Happy March y’all!! And of course, with March, comes St. Patrick’s day, and with St. Patrick’s day, we talk about luck. So let’s talk about luck ☘️ For the past few months, Lucky Girl Syndrome has been a hot topic on social media, and when creators are talking about it, they often mention that a healthy dose of delulu was the selulu (if you are chronically offline, delusion is the solution). What is actually happening, however, is that in pretending that they are happier and

Look, everyone I have spoken to (and I bartend- I talk to a lot of people) all agree that this year so far is not it. Shit’s expensive, work sucks, everyone’s getting laid off, and at the end of the day the constant influx of news and stress leaves you so tired all you can do is order takeout and rot to Vampire Diaries.

This will not be like that time in Stranger Things when Will faced the mindflayer and told it to "Go AWAY" and it just took over his brain, I promise. I

For this penultimate prompt in understanding the basics of you, we're discussing needs and wants. Now, when I say needs, I am not talking about water or leafy greens (but you should participate in both of these things often). I am talking about what you need to feel neutral and safe and cared for. For example, for my brain to progress past survival mode, I need to my dogs to have gone outside, my hair to not be oily, and my bed needs to be made. I don't make the rules, this i
