My therapist, who is in her late 20s and is therefore no more than five years older than me, said “good girl” to me during our session yesterday, because I am better able to manage my anxiety.
I had no idea how to react, and instead of that causing me anxiety and confusion, I just laugh about how unexpected that was. My girlfriend also got a kick out of it lol.
So silly. Life is so unpredictable and awesome in that way.

- said to me by a random lady on the f train as i am on the way back from the first meeting of my summer internship that i feel severely under equipped for.
that made me think…. why do i always feel unqualified for good things? why can’t i also just smile and nod and take good things as they happen?
to that lady… i want you to realize your words meant so much to be at the absolute best time… and also happy 70th birthday beautiful

I LOVE when people meet me and I tell them I’m pretty fluid with my gender and they don’t automatically just use she/her. it makes me feel seen as who I am and not as what I’m perceived as. makes me feel actually cared for. I especially love when they switch it up occasionally, like today they say they and the next they say he…ect. God I love it all!!

In pre-21st century movies and media, we always see couples that go to bed, independently read their books, and once sleepy, clap off the lights and peacefully retire to sleep. Maybe there’s a reason this trope is so common! Maybe couples who read together, sleep together!!
Reading before bed regulates my brain and body in ways I did not know were possible. Screens are bad for you, specifically and especially before bedtime… who knew! And with a good nights sleep I have so much energy to do things, including but not limited to more reading.

Collecting a stack of printed takeout menus from local restaurants is equivalent to finding community in your town/city. I love to get off my phone and flip through a printed menu when deciding what to order for dinner, appreciating the graphic design choices and the hometown staples on each menu.
And they are only wasteful if you waste them! What great material for emergency note-taking, for adorning your fridge, for COLLAGING! Oh my goodness what great and meaningful content organically exists in a printed takeout menu from your favorite local spot.

I fear one of the top reasons I get out of bed for my perhaps boring, often drab desk job is to wear outfits that are neither boring or drab! Do my coworkers entirely understand why I wear my layers? Not necessarily, but they’re learning!
Today I wanted to feature my “Gemini” pin to celebrate the season and my upcoming birthday in eight days!
