There was a time I would wake up and the clock would be 2.22. It happened for over a month. I told someone and it stopped

Congratulations 🎊🎉. I’m rooting for your continued sobriety. My sister has been sober for three years

🤭 if you can boil water and use the microwave, you’ll be fine. Also, an air-fryer.

I didn’t know this. Thanks for sharing, Prof

🤭 Ghanaian and Nigerian are ‘haters’ that way

All the best in grad school 👏🏾 One way or another, things work themselves out. The Self and not the Other is the only thing we can control. I like Derrida’s take on care (it’s always selfish), so I do it for me. I needed a mother, I became one for myself. And we can always hold grief and love

Eventually we’ll be okay. Some of us are privileged enough to be able to afford weekly therapy sessions. It’s been 5 years now I started therapy ( for a different reason but became about this), still undoing and unpacking stuff from my childhood church upbringing. I’m grateful for Peace and Boring.

Welp. I got reprimanded when I told my dad that I’d appreciate if he doesn’t call me unless it’s a life or death situation. You would think I had murdered someone with that statement. He believed it was his right to call me. Thank goodness for block button.

I am so sorry 😢🫂

It’s one of the most bizarre forms of grief. How do you mourn someone that is alive and well? Or something you’ve never experienced? It was a painful process becoming a mother to the inner child I wished had one.

This is my story. I begged and begged until my therapist told me to think on a question ‘what price is too high for you to pay to make this work?’ It was my sanity. So, I stopped. By the way, people like the writer of this garbage don’t know how much work of mourning goes into cutting off a parent.

I think she’s old enough to be asked what she wants for her birthday. I don’t have a kid, I have niece and nephew. For my niece’s birthday, she said she wanted to eat as many pizza as she’d like to celebrate. Costco to the rescue. We were banging our heads brainstorming gift.

I got mine Remarkable 2 before the subscription ( translation: I have free subscription). However, I share your concern. Without the subscription, cloud storage and syncing don’t work. I got someone a remarkable as a gift and everything halted after the free trial.

I laughed so hard at this. I was raised to be the Pro 31 (elusive) woman. When I was looking for a mate, an item on my list was ‘a man who can cook and make me coffee.’ 🤣🤣🤣
