A Thrill Of Hope
And just like that, it’s the week of Christmas. Boy howdy, has this been the shortest long year ever. I feel like more has happened in the last few months of my life since I left social media than it did before, but I know that’s not true. I just have no idea what I…

Holiday Blues
I snapped the above picture after I looked over and realized how much my brother looks and acts like our father. That’s not to say my brother never reminds me of Papa (what we called our dad), but something about this moment made me feel closer to my dad than I’ve had the ability to…

Thoughts From This Week
After posting my last blog post earlier this week, I thought about the fact that many of my posts have talked more about my grieving process over losing social media or my grieving process over other things or just grieving in general. That wasn’t why I started this blog, I promise. I had expected things…

Always On The Clock (A Longer Blog Than Usual)
I’ve been trying to write this blog for days, but something kept stopping me.– Life– Lack of motivation– Not having a good title– Going in the wrong direction The last one might surprise you since my tagline for this blog is literally living life without the socials, and that’s anything that’s happened from August 29…

Onward and Upward
I had an eventful weekend in just about all the ways. It was busy with dog-sitting a “new” dog, seeing The Chosen in theaters, helping my mom put together a new kitchen table (NOT the one in the above picture), and having a birthday party for my sister-in-law. I also had an eventful weekend in…

Old And New
So I guess there’s new social media out there. Big surprise with the way the world moves anymore. I move at a significantly slower pace and have no idea how I’m managing… the Lord is the answer I suppose. Also my mom reminding me that the outside world exists. My “political” podcasts are a lot…

Election Time Update
I could be writing for NaNoWriMo and had every intention of doing so, but chose instead to go on the hunt for some audiobooks I’ve listened to in the past to determine if my mom’s husband would enjoy any that he hasn’t already consumed in physical form. So instead I settled on a quick blog…

Writing Is Hard
I was going to wait until tomorrow to write this, but just remembered I’m having a write-in with friends for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo for short) and would rather write my blogs in the privacy of my own bedroom. Not that I don’t publish them for people to see, but I prefer people to…

Water Wins
In the absence of social media, I have a lot more random thoughts. Some of these thoughts stay with me and I ruminate on them. Others just float in and out of my head as fast as a leaf in high winds. One of the thoughts that I ruminated on was a silly idea. I’m…

What Is A Hobby?
As I’ve recently mentioned, I’ve been going through Annie F. Downs’s book, Chase The Fun and have been learning (or maybe relearning) what “fun” is. When I recently mentioned some of the things I’ve been doing that are and always have been fun to me (mainly reading and doing puzzles), multiple people decried those things…
