Life is having it’s ups and downs. I neglect this app too.

I’ll get back to shining. I always do.
But tonight I’m letting myself feel the waves.

If I get quieter, slower to answer, or a little dimmer around the edges for a bit — it’s not anyone’s fault. It’s just that the boxes are overflowing again, and I’m trying to sort through the tide without drowning in it.

And suddenly the sunny Kara costume cracks and I’m just… me. Raw. Overwhelmed. Human in the messy, un-Supergirl way.

But sometimes the boxes get too full. Sometimes the ocean spills over the edges. Sometimes I feel all the things I refuse to say out loud — the grief, the exhaustion, the fear, the things I’ve survived that never fully leave my bones — and it doesn’t fit anywhere.

And most days, it works. Most days I can pass for the cheerful reporter who brings snacks, checks in on friends, makes jokes, and keeps moving. Light is easier to carry than darkness, after all.

Beneath that smile is an ocean. Not a calm one — the kind with riptides and trenches and entire storms I’ve learned to tuck away into tiny, color-coded mental boxes. “Deal with it later.” “Not now.” “Everyone else comes first.”

Ava or Camila for sure

Um… I’m using them, sir.

You can have them when I’m finished, if you’re patient.

Oh I touch his movies but he isn’t even a speck in comparison to the rest of this movie. I love this movie. The unicorns. The girl. The fae. Darkness and his goblins. 😩 I need to watch it again now.
