RT by @BootstrapCook: A sign of maturity: when someone is committed to misunderstanding you, you let them.

Knowing when to use your energy and when to save it is a skill set you’ve earned.

R to @alternateego11: Yes, having spent several hours discussing some seriously heavy personal traumas, experiences, and current affairs, we should know better than to have a fleeting moment of mutual joy in an eyeshadow palette. Two hair shirts and a dozen Hail Marys for the women at the front, stat!

R to @Karen_Matilda: I recorded the audio for most of it (you can take the local journalist out of the newsroom, etc etc) but will await permission from Kit and Alona before sharing it!

Sorry to inform the nefarious and tedious bores who stalk my every move like mavens of manifesting misery, that I’m having a very glorious, joyful, wholesome, blessed and beautiful little life right now. I am safe, loved, peaceful, sober, content, and having a wonderful time. 💕

R to @Aworkinprogre19: Ha! I quoted this to my [undefinable very close person that I can’t find a fitting word for right now] a month or so ago, ‘not sure which philosopher or whatever said it but…’ oh how we laughed when I looked it up and discovered my ‘philosopher’ was Moulin sodding Rouge…

R to @bigwows: Not yet! The longest house move in history: but I’m very peaceful, accepting, and gently excited for it!

RT by @BootstrapCook: Look, I know it’s a little thing in the grand scheme, but — ⁦every @superdrug⁩ pharmacy now offers recycling points for medicine blister packs, which otherwise end up in landfill in their millions.
Bag them up, take them in every month or two. Easy.
Pls RT/spread the word.

R to @HeyItsJon92: The Headspace app sleepcasts, along with nytol, chamomile tea, lavender pillow spray, and journaling for 15 minutes before bed to brain-dump everything that’s whirring around my head. (I type in white text on a white background and don’t read it back, it’s just a ‘taking the trash out’ exercise. 💕

R to @jaynejm: They have been, and no doubt will continue, but I have good solid people around me both on my couch and on here, I have truth on my side and refuse to be gaslit about my own life, and compassion for the pain that is driving their irrational behaviours. So I’m okay, right now. 💕

R to @BowLoo12: I attend 12 12-step fellowship meetings a week and have been in therapy for the last few years - it’s a lifelong process but I’m certainly working on it!

R to @chocogirl64: Stops me reviewing it/trying to make it ‘better’, and psychologically ‘makes the contents of my head disappear’. Been doing it for years, it’s an 800-odd page long document by now 🤣 I darent ever read it back!
