“In fact, for most of us who rely on blaming and finding fault, the need for control is so strong that we‘d rather have something be our fault than succumb to the bumper-sticker wisdom of ‘shit happens.‘ If stuff just happens, how do I control that? Fault-finding fools us into believing that someone is always to blame, hence, controlling the outcome is possible. But blame is as corrosive as it is unproductive.” #somuchtruth
Some facts from my life:
1. Weekends used to be mythical (🦄), now they are—simply—the worst.
2. Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies.
3. We‘re all having wine and crackers for dinner. We‘ll call it communion. (I‘m kidding; please don‘t call DCF).
4. I‘ve tagged the book I DID NOT read today.
5. Pictures that look Insta-pretty probably belie the depth of sorrow and purposelessness. It‘s the great irony of our age.
6. I could use a nap.
