Sometimes, things are just hard. This is even more true when things are new. Because then, on top of being hard, they're also a little scary. The thing is, if we let ourselves live in that mind space - if we allow ourselves to exist in that fear, then we are going to miss out… Continue reading 238. How to… take a leap.

237. How to… read between the lines.
People really can be cruel. And a little dumb sometimes. Which... isn't the best combination. And maybe that's a little mean of me to say, but hear me out: All it does is breed hurt and hate. And the unfortunate part of that is that humans are particularly good at these things, and the internet… Continue reading 237. How to… read between the lines.
236. How to… not be mean.
I know a little bit about bullies. I know, because I spent my youngest years not understanding why the other little kids wouldn't play with me, my elementary years as a target for the "mean girls" - and then again in middle school, for the meaner girls, and high school, where it was no longer… Continue reading 236. How to… not be mean.
234. How to… Come back from the dead.
I have this thing I do where sometimes, when I'm having a rough time, I like to fall off of the face of the Earth. I hide on my platform a lot and talk to about three people and that's that until I'm feeling less like a swamp witch and a little more human. And… Continue reading 234. How to… Come back from the dead.
233. How to… keep it up.
This week has been rough. I feel like I'm always saying something like that, and sometimes, I find myself wondering when it's going to just stop for a little bit. Sometimes, I bottle it all up because I get tired of having to explain myself, or worse yet, battle that internal struggle of "When is… Continue reading 233. How to… keep it up.
231. How to… accept the things you cannot change.
Last week, I went to a Ceremony of Eternal Bonding in Final Fantasy XIV. Think partnering, but for Second Life. It was for a really good friend of mine that used to be something more. She's found someone amazing, and it's so nice to see her happy. And the whole experience was actually really fun.… Continue reading 231. How to… accept the things you cannot change.
227. How to… wake up.
Y'all... there is not enough coffee in the entire state this morning. Last night was my first night in the house dealing with "oh shit" storms. In Nova-land, I categorize storms in three ways: Level 1 - "Oh, meh." - A minor inconvenience. Sugar dissolves in water, after all. Level 2 - "Oh, my!" -… Continue reading 227. How to… wake up.
226. How to… make time.
I know. It's been a long time since last!blog. But guys... Guys... being a new homeowner has been simultaneously the most awesome and the most exhausting thing I have ever experienced. If it weren't for the fact that I looked at my phone earlier, I'd have no idea what day it is. I'm pretty sure… Continue reading 226. How to… make time.
223. How to… survive the dark stuff.
'Tis the season, y'all. First of all, I know it's been almost a month since I've updated my blog. Sorry I suck. It's been a bit busy in the real world and things have been hectic, to say the least. I've been dealing with doctors and medical stuff and everything in between. And... I close… Continue reading 223. How to… survive the dark stuff.
221. How to… see through the darkness.
Oh, my gosh, you guys. If all the stars align and nothing explodes and there is literally nothing else crazy that happens, I close on my first house in like nine days. Nine. Days. My house. A house of my own. With four walls and a roof and a yard. In a neighborhood. With kids… Continue reading 221. How to… see through the darkness.
