I write quite a bit of dystopian, so...not entirely. The happiest ones are those who are part of a group trying to make things better

One of my favorite animals. At one of the zoos where I've seen them, one once escaped and lived in the nearby forest for several months before they found him.

In my upcoming release, she has a cousin who is like a brother. He has several beloved siblings in his adoptive family, and a half-sister he's never met.

My condolences. My beloved computer is showing terminal signs.

#goodnight & sleep well, everyone

Don't be afraid to:
-Set boundaries
-Have limitations
-Disappoint people
-Put self-care & your well-being first
-Do what's right/best for you
-Remove toxic people from your life
-End unhealthy or damaging friendships/relationships
etc

Catch ya'll on the flip side😴

Set boundaries and be ok with losing people who are not for you.

Some people are mad at you because you aren't suffering the way they expected you to.

I love how many ways there are to make it.

Stuffing varies widely. I knew of one man who put in cubed pears, another who puts in dried cranberries. All sorts of tasty possibilities.
