My boyfriend is currently on a fishing trip in Southern Utah (yes I have a boyfriend, yes he is into fishing, and yes I live in Utah, I know), and since he lives alone I am currently wearing a $5 pair of leggings I bought at Walmart last night, a light blue sweater that is comfy as freak and hides my gut, and for some reason a rose-gold watch that I am still in love with because it is new, all while in his bed. I also strung some twinkle lights over his bed (hope you like the festivities, babe). Since the heat is something I can't tamper with, I have both the heat and the swamp cooler on (good thing utilities are included in his rent) and I alternate between being freezing and dying of heat.
I'm currently trying a loose "bone broth fast," which means I am liquids only for the next three days, and I can feel my stomach starting to get hungry. I sense three cups of liquid coming my way.
It is about 10:30 AM and I have spent the morning participating in the following activities:
Watching Grey's Anatomy
Reading the first two chapters of my sister's recommended book, The Untethered Soul
Deciding to have an untethered soul
Peeing from already drinking 1,000 liquid
Running some reports for work
Emailing out the results of said reports
Missing my boyfriend
Catching up on blogs I used to read very faithfully
Wondering what to do with all the hurt in my communities
Tweezing my eyebrows
Deciding whether or not to start blogging again
Staring at my screen trying to come up with a new blog name
Chugging bone broth
If you're still reading at this point, we might be on to something.
As humans, we spend our time bouncing from the very superficial to the subconscious and sometimes conscious issues that have plagued, piqued, and perplexed human kind and their subsets for generations. In the four hours I have been awake, I have contemplated acts of terror, body image, self-realization, bone broth fasts, marginalization within my religious community, the state of my facial complexion, and racial inequality at higher-level educational institutions. That is me. That is the human dilemma.
I want this blog to be all of that. I want it to be a forum for all of the things that my self-involved brain can wrap itself around. Call it rebranding, rebooting, whatever you want. I love to write. I love to pretend other people care about my opinions. I love to call out my own self-absorption.
Before I take a nap (yes my life is very hard), I am going to publish this post. And I am going to attempt to create new posts (and to actually publish them) on a regular basis. Come back if you please.
