lies the profound quest for self-love and the celebration of our authentic identity.
