WAIT, IT’S SO QUIET OCTOBER 2ND 2023

THE RANT: WAIT, IT’S SO QUIET

Hello humans, since you last read… I was going through it… still ha! So the amazing thing I am going through for over a week now is my anxiety has diminished…. ??? ….

It’s been so weird because I literally feel the little voice in my head trying to go through the cabinets and find some bullshit to be paranoid about. So far, so good. I do plan to work on myself more and excited to see how I grow as a person. I know already I’ve grown so much and I ‘ve already been proud of myself, but in recent months, I realized I still had things on the back burner that needed attention. So, I feel good.

I’ve also just had my last anniversary with my husband and we celebrated with my son that he’s help me raise since he was one. We told my son we are getting divorced and honestly, I thought he was going to be “I’m not surprised,” but he was more like “um, I am totally caught off guard and need to process.” Hurt my heart because I know it will sink, in time. I guess I should believe he wouldn’t guess because my husband and I have just lived like friends most of our lives.

But, it’s time for me to be an independent woman. I have been a girlfriend, mother and wife since I was 14. I am 35 now and was only ever single between 18 and 19 years old. I wanna rediscover myself and coming to terms with who I am, I am someone who really wants to be alone. My husband and I love each other, we are best friends but we definitely want different things and it’s time to do the right thing for both of us. My husband is still staying around anyways, I have debt to get rid of and I recently got an awesome side job that is gonna help rid of that soooo much faster.

I am trusting the road I am on. Feels good. A bit quiet in my head though… hard to get comfortable with that yet.

MUSIC

Seeing Don Broco this month! So excited! I love this song but I didn’t see it on their setlist, oh well!

MOVIES AND SHOWS

A Discovery of Witches (MAX) * * * * *
Based on the books, only 3 seasons. Loved the story about witches, vampires and demons. There’s a separation but one witch is about to change everything for the sake of love. I might watch it again to be honest haha.

Love at First Sight 2023 (Netflix) * * * *
This was sooooooooo cute. I recommend it. I love the layout of the story. Main story is about a girl missing her plane and not fate has brought her and another man together. Both having personal issues brings them together and NOT together… it’s just so sweet.

Love Again 2023 (Netflix) * * * * *
Love this little rom-com. And if you love Celine Dion, watch it. Story is about a woman whose boyfriend died and the struggle to move on. Texting her dead boyfriend’s phone number was actually going to someone else… go watch…

Love is in the Air 2023 (Netflix) * * *
This was a simple cute movie. Story about a woman and her dad’s piloting business and how this man comes to shut them down but he kinda falls in love…

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (Netflix) * * * * *
I am a sucker for UFO valley. Documentary where they do tests on mysterious lands. It’s really interesting.

Some shows I recommend if you have nothing to watch: AMerican Monster, 90 Day Fiance

Shadow Work
Heard about it? Done it? Thoughts?

I just bought an audiobook, but I realized maybe I can’t listen to it in car like I did with previous audiobooks. Seems more activity based. Gonna try it this week.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, yes I make candles! I make symbolic candles. Candles with meaning, I guess you can say like a type of intention candle.
I choose a theme, I do research on the meaning of herbs and flowers so that it matches well with my theme candle. Then I have to play with scents so they smell good together. Each candle has 3 scents I mix, not premixed. They are great for meaningful gifts! Etsy Shop Here
