I feel a migraine coming on. My scalp is sore and each hair feels like there’s a two-pound weight attached to it. 😮‍💨

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realizes an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don’t have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.

Just had a fantastic interview for what’s essentially my dream job and got told at the end that they would need me to start ASAP but I’m not available until August so now I’m sad 🙃

Yes, but it’s unsurprising nonsense. 💩

You total one car and mf’s start saying you can’t drive. 😒

I’m literally just a girl, sorry I can’t be perfect ok?

Toddler feet will never not be adorable 🥹

I’ve never heard of time preference and not a single reply to this post actually told me what it refers to with clarity.

Men in their 20s will call you an “A++ girl” and then ghost you 24 hours later only to be the first one to like your posts and watch your stories for the next three years.

Y’all really need to explain yourselves.

I think about Romans 12:18 often:

> If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

This is my goal in all my interactions. But it's complicated by the previous verse:

> Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.

Truth and kindness can be hard to reconcile. This is why it's such a miracle that the Psalmist prophetically declares:

> Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.

It is impossible for God's rigid truth and peace among men to coexist as long as our sin persists. You can't have peace with an angry person. You can't get a lazy person to exercise mercy. You can't get a person bound by their lust to tell the truth about it. These are intractable problems without divine help. This is why it's such good news that Jesus has sent us his Holy Spirit:

> It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

The Sprit first softens our hearts to admit our faults. Then the real work of righteousness and the Kingdom of Heaven can begin. Finally, that work is evaluated.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

Happy to read this reflection :) Humility in front of God is the first step to softening and purifying the heart. This is the prayer I make for myself more often than any others.
