Just a little update, because I left a lot of conversations in the air: I'm working on a workplace project in my free time, too, because it should have been finished two weeks ago. I'm trying not to stress too much about it, because they just put way too many projects on me alone, but I also want it to be done so I can have fun again without it being in the back of my mind constantly.
I will be back and will get back to everyone! I love you, guys! <3
the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????
i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.
so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKK AT THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS IM FREAKING OUT!! (They got my permission) The golden glass is so amazing too!!
My goodness!! 😃 This inspires me to hopefully work on stained glass too in the future omg I'm screaming…
I work with my ex, and I know, a big surprise, but it's not ideal. At first, it seemed okay because he mostly kept to himself, and I was busy with my own things. But over the months, it turned into a situation where I'm a hornet's nest and he's a stupid little kid with a stick, poking and poking at it. He just won't leave me alone. He got it into his head somehow that we should be best friends when he treated me like shit when we lived together. I hope I can leave this place soon. Lesson learned, that is for sure. :D
“I’m almost 50, and here is the best thing I have learned so far: every strange thing you’ve ever been into, every failed hobby or forgotten instrument, everything you have ever learned will come back to you, will serve you when you need it. No love, however brief, is wasted.” @louisethebaker on Twitter
How do I tell you I love you without choking on the words?
Growing up, I never heard my family say 'I love you'. It was something people confessed in films and books and not what mother said to us or father told my mother. I love you was an exotic bird that existed somewhere in the world- too far away from us. I love you was a weakness that required immeasurable strength.
So, I pour my love in the morning coffee. And in the evening, I peel an orange for you, I love you. And I send you 15 cat pictures an hour, I love you and I hope you see it. And I text you good morning at the same time everyday, I love you, I love you, I love you. And until I learn to swallow it and live in it and whisper it, I hope you see how much I love you.
