What I’m Reading

Milan Kundera -

Same shit as the last two week, I’m trying not to feel guilty about it. I’M A SLOW READER!

What I’m Watching

Squid Game 2

I started this season off like “how they bout to do this AGAIN?” Skeptical as I was, they’ve done a good job. They centered individual greed more than capitalistic societal structures more this season. Not sure how I feel about that particularly, but interesting choice nonetheless.

What I’m Listening To

Teena Marie (Me and her go way back fr, that’s my white gworl).

Memories of moving to this in the backseat of a car on the way to second grade.

What I’m Eating/Drinking

Whatever’s edible in the fridge. Times are tough out here. I can maybe grab a snack from the corner shop but right now…that’s about it. Don’t nobody ask me out for a meal unless you’re paying.

🤮Craziest Shit I Seen This Week🤮

This Cat on TikTok

How did it get like this?? Is this a type of cat? Did it age this way?

🤮Lesson Learned This Week🤮

Choose consistency through devotion rather than discipline.

My OCD often manifests through insane expectations of my daily routines.

I Almost Popped Off at My Best Friend for Buying Whole-Wheat Pasta

^(I talk more about my OCD here.)^

I must start every mission as soon as I become cognisant of it and work on it daily for disciplines sake…oh brother.

Choosing to see the pieces of my life I am dedicated to through a devotional sense allows myself to show up to it in wholeness. In devotion I take time, I am intentional with the space I operate, I listen to my senses when partaking. Devotion brings my spirit to the task at hand. It allows me to see myself in entirety.

Put no pieces of yourself to the side when engaging in devotion. Every ounce of you deserves to be acknowledged.
