Some of us aren’t “unmotivated.”
We’re depleted, overextended, and carrying way more than people see. 💗
Your worth isn’t measured by productivity.

People will blame you for burning everything behind you to move forward while they stay in a burning house.
Let them burn.

Studs: Cuddles?
Me: Not right now
S: *comes closer, mrrrring* Cuddles?
Me: Later
S: *stands in my face, forcing me to move or breathe in his fur* Cuddles?
Me: *sighs* Fine. *lifts covers to let him be the small spoon*
S: *cuddles*
Me: Oh! What nice cuddles. What a good boy. Nice biscuits. Good kitty.
…
Me: Yeah I heard it too. I just praised you for doing the thing I didn’t want to do.
This explains SO much. 😹

NPR Up First today was about movie awards.
They talked about struggles to get people into seats since the pandemic started.
Suddenly I realized I probably won’t ever see a movie in a theater again. Why? Well because I’ve realized it was never a thing I enjoyed but a thing I did because it was SUPPOSED to be fun. I’m done doing things I don’t enjoy just because other people think those things should be enjoyable.
Goddess, that’s freeing.
