A bit nervous for tomorrow (for reasons). In need of a hand hold or a hug, but I’ll settle for a good book and a soft oversized T-shirt.

Goodnight 🫂

everyone say happy birthday to me pls

I’m bored out of my mind and a little uncomfortable, but I should be a brand new woman when it’s done. My uterus is basically fused to my back rn so once they cut all the tissue away and put it back in its place, I should be feeling great

It is wonderful to connect with a person who does not like coffee! 😊🫖🍵We seem to be rare in the world, at least in the parts of the world I live and the cozy corners of the internet that I seek.

Thank you for reading. I love words

It's a bit of a shame that I never stuck with learning more languages when I was young enough to be able to easily soak up new thought patterns. It's one of my larger regrets.

I'm glad you can see that it's not just... "Too much?" I did attempt to tone down the usual rant, however, since that wouldn't help me get my point across. Normally, this all might come out a bit... Unhinged. 😅 Writing can help organize one's thoughts.

I'm not sad that I experienced those things. I am sad that more people aren't careful with their words. Sloppy communications are the cause of more suffering and heartache than nearly anything else.

You write exceptionally well in English. It is a pleasure to read. Thank you for putting in the effort to my English-addled brain. 😊

Good day! This is #InkblotArt, the note that lets your imagination fly!

Aww that’s just because I’m basically living in bed till the surgery so I have no life lol

The key to being good at anything is consistency.

Unfortunately I have no consistency.

Ooookay. Tea choice:

Stash peppermint. I love mint tea on the summer, even hot, but especially cold. I'm not adding sweatener since I'm still mostly carnivore and finally back on track to my weight loss goals. (The sweetener part of this came to mind since it's related to the subject at hand....)

Let's start with my least favorite word: nice. To me, there is no greater insult that one can levy at me than for someone to call me "nice." There are several layers to this, but I'll stick to the original meaning and the modern connotation. Plus a bonus: is a word of French origin, and I'm savagely annoyed that there's so much French in modern English.

"Nice" has bothered me for more than three decades. When I was younger, I discerned that nice was used on several ways, and only one of them was acceptable due to relational contexts. Firstly, older church ladies called me a nice boy. I will accept that as a compliment as intended, but, what they actually meant was that I was polite, courteous, and respectful. Secondly, when I was a bit older, girls called me nice. What they really meant was that I was a big brother type with whom they felt safe. This is possibly acceptable, but also a bit hurtful at times, since it was mostly meant to be dismissive. That dismissiveness had an edge of finality to it, abd that edge can cut deep... As I grew older, nice was not just dismissive but patronizing. Men only use "nice" as an insult when speaking of other men, and women use it as the shield of the friendzone. All of this stems from the origin of the word, which, as best as I recall originally meant "so sweet as to be cloying or repugnant."

"Nice" is an insult, realized it not.

Kindness, on the other hand, is a virtue and present only in the strong of character. Being genuinely kind requires the strength to put others above your own needs, fortitude to handle difficult and awkward situations, and wisdom to show restraint, lest kindness turn into a matter of prideful showmanship.

Recognizing kindness means that one is aware of these things, even if it isn't explicitly stated.

I think I'll end there.

I like this ☺️🫂 you’re totally right 💜

No. I just showered and am debating what tea I should end my day with, and how much I can cut my normal half hour rant down to be able to type it without sounding tooooo nutty.

Really was 🥹🫂 didn’t wanna go home

If you want me to rant about it, sure... But it's gonna have to wait until after I shower.

I'm glad you can see kindness instead of "niceness." I hate the conflation of the two.

Not one person was sitting on their roofs on this beautiful night. Was a little disappointed. I guess roofs can be dirty, but still. Also, I found the moon.
