Evie Day 208
Good morning, and a happy Taco Tuesday to you all. Today is 10 October 2023.
Woke up, showered & shaved. Now I’m sitting here thinking about the state of the world, and it’s just a mess. There are a lot of people pointing fingers and shouting, with a lot more emphasis on assigning blame than working towards solutions.
It’s a rough news cycle.
There have been some other things I’ve had on my mind lately, too.
I haven’t always been good at having a thick skin. I used to sing, I was mocked, so I quit. When I was a kid, I used to write stories for fun – I was mocked, I quit. I went out for cross country my sophomore year of high school – I was hazed, so I quit. Time and time again in my life, if I started something, got made fun of, I would just quit. I sometimes wonder if I quit because I wasn’t good at it, if I quit because I couldn’t deal with the criticism, or if I was just trying to please people. Folks who have followed me on Facebook might recall there was a time when I changed my profile picture daily, generally cute animal pics, but I was mocked for that, so I quit. The same thing happened when I posted a daily gratitude post – did it every day, trying to come up with something to be thankful for … then I was mocked for it, and I don’t do that anymore.
Maybe I need to care less about what others think.
Something for me to think about.
I’m going to make a pot of coffee in a moment and ponder breakfast. I think we have ham, cheese, eggs, peppers, onion, and some mushrooms, so a big omelet could be in my future.
Alrighty, that’s enough for now. Time to get this in the can.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
