main char energy
i spent a lot of today creating and then fiddling with a spreadsheet to help me figure out how much money i would like to make in order to cover my expenses vs. how much money i could possibly make without selling my soul. it is a very tricky equation to balance. i came up… Continue reading main char energy
cinderblocks
a few days ago, my ex’s mom told me that one of her friends went to a medium who said my ex’s feet have finally been released from cinderblocks and that he’s the happiest he’s ever been. she took that to mean he has finally “passed on.” that made sense to me because i had… Continue reading cinderblocks
