I don’t know who needs to hear this but you don’t have to. You don’t have to buy the latest fashions. You don’t have to download the newest apps. You don’t have to purchase the latest technology. You don’t have to spend your money on viral products. You don’t have to scroll on social media.…
When I was a teen I spent hours connecting to dial up internet on our single family computer and scouring whatever search engine came with circa 1998 for inspirational quotes.

I’ve never been good at absolutes like getting on my mat every morning. I can usually talk myself out of things that make me feel better by explaining them away as a need for rest. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been difficult to discern whether I need rest or if my depression is keeping me…

I think I have figured it out. I mentioned that lately, I've been feeling off. I guess that means I feel like I'm floating and am in fact, not feeling. When I do feel it is a one of overwhelm. I have been scratching my head- so to speak- racking my brain as to why…
