CW: Spiders, insects To the untrained eye, it may look like an overgrown pile of weeds, but if you look closely, it's actually home to a whole bunch of tiny, beautiful souls. ❤️

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! To continue from yesterday: We plant the seeds of the future today. Some seeds grow quickly: An argument costs a friendship. Others slowly: Trust when someone gives it warily. Plant the seeds you want in your life. Not all will take root, but sow regardless Love ya!

Good Morning and happy Monday! "First, Do No Harm." We've all heard this, in medical shows and cartoons. The doctor's Hippocratic Oath. But it applies universally. Taking your bad day out on others, being intentionally cruel. You create a harmful world this way. So, first: Do No Harm Love ya all!

I forgot to journal 2 nights in a row, so I wrote the entries this morning...it's just as good to start the morning with a grateful heart as it is to end the day. ❤️

I heard it's asexuality awareness week! I identify most with aceflux, which is defined as someone whose sexual orientation fluctuates. That can look different for different people! I've learned a lot about my sexuality the past couple of years, so I'm gonna share what that looks like for me. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

If anyone out there is feeling broken, maybe you can relate to this and know that you are not broken and you are not alone. There are lots of people like you! Your sexuality is valid, and you deserve to be accepted and cared for in your entirety! ❤️

I fluctuate between these a lot, and there are varying degrees of each phase. Sometimes, I stay in a certain phase for a few days, sometimes a few weeks. This fluctuation can be confusing and feel overwhelming at times.

Before I knew about asexuality, I thought there was something wrong with me. I felt broken, confused, and frustrated. I felt like I didn't deserve a loving partner. I felt like I wasn't enough, but that's not true! I have more to offer! I have qualities and strengths that make me special & unique!

I can also lean sex-positive/favorable, which means I actively want it and am more likely to go for it/initiate things. Sometimes, this phase comes with more sexual attraction. Sometimes, this is strictly libido and has nothing to do with sexual attraction.

Other times, I am sex-repulsed, which means that I don't want to think about it at all. I don't want to hear about it. I don't wanna see art of it. It just seems icky. I feel annoyed at the mere idea of it when I'm in this phase.

I usually land sex-neutral, which just means that I could "take it or leave it." I don't usually get caught up in the throws of passion. I am often very logical when it comes to sex. This phase makes me seem less than enthusiastic.

If I experience attraction during this phase, it is usually from an emotional connection, or someone has shown an interest in me. I can have fun, but it is a very "why not" attitude.

Last night, I started journaling my good moments and positive thoughts. I want to keep at it...we will see how long adhd let's me before I start forgetting 😅

Before you go to sleep, choose one moment from the day you want to keep. When your days are filled with stress & anxiety, the good moments can get lost in the chaos. We can forget what makes life worth living. At the end of the day, there is always something good. Let's rewire our brains to find it.

Most parents don't believe in hitting their kids as a form of discipline anymore. We're talking to our kids and explaining things to our kids, and as a result, they are learning emotional maturity and conflict resolution early.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Also, I noticed some people at the booths looked like they were thinking of handing me candy, but I didn't have a bag...would it be wrong for me to bring a bag next time and actually trick or treat? We didn't do it as a kid, so I've never actually gone trick or treating, I've only taken my kids. 🤔

My fav. moment was a little girl spotted me and just held her arms out for a hug. After a quick check with the adults, I knelt down and let her come up to me. I let her touch my paws and she gently touched Chickory's nose before going in for the sweetest hug ever. 🥺❤️❤️❤️ I love being a furry.

KY's election day is Nov. 3rd! Make sure you know when voting is for your state!

Don't skip voting this year! It's our chance to make a change, and if you don't vote, we've already lost. EVERY VOTE COUNTS! Let's get this pedophilic fascist out of the White House!

If you're feeling hopeless and need a sign to keep going...this is your sign. Your existence matters, and even if you don't see it, you are worth love and kindness. You've made it this far. Don't give up now. ❤️

I just found out that someone I work with is homeless... meanwhile, upper management is using company money to buy themselves lunch every day...I don't wanna live on this planet anymore.

Me: Oh, Trump is signing an executive order to broaden women's health research...what's the catch? *2 old white dudes in charge, and one of them thinks vaccines cause autism* Me: ok. yup, that makes sense. 🙄😒
