What a dedicated writer (or singer or artist) has to confront is how to handle things when the waters are choppy." That resonated with me. I'm tattooing that in my journal. :)Spooky Duchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517087793621717373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-32334083677086805882023-08-12T08:34:30.528-07:002023-08-12T08:34:30.528-07:00It was so nice to be honest, raise my hand and say...It was so nice to be honest, raise my hand and say 'yup, i fucked up and made a crappy decision'.

It conveys a strong message about the wearer's respect of artistic talent, stylishness, and the potential significance of jewelry. The chain evolves from a simple piece of jewelry into a celebration of beauty and change, a representation of one's ideals, and more.aimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194138781119300440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-36246568183657135222023-07-30T19:44:20.719-07:002023-07-30T19:44:20.719-07:00Life takes us all for a ride at times and we never...Life takes us all for a ride at times and we never know when it will be or where it will be going. When COVID hit, I stopped writing because my ADHD got overwhelmed with it. But my therapist reminded me that priorities change, and just because something has to go on the back burner doesn't mean it will stay there or is not important.Spencer Hixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493920050391796836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-53191225465858991902023-07-28T21:18:52.716-07:002023-07-28T21:18:52.716-07:00This doesn't sound like failure.

For me it was a poem, so now I do the work. I feel that being a death doula is a wonderful calling and something my mom has done quite naturally for people. If you go that route that's amazing, if not the support you're giving is so good. Thanks for the update.

As a ...Good advice on both writing and gaslighting. As a therapist once told me, whatever bad is happening in your life, it's YOUR bad. It may not be as horrible as things happening to others, but it's happening to you and you have a right to be upset about it. And people who tell me "everything happens for a reason" make me violent. People aren't murdered as part of some grand scheme and they aren't beaten, raped, or abandoned for it either. Just because many people can't stand the idea that things just HAPPEN, that there is no great control board in the sky, doesn't mean that isn't the reality.<br /><br />Re writing: I don't have a problem being edited - I actually LIKE when I can see that something can be improved and enjoy rewriting almost as much as writing the first pass.Robyn McIntyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735905850843795377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660089177097719300.post-13100170826214122412022-10-18T16:59:53.796-07:002022-10-18T16:59:53.796-07:00To clarify, the first scene takes place in the pre...To clarify, the first scene takes place in the present, in destroyed New York.
