Nostalgia (DP#119)
Since growing up, my attachment to my past has gotten weaker and weaker. However, all it takes is one sniff of a certain smell or walking through an older house, to instantly transport myself back to the better, younger years.

Positive Relationships (DP#118)
At this point in my life, I am done forcing myself to be surrounded by people who drag me down. Basically, everyone in my immediate life right now could be considered a positive relationship. For the most part, the remainder of my family I actually still see on a regular basis is one of the…

Sports Mascot and Colors (DP#117)
This is a bit goofy, but I would create the Capys! The colors would be a chill aquamarine blue and white. The mascot would obviously be a capybara wearing a jersey with the typical orange on its head. I am hoping the competitors would underestimate the sheer power of the team since it gives off…

Change in Political Ideologies (DP#116)
I could not tell you exactly when I got into politics for the first time, but it was probably around high school and college. During the early stages, I got caught up into some identity politics, particularly the feminist movement due to all of my female friends in high school. While having these beliefs felt…

The Perfect Nook (DP#115)
I am back! I truly hope everyone had an amazing holiday week. We finally had the opportunity to go down to my in-laws for Christmas, so we decided to take full advantage and enjoy our times away from stress and work.

Am I a Good Judge of Character? (DP#113)
Honestly, I feel like I am, however I do tend to give people the benefit of the doubt regardless, sometimes too much. When I first meet somebody, particularly when somebody brings someone new into the circle, I pay close attention to how they are interacting with everyone. If they are just sucked into their phones…

When I am Most Happy (DP#112)
On most days is either early in the morning, or later in the evening. Pretty much whenever it is the quietest, and when we are just figuring out what our plans are for the day or when we are finished before bedtime. If we have plans for the following day, it may be difficult for…

Last Thing I Did for Fun (DP#111)
Probably play videogames. We have entered into a bit of a lull with the van since we are waiting for all the mechanical work to be done. This had led me to fall back into playing videogames since I have found it hard to concentrate on reading. Right now, I have gotten reinvested into some…

Positive Males in My Life (DP#109)
Unfortunately, I grew up around some very angry and hateful men, so this type of question was always difficult for me to answer truthfully and honestly. Besides my husband, who has helped me deal with so much mental and emotional crap from my past, my father-in-law has shown me how true men ought to act.…

Oh, How Life Changes (DP#108)
It’s tricky because I have never been one of those people who seriously plans out their lives. I mean yeah, I have plans on the short term, but it got hard because it felt like every dream I had either turned out to kind of suck, or my priorities changed. As far as where I…

Lessons Learned Recently (DP#107)
Patience is the biggest lesson I have been forced to confront recently. With everything going on with our future, it has been a constant fight of wanting things to go quicker than they are. Particularly with getting the actual van. The number of days spent browsing Facebook marketplace, messaging people, trying to plan around schedules…

Cities I Would Like to Visit (DP#106)
Basically, all of them. Well, actually not really lol I am very much not interested in dealing with driving and parking the van in any high-density metropolitan areas like NYC or LA. It just seems like it would be an absolute nightmare dealing with all the traffic and expensive as all heck parking. We have…

Finding Our Home Part 3
We have got the van!! Having spent the past week or so trying to find an extended van that was both in decent shape and decently priced, we have finally found the one. This leg of the journey has been one of the more stressful parts since I generally hate having to message random people…

First Day as an Aunt (DP#105)
I have been low-key waiting for a prompt like this. The story of finding out I was an aunt is probably the most dramatic story of my life (so far) so I figured I would write about it lol This story begins a little over three years ago. I had actually just completed my first…
