I have realized that my brain is an electrochemical conceptual slow cooker.
-
is it possible to actually embody contradiction? And, therefore, paradox?

Actual conversation with one of my dogs:
*Frak jumps on me as i sit at the desk working, scratching my arm and almost ripping my bracelet off in the process*
Me: Ow! Dude, that hurt!
Frak: Ruff!
Me: You’re violent, sometimes, ya know that?
Frak: Ruff! Awoo! Awoooooooo!
Me: So you wanting to go out when i’m busy working gives you the right to abuse me?
Frak: Awoo! Ruff!
Frickin dogs, man…. lol

How important is spirituality in your life?
Very much so, though that has not always been the case. But the fact of the matter is, everyone needs to believe in something, on a far deeper, more instinctual level.
Believing in something – your deity of choice, nature, the universe, or even the unknown – is somehow essential for humans.
i have known people who truly don’t believe in anything, and i let them convince me that the things I believed in were silly or nonsensical. In some cases, they used my own logic against me. But, something still felt off after i stepped away and set those beliefs to the side.
i have also since realized that existence without that belief is lonely, empty, and meaningless. It leaves this gaping hole in your being, that you desperately (and unsuccessfully) try to fill.
i don’t care who you are or what your thoughts about the world are – everyone needs to believe in something outside of, and more powerful than, themselves. and i’m not at all saying that you have to subscribe to some existing school of thought or religion or anything for that belief to be valid and effective. What you believe in doesn’t matter – just that you do.

If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?
Interesting question….
One outfit I do wear over and over is jeans and a black T-shirt. So, if I had to pick the outfit I was forced to wear in this hypothetical situation, that would be it.
If there were an outfit I would have to be forced to wear at all, much less repeatedly, it would be anything involving a skirt. Not really a girly chick, here! 🤷♀️😝

Write about your first crush.
The first boy i remember having a crush on was Jonathan Brandis from SeaQuest DSV.
Jonathan Brandis was a boy, and as such, “a nasty ass little boy” according to my father. Boys were to be avoided, and would tease you or yank your braids if they liked you. They were mean. They were icky.
But Jonathan wasn’t just a boy. He was smart. And he was super cute. And he could talk to dolphins!! Surely that redeemed him!

Sometimes, it’s funny to remember your childhood logic.
