Just a poorly drawn carrot writing about life and stuff she cares about
If you want to read part 1 of The Social Heebie Jeebies, check out the post that I wrote almost three years ago. Before you read the following, you should know that it took me a while to finish this post, meaning that “last Sunday” isn’t necessarily the actual last one, since there’s been a … Continue reading The Social Heebie Jeebies, Part 2
The title of today’s post is more than just a little inspired by Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, a TV show that I recently saw a handful of episodes of. I won’t go into details about the show, nor will I tell you whether I like it or not. Zero spoilers ahead! What this post … Continue reading Curb Your Obsession
I was going to do another one of those easy-breezy end-of-the-year wrap-ups this month. But then life got in the way and things stopped being easy-breezy for a bit. And now I just don’t feel like it anymore. My wrap-up mood is gone, to say the least. Whoosh. In fact, despite all the really cool … Continue reading It’s a Wrap!
Does it count as falling off the waggon if I’m making a conscious decision? Am I weak for changing my mind even though no one, not even me, would have expected me to? Do I need to get my sh*t together because I’m not living all aspects of my life in such a way that … Continue reading Unpopular Opinion

Her mother didn’t object.It was the day she learned that she was shy, and she kept believing it for a very long time. Relatives and … Continue reading The Power of Words
“I’m so overwhelmed by everything right now!” “Oh, okay. What exactly is causing you distress?”. “Everything! Nothing?! All of it, I think? Life. My existence. People. Things. Having to get up in the morning and do stuff!” “Oh, alright then. Makes perfect sense. NOT.” This could be me talking to basically anyone I know, me … Continue reading General Overwhelm
When I woke up this morning, something just didn’t feel right. I was hurting and sad and I didn’t quite know why. Right before waking up, I had a dream in which I heard my toaster beep (I have one of those super fancy toasters that don’t scare the hell out of you by catapulting … Continue reading Blast From the Past
About a year ago, my main text rant buddy introduced me to the notion of attachment theory by recommending an audio book with the title “Attached: The New Science of Adult Attachment and How it Can Help You Find – and Keep – Love” by Amir Levine and Rachel Heller.
