If you grew up in the 90s you are perhaps familiar with City Slickers and the One Thing you need in life. If not, that’s fine, you’re not missing much because SPOILER the entire point is that that one thing is different for everyone, and you have to figure out what it is for yourself. […]

So part of my commitment to occupying my own space here more regularly also means occupying this space more faithfully and more fully, as my full self without fear. That means that, every so often, I will discuss religion, because I am a deeply religious person and it has a lot of bearing on my

I’m in limbo. If you’ve been here the last few months and/or on my Instagram, you’ll know that. Terminal cancer (that I fully intend to recover from), not working, yada yada yada.* So it’s a particular kind of limbo, but also it’s not, because I know other people who are in different specific circumstances but

I woke up with The Sads this morning. This is probably to have been expected: I was migrainey last week (though at least only the silent variety), and had more migraine taste in my mouth overnight; I’m overtired/overstimulated to the point where I developed an eye twitch on Sunday night, something I don’t remember having

I just learned of this tonight and, although Holly would no doubt be horrified, sobbed for a good 10 – 15 mins, including on the phone to my husband, who – not noted for his knowledge of/familiarity with writerly people – replied with, “Oh, I’m so sorry, I know how much she meant to you.”

Just some random musings on the state of my life this evening, journal style, because yes, I’m writing this in the evening even though it’ll show up first thing in the morning – not that that matters, because by the time you read it, it could be morning, it could be evening, it could be

Content notification: cancer, chronic illness So, it’s been a smidge. I thought maybe that was just because my hip was playing up – which it was – giving me a lot of grief in terms of pain and limiting my mobility. Yeah. Turns out it’s a bit more serious than that, and I am riddled

Because I’ve been philosophising. Because a friend I know is super into astrology, and it got me thinking. Assume my stomach bacteria are conscious; yes, their lifespan is tiny compared to ours, but ours is tiny on a universal scale here, so bear with me. Assume they are conscious. *I* know that I am conscious,
