Letting go of relationships that cause more emotional stress than good. I donât just mean romantic relationships either, I mean any relationship in your life. The ones where you're putting in all the effort to get none in return. The ones where the amount of love and respect you give them isnât reciprocated. The ones where there are just fundamental differences in how you treat those you claim to love. The ones where their actions speak so much louder than what comes out of their mouth.
The hardest part is when you have those moments where you wonder if you really made the right decision, or if you threw away everything over something âtrivial,â until itâs like a sign from the universe where youâre reminded that itâs for the better.

Not to add fuel to anyoneâs avoidant attachment, cuz human connection can be the most rewarding experience and I have some incredible people in my life, but being in any kind of unhealthy/mismatched relationship is the most exhausting experience. It takes up far more of your mental energy than you even realize, especially if youâre someone who can lean anxiously attached and tries to ârepairâ these relationships â like me.
Sometimes you can work out differences with some honest communication, but sometimes it is far better to de-escalate or end things, recognizing that some people have different values or are in such a different place where a long-term connection just isnât possible â or at least possible, right now.
Be honest with yourself and each other when a relationship feels exhausting â romantic or platonic â and if youâre not certain what you need, take some space to clear your head and find your own inner voice again. It might be trying to tell you something if you take the time to listen.

The dial tone after speaking to someone you loved for the final time over the phone.
Crying until you canât breathe.
Your body becoming numb and your mind spinning as you try and process as you end things with your partner.
Amicable breakups when you and your former partner still loved each other during said breakup, and then watching them move on from a distance, while you still reminisce on what could have been every now and thenâeven when you, yourself, have moved on.
Feeling lost.
Firm believer that breakups build you as a person. I am not the person I was when I was in my first committed relationship. I built myself up, I created boundaries, and I no longer live for anyone else but myself

i have always known this. that people come and go. but it was only recently that this statement really⌠struck me. i guess that no matter how much you want people to stay in your life, sometimes itâs just inevitable. though it was hard at first to let go of âyour personâ, i also realized that relationships are maintained by more than just one person.
so no matter how much you want to keep those people in your life, to save the relationship and connection that you have, at the end of the day, they also have a say in what they feel and what they want. and if what they want is to be out of your life, then the best thing that you could do is to accept and respect that.
itâs the best thing that you could do. not only for them, but also for you.

I know Iâve ranted about AI before but! Just saw another writer who was doing peer reviews as she was writing chapters with another person; until she found out the other person was using AI for their NOVEL! Blows my mind. She removed this person from her document and sent her a kind but straightforward message about how she wonât be working with her going forward due to the AI usage. I feel like using it for novel writing is one of the most insane uses because #1 this person told me that the AI generated parts of the work werenât even as good as the other personâs normal writing was. #2 letâs say no one noticed and you published with the AI work, so you would be okay if the book did well but it wasnât even truly your writing that people would be praising?? Not to mention of course the morality and environmental impact.
Also, I was shopping around today for a custom leather stamp to start stamping the leather journal covers I make. Thought I found someone to make it until they said to send the logo file over and theyâll send back AI created renderings of a mockup to approve. Now I am starting the search all overđ

Today was one of those bad days where it causes a headache and you feel exhausted from everything, but somehow a nice long walk outside made things seem a little better. Fresh air and thinking or daydreaming while listening to the sounds of outside.
I sometimes find myself taking for granted the place that I live, I work or Iâm too tired and I use that as an excuse to not go outside more. Yet every time I get the chance to spend the time outside, I canât say I ever regret it.
Iâm going to make it a goal for myself to try and take a walk outside at least a few times a week.
