standards in relationships

I used to think I earned worth by helping others.  Now I know my worth is unconditional.  I still enjoy helping others.  But I exist for myself.  It’s a great time to raise my standards in relationships. Yes, my chosen family member helped me see it was time.  They noticed me giving and giving in… Read More »

videos lately

Hello, reader.  How’ve you been?  Do you need much entertainment?  I like reading memes on instagram and harvesting them to share with a meme chat I’m on.  Otherwise, I don’t see shows or videos much.  But I watch videos on YouTube sometimes, often videos that help me learn something.  Here are some favorite videos lately.… Read More »
