I've stopped watching news. I read a summary once a day (1440) and that's it. It's the only way I'll emotionally survive the next 4 years. What a time we live in now, eh?

Life isn't about avoiding these things, or rating whose is worse, or imagining that others have it better. It's about linking arms, crying and laughing and walking both the terrible and the transcendent together. 3/fin

Don't envy the ideal life you imagine others to have, because it's a mirage. We all struggle, we all have demons, we all have tragedy and heartache. 2/

This was a screenshot that I took of the actual site. It has not been altered. Perhaps they changed it now, but this is what it said earlier.

I never really cared for Goodreads, anyway. I'll try Story graph!

Gracias!

I've never shopped there. Never will. Won't eat at Chickfila, either. There are other options - I'm not supporting folks who support hate. 🤷

Have a restful hiatus - or work like crazy on your book. Honestly, either works for me. 😁

Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. ...anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb."
