This is totally a #blameitonlitsy - it just kept on appearing and appearing and appearing in my feed. So who am I to fight Reading Destiny? And yes, it was a good thing to listen to it. RD knows what I need.
Because I so, so needed that book. It's short and easy to read, and it has to be. It's written for people in very dark places and those often don't have the strength and energy to read big books. ⬇
My #BookSpin is a #blameitonlitsy - you all just kept on talking about it. Is that FOMO - Bookish edition?

My husband & I are getting pedicures. The women at the salon love him because he always chooses outrageous colors. Today, he joked the lime green hue he‘d chosen was called, “S‘not nice.” This made me research if there‘s a line of nail polish with punk rock names.

bailedBit woo-woo, just wasn't holding my interest.
I really like the last one. Good enough is perfect.
The way of deconstructing what makes you unhappy about your cho- I mean, care works, is basically the same as the one I did when I was fighting my ED. But it never occurred to me that I needed to this with my relationship with care work as well.
Even though my therapist told me to go easy on it, to think that it‘s okay that not everything‘s done, it only ever worked a little bit. ⬇ 2w
