A share-y soul (?) reflects on the present

I think it's better to limit time online. I didn't like my nightmare last night, and I noticed some of the internet content is getting to be very dramatic because this is a very dramatic country right now. Two of us in this domicile ate pretty much the same things today and one of us has a more upset digestive system so I'm drinking broth. It's good to have a nice soft pettable cat to hang out. 

Time spent outdoors in nature was very nice to enjoy, today, too!

It sounds like Rose Wilder Lane also got to experience some 🥂 glittering parties 🥂 in between grueling work assignments and bouts of brutal suffering.

The way Rose Wilder Lane was in love with Albania kind of reminds me of how Diana Marcum was in love with the Azores.

Surviving my own nightmares makes me feel mighty...

I'm just a female in this life, and I can't do it right now.

Maybe the lesser richer men should save the morer richer men from themselves.

Sometimes life is not so beautiful, is it? Tsk tsk.

"Spirit Run by Noé Álvarez" — Open Letters Review

https://openlettersreview.com/posts/spirit-run-by-no-lvarez

"The challenges of the run are expectedly intense. The daily physical demands put the author’s body in a near-constant state of pain, especially after he experiences an injury, and the changing terrain presents shifting threats. Unpleasant interactions with non-runners are unavoidable as they pass through densely populated areas. Runners become target practice for rock-throwers and occasionally draw the attention of those with more sinister ideas. Even the runners, though intensely connected with one another, are not immune to in-fighting. The group’s rapport begins to go further and further south as the run does."

~ Olive Fellows

Pointing out trauma makes me feel better, actually.

Just look at all this PTSD.

She's human, and appalled.

I'm glad people are waking up to some things, though.

I think the Patriarchy wants people to be a part of the Epstein class, and I think I will never be able to see fraternities as truly good places because of all of the terrible things that have happened as a result of the fraternity brother mentality. And yes, there have been some better fraternity brothers, but why couldn't they have held the other ones accountable? It's too much.

Perhaps it is natural to want to avoid a lot of knowledge sometimes.

Perhaps it is just how people are able to cope and manage.

It's not to say that this has not been a very violent place, because it has been.

We could be better here because we didn't have to go through World War I and World War II. Some people back then had to experience both.

That was both horrifying and helpful.

We rented a house and there were old black and white WWI era pictures we found in the garage. I don't think I can even remember the pictures so clearly. I just remember looking at pictures of things like people lying in the street with heads chopped off next to them and a very skinny person with the caption "Victim of the Huns" underneath it. I don't know who took the pictures or why they were there, but they told us that terrible atrocities had happened. And isn't it easier to look at an old black and white picture than to have to see it happen in your own neighborhood?

They can do it. They may choose better.

People really need to go deeper and be more careful about not falling into old Patriarchal patterns and habits because those old patterns have been put in place for reasons, and Patriarchal Ones are hoping you fall into them, just like falling into a trap. Because their consciousness is not very evolved and they don't want to know too much or grow or change yet, and that's why you cannot follow their example.

I can do clearing processes. 😌

A bunch of traumas are surfacing, and I appreciate them because they're letting me know that they're still there and they need to be dealt with and acknowledged and stuff like that.

Ladybug, ladybug, fly away home.

Your house is on fire. Your children are crying. 

It was hard for my mother to be a single parent. She would leave us alone in the apartment sometimes.

It was hard to have a first grade teacher who was broken by her own life and mentally ill and who decided I was this detestable outsider who was a rich girl she hated because my mom dressed me a little bit better and we weren't Catholic and I had a little bit of an accent. 

For goodness sakes we lived in an apartment. We were not rich.

I guess she could tell my mother had more money growing up than she had had. She actually didn't like my mother, but she took it out on me. My mother's lifestyle is not the lifestyle I got either, though.

Tragic stuff to know and to heal from today.

People know not what they do.

They also don't want to know what they do.

You cannot convince them to want to know anything they don't want to know about before they're ready to know it.


Lots of things really need to change.

Going to ask the universe for lots of help and I'm going to turn over a new leaf.

I had a bad dream.

 I had a bad dream that I was trying to joke around with my husband even as we heard planes flying over and rumors about bombs dropping and then someone came to the door and delivered some sort of letter to him and I know this was just a dream because it was set up differently from the apartment we live in now but try to joke around with him and then something happened where my mind fragmented and I saw a little a little a lot of little girls running around and then he got unresponsive and then the next thing I knew I was talking to some people he knew at work and it seemed like something was in the letter that poisoned him or something and we didn't know he was going to survive and he was at some hot hospital but I didn't know which one and that I was supposed to make a long trip John to see my family and then I don't even know if that was possible and then I had to worry about the cat and it was going to take care of her. It was just a totally bad dream.
