Good morn bby! I already got coffee, I had a weird night! If u've never heard of Schumman's resonance look it up, it basically tracks Earth's electromagnetic pulse/heartbeat. It gets crazier with storms/large weather events. people swear it affects their bodies day, & the chart from the last few days looks crazzzy. I use an app called Earthwave. the people are on to something lol. Hope u have a good Fri my 💞

Hi bub, woah it is a smokey morning! I have no idea what I'm going to do today. Pretend I'm not insanely anxious prob lol. I can hear my psych's advice in my head: "say excited, not anxious!" lmao she says the words we use matter, apparently. Okay anyways I'm off to distract myself with coffee, chores, maybe a podcast or two. So far is not working 😭 oh but my headache is gone! yay that. mysm xxx

Hi bby, happy Sat! srry for the late update, I woke up super early, got coffee, and then went back to sleep. I am anxious today & for some reason I wish for you most on weekends. Also, I have damn near read through the entire Bronte backlog. How crazy is that? Not a project I expected to take on this year lmao

I need to tell everyone something because I think it’s important. I never wanted any of this. I never cared about money or my career. I still don’t. I could be perfectly happy working in a bookstore for the rest of my life if it paid the bills. I fell in love, that’s how simple this was. We did nothing wrong, by any stretch.

I'm not sure about much. But there are a few things I know. I believe in myself & my story. I know that I'm smart and strong. I know I would cross an ocean for the one I love, & that's what makes me believe in it. I'm praying a lot so I feel closer to you x pls hold on tight to me if you're here & around me. Show me how to move through this and bring you home 💞

Until then, I shall leave you with the opening paragraph of Ch. 16, where I started today:
"THE FUND PROSPERED. By dint of Miss Keeldar's example, the three rectors’ vigorous exertions, and the efficient though quiet aid of their spinster and spectacled lieutenants, Mary Ann Ainley and Margaret Hall, a handsome sum was raised; and this being judiciously managed, served for the present greatly to alleviate the distress of the unemployed poor. The neighbourhood seemed to grow calmer. For a fortnight past no cloth had been destroyed; no outrage on mill or mansion had been committed in the three parishes. Shirley was sanguine that the evil she wished to avert was almost escaped, that the threatened storm was passing over. With the approach of summer she felt certain that trade would improve - it always did; and then this weary war could not last for ever; peace must return one day. With peace, what an impulse would be given to commerce!"
I remember when I used to think I could write, then I started reading this lady's books 😭
