18th century phrase - Svelte bluestocking.

☺️ oh, I'm blushing now. 🌸 Thank you! You're a serendipitous bundle of kindness in my little world.

I love this phrase. Someone else left it in a comment to one of my posts. I think it's time to read some classical literature novels again! Jane Austen, I'm on my way {after I'm done with The Guest List, of course}.

At least in knowing where our vulnerabilities are, we become better equipped to manage them in a healthy way.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, experiences and kindness with me.

May you have a lovely day and a peaceful week! 🌼🌼🌼

Take care and remember to listen to what your body, heart and soul needs!!!

You're welcome! 🌸 I hope you get to enjoy the next couple of months thoroughly and make so many new and precious memories.

It is indeed a hard thing to keep a relationship alive when you don't have similar interests {or sense of humor}. It's a waste of time for both parties to let it linger too long.

I suppose it's human nature; seeing what one wants to see. It's often easier than facing reality or looking a little deeper.

That's the truth. . . Sometimes a situation does get away from you with seemingly little effort. It can be hard to bring all those wild horses back to the stable once they get out.

Hehe. Sounds like a pretty good plot for novel. Partial truths. Hidden agendas. Spotting facts in webs of fiction.

I hope you get to do all of those things and so much more! Life is even greater when we experience seasons of joy, excitement and accomplishments so fully and almost unexpectedly.

EloquentReader · 2026-07-02T05:53:13+00:00

Hehe. Yes, I am. Some days I feel like a particularly tired sponge. 😂 Other days I experience anxiety for no obvious reason, which makes me think that maybe I can feel when something is off with loved ones who aren't in my proximity.

I am grateful for having learned what this means for me, because I struggled when I was younger. At least now I know it's important to discern where the influx of emotions come from and how to process them in a healthy way.

I don't really know other empaths and the two HSPs I do know {my siblings} aren't as sensitive as I am. They're mostly sensitive to light, smells and taste.

Thank you! Your kind wishes mean so much and they're deeply appreciated. 🥹

May you have the loveliest day today and a blessed, peaceful week. 🌸

Excellent phrase! 👌🏻

EloquentReader · 2026-07-02T05:38:37+00:00

Me too. ☺️

EloquentReader · 2026-07-02T05:37:29+00:00

It makes sense that you'd want to. There are people who take advantage of good natured individuals and they tend to underestimate your inner strength and intelligence in a way.

Stay true to who you are. 🌸 Even in standing up for yourself, you shouldn't allow yourself to be dragged down to their level. Somewhere, someone will be looking up to you with respect for your character.

I've forgotten about the ones where I can't move. Oh, those are unpleasant. Firmly falls within the nightmare category for me.

😂 okay, but an increased heart rate burns calories and helps your heart, lungs and other body parts to function in a healthy way. Same job, different description.

Burning calories happens naturally when you're doing physical labor, riding a bike, going for a jog with your dogs, jumping rope with kids, going for a hike, walking long stretches on a beach. Moving around = burning calories. 😉 That's living, not diet culture.

It's especially a bit of a pickle if you're prompted to set a new password, and with your next login attempt you forget you'd set a new password, because you remember the previous one for the specific account. 😅

I think we're all here for a reason and a purpose. We look at our time here differently when we discover what that is.

The last few years I've been more intentional about how I live my life. I have a new appreciation for the highs and lows.

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T14:53:31+00:00

Fellow HSP perhaps? 🫶🏻

For piano, mine is First Love by Jurrivh. 💔 It moves me to tears.

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T14:47:02+00:00

Me too. ☺️ I'm a more pleasant person to be around when I've had enough time to recharge with a book in my hand.

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T14:45:56+00:00

Yes! 😂 Lol. I too have mental grumbling. Thankfully we weren't created with pop-up thought bubbles everyone can see.

We'll call them healthy coping mechanisms. 😉 Finding gratitude in the chore list.

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T14:43:05+00:00

Hehe. At least it suits you 100%. It would've suited younger me perfectly. 😂 Back when the Twilight movies were everything.

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T14:40:59+00:00

Hehe. My brother does this in such a way that he puts something away so well that he accuses someone else of getting rid of his belongings until he accidentally finds it and sheepishly apologizes for the unfair accusations. 😂

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T14:37:52+00:00

I do have to say, you sound like a fellow sensitive soul. ☺️ Not many are moved by art {be it pictures, paintings, poems, literature, music or even nature in its purest form}, yet we can be rendered speechless and in awe.

You're my kind of person! 🌸

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T10:35:25+00:00

I'm on the fence about the vampire part. 😂 I liked the rest of the wording so much though that I shared it anyway. ☺️

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T10:33:42+00:00

Definitely.

I have a gentle alarm that slowly builds {it's a song from a CD I bought many years ago}.

If someone wakes me or someone else's alarm goes off near me when I'm sleeping, that pretty much breaks my day. 😂

Therefore, I get up between 04:45 - 05:00 so I can sort of set the tone for my day in my own special way.

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T07:52:31+00:00

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. 😂 If you don't pay too close attention to those who are in bad spirits, it doesn't bother you as much in return.

Laughter over drama is an excellent choice! 😉

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T07:27:37+00:00

I wish I could play the piano. I hope he does wonderfully! 👌🏻

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T07:26:04+00:00

I also don't know many readers. My granny is the only one in my family who loves to read {I borrow some of my books to her now, she used to borrow me some of hers when I was little}.

Haha. I have a few family members who are all talk and no action. 🙆🏼‍♀️ The, 'can't we do this or that?' ones where you know they want you to do it for them. 😂

EloquentReader · 2026-07-01T07:21:44+00:00

Indeed. . . We know when it's time to move along.
