If the cost of love is compliance,
the price is too high.
If the cost of belonging is my silence,
the price is too high.
My emotional and mental well-being is priceless.

My great grandfather once said- “Do you want to know how to live like a millionaire? You get the best pair of shoes that money can buy and get the best bed that money can buy. Because you’ll spend most of your life in one or the other.” ♥️
I just want everyone to know that I believe I’m holding up the very fabric of society by putting my shopping cart all the way back to where it belongs. ✨😎✨ You’re welcome. 🛒
I’m not one of those women you walk by and accidentally fall in love with.
I’m not one of those women who cries pretty.
I’m one of the women who clings to control in the worst way.
I’m one of those women who’s been betrayed. I’m one of those women who succeeds, probably out of
Hi.👋🏼
My name is Ellie and I sometimes think I’m better than others for having unresolved trauma that I’m skilled enough to disguise so that it looks like I’m more stable than I actually am.
This is me also repeating patterns of my own past defenses and saftey tactics,
I wish you could know I still talk about you. I miss you so much. You were the best secret keeper ever. You got me through the absolute hardest years of my life. The absence of you is still so heavy in my life.💔
My best friend Eli, my dog, passed away a year ago. I loved him very, very much.
He died anyway though.
And his death kind of started this snowball effect in me where. . . everything seems kind of pointless.
I know have a responsibility to try and live fully in the face of
Mississippi. Where this heathen is heading into church for the first time in years to try her luck on winning a car raffle, because that’s how some southern churches get their attendance up on holidays. Wish me luck! ✌🏼😎
Even though I’m sick, I’m so full of gratitude for having been able to be there for the sunset paddle out, glad I got to celebrate, cry and talk story with family & friends. Grateful to have found & scattered flowers in the water & hear Hawaiian prayer, chant & song. It was all
Some of the reasons why I, as an introvert, value online friendships:
• I have more control over the level of engagement. I’m free to participate when I feel comfortable and withdraw when I need a break.
• I have more time to express my ideas and emotions, as well as having
There are so many people that we meet in our lives, of which only some make lasting impressions. People who accept and like us for who we are. People who genuinely care about our well-being. People who will talk with and us listen to us. People who challenge us to be stronger, to
I’m a late bloomer because I was raised in the belief of the imminent ending of the world. Now I’m living in a future I never saw or planned for.
And many of us have a similar sense of this for different reasons. So go lightly, gently, and give yourself and others grace. ♥️
On a much brighter note, I’m on my way to see some ACTUAL godly people - The grandparents! I’m so grateful they are still around. If they can’t come over for Easter lunch then Easter lunch is coming over to them!
And, suddenly, I was more myself than I ever was before. The downdrafts had turned to updrafts, the profane turned to beauty through the avenue of truth, and I bade a farewell to the cracked roads of culture and artificial landscapes.
Somewhere, in an alternate reality, everything I’ve ever lost comes back to me and loves me.
Somewhere my weakness and gullibility display their roots of hope and trust proudly.
Somewhere, in another reality, the grass is always gentle underfoot and joy has room to germinate
Do you ever hold popcorn in the palm of your hand real close to your mouth, pretend your a frog, and then just SHOOT your tongue out and grab that popcorn like it’s a fly and then revel in that satisfaction? 🐸
Just me?
As I was falling asleep, I thought I heard a woman in the distance screaming. It totally freaked me out, so I got really quiet and still to try and listen more closely. I heard it again, so I start thinking, oh my god what should I do? What could be happening to this woman?
This is what having a debilitating relationship with food can look like:

• Snacks as meals
• Fasting, binging and/or purging
• Labeling food as “good/bad”

•Fear of eating something “unhealthy” or fear of food in
So apparently they are remaking Never Ending Story into a film series.
All I’ve got to say is that it better contain the same amount of nightmare fuel as when I was a kid.
