I never understood the appeal of something like Tik Tok, or short-form video in general. I guess if you’re desperate for attention or followers, it’s appealing. But the content is never deep, interesting, or meaningful. #tiktok #media #social #failure

Ugh. 2025 journals and calendars are being sold. Who plans four months in advance? I’ll wait to buy a Hobinichi

Who is having fun today?

Happy Ginger Cat Appreciation Day And to celebrate here is Peach, one of the feral kittens. #feral #cat

Good morning. Have a peaceful and fun Sunday. Share it with someone. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

“ Be grateful you didn’t die.”

What show/movie do you refuse to watch for reasons other than the obvious? Personally, I refuse to watch any “media event”, such as “Game of Thrones”. #tv #cable #movie #show

How many times have you moved, when it was your decision to do so?

Stress comes from your expectations don’t align with reality. You either have to lower your expectations, or move your beliefs and assumptions closer to reality. #life #stress #success

“The world is larger, grander, and more awe-inspiring than what lives in your head. You worry about being right, but there are so many things in reality that prove you wrong. The walls that you put up aren’t there to protect you, but to blind you from the seeing the truth.” #writing

“Asking questions is a form of curiosity. Too many are taught to stop asking questions. The curiosity was driven from us and now we accept anything that is presented. We have stopped being a curious species and become one of passive acceptance and aggressive confrontation.” #writing
