This Moment

J.M.J.



I don't often write about the mundane details of my life. I think that no one cares. I mean, I don't even care. The truth is, though, that every single small detail of your life matters. It means something. It is propelling you towards your goal. What is your goal? Have you considered what that is? Let's take a look at what I'm doing right now, and where it's directing me (or not directing me):

  • Listening to coffee house music (I'm not at a coffee house, it's a Spotify playlist)
  • Drinking water
  • Wearing my pajamas and robe, unbrushed hair and all
  • Writing this blog post before nine on a Saturday morning
  • Sitting in a slouched position (so bad)
  • I have my space heater on
  • My peach-scented wallflower is plugged in
  • I'm thinking pretty hard about all the things I normally don't pay any attention to
  • I'm starting to feel more awake.
Okay. Looking at all this stuff, it doesn't say much, except, she needs to get a life. (I have one, trust me.) Next step: going deeper.

I wanted something chill to listen to, and any playlist with the word "coffee" in it is as good as listened to. Actually, give me anything with the word "coffee" or the picture of it or the actual real thing and I'm sold. 

Water is the essence of life. I'm trying to be healthier. And it helps that my Drink Your Water app reminds me and I love it at the end of the day to see that my goal has been reached. So now that has become my positive reinforcement. Whatever it takes, right? (Kind of sad that it took an app to make me drink water. Anyway.)

I'm being kind of lazy this morning, I'll admit, but there's nothing wrong with that. I have nothing pressing to do, and no one can see me. Now you just have that mental image. You're welcome.

Hey, at least I'm up! A lot of people are still sleeping (good for them, seriously.) 

Yeah, I should really sit up more. I should also exercise more. And eat healthier. I should, I should, I should...

It's not overly cold outside but the heater takes the chill off.

I like my room to smell nice and this helps with that. 

Weird that I sat using my phone for about forty-five minutes playing games and answering e-mails and it wasn't until I started writing a blog post that I felt like my mind was finally alert. Go figure.

All right, so I really don't see what the purpose of all this is...so I guess I'm supposed to go even deeper!

Okay, so I'm lazy and I like coffee, and writing wakes my brain up. I have to be actually typing though, that tap-tapping on my phone keyboard doesn't cut it apparently. 

Voila, there you go. Hope you weren't bored to death.

May God bless your day abundantly!
Stephanie

Lyrics Dissection: Scared To Be Lonely by Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa

+ J.M.J. It was great at the very start Hands on each other Couldn't stand to be far apart Closer the better This is the infatuation stage. Every relationship is exciting at the beginning. You want to be around each other all the time. Now we're picking fights And slamming doors Magnifying all our flaws And I wonder why Wonder what for Why we keep coming back for more Every healthy relationship has fights and disagreements. It matters how you solve them. Slamming doors isn't a great way to do that. But I will say, that a relationship will show all your flaws more than anything else will! This girl is questioning whether the relationship is worth it since they fight.  Is it just our bodies? Are we both losing our minds? Is the only reason you're holding me tonight 'Cause we're scared to be lonely? Do we need somebody Just to feel like we're alright? Is the only reason you're holding me tonight &#

I Got a Hair Trim

Yesterday, I got my hair trimmed. I hadn't done that since last December. My bangs were getting pretty long, and I got them cut to be blunt. My hair is pretty long (almost below my chest) and I just got it trimmed. I did the slightly choppy effect for some edge. I've never been wild about my hair. The most daring I've gotten is to dye my hair dark red, still a natural hue, but some people who knew me well could tell I'd dyed it. Still, though my hair's back to its natural color these days, it fluctuates from light to dark in the summer and winter months and people who haven't seen me in awhile think I've dyed it darker. Below is a picture that is kind of what I'm talking about, but it's from December of last year.

What My 30th Year of Life Has Been Like

  I'm turning 31 tomorrow. What has my 30th year of life been like? I'll tell you. I spent months in bed. I had pushed myself so hard for so long that this was all I could do. I received many treatments from multiple mental health professionals that were ineffective and damaging. Friends reached out to me and helped out during my darkest times. I advocated for myself and obtained an ADHD diagnosis. After receiving proper treatment for my ADHD, my depression, which I have recurrently experienced severely since at least the age of 12, went away. I met a group of women who also care deeply about social justice issues. I had a sleep study done, and while I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea that existed only while sleeping on my back, I was given no other reason why I wasn't sleeping well. I went to an ENT specialist and he found that I had a very severely deviated septum and enlarged turbinates. With surgery, this was corrected and I can now breathe through my nose.  While re
