I haven’t felt the feeling of childlike awe in months and I finally experienced it again this evening. I was running near the water around sunset when I came upon a cluster of coastal oaks overhanging the path. Something about the way the sun reflected through the leaves made me feel a sense of elated joy. I suddenly felt aware of everything around me: the way the light reflected off the current, the way the tree branches rustled in the wind, the hue of my immediate surroundings matching he consistently changing sky. It felt like I had been given something back that had been taken from me. I felt the feeling of contentment.

I continued to vacuum my entire apartment before going outside to clear the vacuum tank. i feel ickyyyy

My sister pistol whipped my moms toxic boyfriend the other day. He came into the house drugged up and unwelcomed and broke down one of the doors. It is probably good thing i am physically far away from the scene because otherwise it would have ended up way worse. I only have ill intent toward that loser, because this is not okay. I hope my mom learns, it’ll take a bit of time before she does

I am grateful for my sisters strength
I am grateful for a safe space
I am grateful for divine protection
I am grateful for the old people that say hi to nala
