    I've been in a negative vortex which is bad for the manifestations but like, I'm trying. I'm doing hours of meditation. I'm talking to people at work. I'm participating in here sometimes. Making healthier food choices. Putting on makeup just to care about myself a little. Petting cats. Leaning into the learning side of apps and not just the silly parts.
    Still feel like punching a wall and walking into traffic. FaKe It TiLl YoU mAkE iT or something..
    I guess I need to do less brain stuff and more physical stuff. Wear myself out and not have time to spiral. Try harder at getting that second job and just go go go.
    I admire yall on here. I have no idea how yall get so much done. I feel depleted all the time and I'm just doing regular people things. Not doing anything amazing. Yall struggle and are still kicking life in the *kitten*. I'm just here like πŸ˜“πŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘ΆπŸ‘Ά a big baby.

    You could’ve written this about me. Wow. Like word for word felt very true to what i experience

    You know... You need to cope how you need to cope. No one else's way is necessarily a better way or a worse way. You are fighting. You are pushing through. You are lifting some heavy emotional *kitten*, and it's ok to feel like some days it's too heavy. *giving you the biggest hugs*.

    I wish I could make life easier for so many of us, but there has to be a reason for all of this. What? I may never know, but this isn't all for naught.

    Again, more hugs. But these may be more for me. ❀️

    I don’t know if you meant to quote me or yoshi but I’m calling dibs

    There’s a rumour going around that Jeffree Star and Kanye West are dating. f me I am dead I hope this is true that would be classic.

    I'm shocked already with just the rumor.

    Something I’ve been mulling over.. The reason we hold the right to protest in this country in such high regard is because protests have transformed our laws over the years. Protests have brought about positive and necessary changes by people whose individual voices were otherwise given no audience.

    There is power in a united voice, and there’s danger in ignoring it. That voice belies deeply held viewpoints and emotional conviction that shouldn’t merely be written off just because you don’t understand them at the outset.

    I figure the worst thing you can do to a group of people who are exercising their right to protest is to slap a label on them and refuse to hear their cry.

    I’d like to think I’m a reasonable and rational person but I have my kneejerk reactions. I want to do better and meet people halfway when I don’t understand their viewpoint.
    If this sounds like a defense of any one group or a statement of my political views, you should know I felt this same way in May and through the summer too

    These are thoughts and questions I had in my head too...what happened is awful...but in history this is how change was forced to take place...so im conflicted in how I feel.

    Some how 2020 snuck back in to 2021.

    soooo... doc says I have a mild hiatal hernia and inflammation of the stomach in the same area. The two don't play well together, but neither of them are really anything to be concerned about. I'm getting referred to a specialist to help me talk about the flare ups I have that cause pain / nausea / illness. I know the introduction of the new protein powder didn't help, so that's been stopped.

    I told her I lift heavy (for me) weights, and she didn't tell me to stop... but I will slow my progression a bit so that I am relying on the targeted muscle groups instead of a full body press. That means no attempts at 1rm PRs, or crazy weight progressions, but that's ok.

    Google tells me to not even lift a kettlebell. Yeah, um, sorry. That's not happening. Not until the doc says so.

    Both sound annoying but manageable...? πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™€οΈ

    Am happy it's nothing more serious yet can understand you wanna get back to lifting too πŸ€—

    Well, it addresses the nausea and upper abdominal pain. and it looks like I can manage it with an adjusted diet (and maybe adjusted lifting goals).

    I still have one more test to get through - the lower abdominal CT for a separate issue. That's in 11 days. If that is clear, then I can stop worrying. :)

    Hoping for clear! *crossing fingers*

    Hmmm, thinking of how to step outside of my comfort zone today. Maybe go further than my mailbox?
