Finding balance in routine and falling into the steps of adulthood is tricky! I share a chunk of my experience here in my new post.
We can't all be Carrie Bradshaw.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

I just realized he didn’t ghost me. I just dropped the bar so low that he tripped.
When I started this business and carried it over to social media, I made a decision: before I criticize someone’s method, I ask myself, “Why did they do it that way? What do they know that I don’t?”
We could all use a little more humility and a lot more curiosity. Maybe they’re wrong. Maybe their way is flawed. But I’ll tell you this, you’ll never change anyone’s mind by coming at them with a hammer. If you want to lead, learn to ask first.

Hi friends, I’m new here-kind of.
I write about beauty and mental health blogs for the emotionally unavailable & scorched. I write glow-up guides, breakup recovery stories, skincare confessions, & unhinged personal essays that hit a little too close to home.

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.
Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

This story is personal. And it’s an urgent question Christendom must contend with: why are white Christians the meanest people on the internet?
The Messages That Broke Me
Mr. Hartman is mostly correct about the scope of the GOP 2022-24 advertising approach: "Republican strategists know that a terrorized populace will quickly defer to a strongman authoritarian leader who promises to keep them safe from the evil monsters they’ve identified."
However, in all fairness, the fear campaign we have all lived through during 2019-22 may have been the most harrowing, and, sadly, the one leaving the most mental agony and fear with our current children (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8445752/). For those of us who have been in the classrooms and wore masks, we can attest to the worst fear we have ever seen in children, and we don't call them 'spreaders.' (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32371442/)
The political nightmare that we have all allowed to be a permanent fear machine in all public campaigns ought to shame all of us adults born since post WWII; it's a cancer we stood by and allowed to happen. Blaming one political party, or both, do not solve the problem, when we are 'it.' Surprisingly, one by one, we have the power to simply say no, simply turn off the TV, and simply contribute to peace makers and cancel subscriptions to media that don't have a balance.
For progressives not to flock together, instead of living among their conservative co-citizens is not a bad idea either.
For conservatives to be mindful that their future may rest on conceding some slack on things such as insane laws that allow pharmaceuticals to advertise in support of addicting drugs, and laws that allow students to become perpetual slaves to mindless debts. Perhaps the word 'discussing' is a better term than 'arguing and name calling.'
