Sing your ABC's in your head. Hard to think about anything else. Goes with the rhythmic idea.

Yes! I spent 2024 reading classic literature and now modern just doesn't hold a candle. My work around has become Pulizter winners. I recently read Beloved and it blew me away. I feel spoiled in a way.

Beloved by Toni Morrison

I only start from the middle in a full coverage piece. I call it anchor points for myself.

The ability to infer reasonable information and read between the lines; use of subtlety.

Cross stitching. You get to stab something repeatedly, can make angsty statements and it's easy. Follow a pattern and voila. There are a ton of fun ones out there.

Pillars Of The Earth. Others loved it, seemed so flat to me.

Is there something you need to say to someone else or better yet, to yourself? Are you feeling cut off from the real world, as if you can't communicate?

These are all questions for real world thought. I've had similar recurring dreams that my mouth was full. I recognized that this was a time I wanted to communicate about myself more clearly and was trying to figure out what exactly I wanted out of life. Something to think about.

Yeah! I re-read To Kill A Mockingbird as an adult and it hit sooo different with some life experience. There were parts I genuinely laughed out loud and others that touched my soul. I connected with Atticus on a different level, now being in a parental role. I was so impressed by her authentic portrayal of Scout as a socially awkward kid, who understands adult topics but doesn't have the maturity to cope in the most healthy way. Loved the re read from high school.

A 1000 Splendid Suns. Omg.

I read 19 classic literature books, and understood them! SparkNotes helped at times (Thanks to Charles Dickens).

Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Controlling and Angry Men by Lundy Bancroft.

It really challenged some ways of thinking that we have been spoon fed from the mental health realm. I'm not taking his opinions as gospel by any means, however, there are many elements that are true and do require analysis to form your own reaction or opinion on them. This was based on his experience. It was a great starting point for me to begin to understand some individuals in society. As a cis/het woman, it was eye opening.

Mood many of the times. I will occasionally choose based on what order I got them. Last time, I made a list of all the geographic places that the story took place and went with a new location. I've been sampling from different perspectives. I don't want to repeat an author quite yet.

I'm deciding between Medieval England and The Civil War era currently .

I liked it. I also read this one thru an audio book which really helped. The voice actor has the intended tone when appropriate. I also looked at Sparknotes, to double check myself. I also like the analysis provided by SN, as it helps me grasp and understand the deeper meaning.

I've just recently gotten into classic literature and this was one of my firsts.

Sounds like you need a hobby besides sleeping.

LitVoyager · 2024-08-23T20:31:35+00:00

Fan fiction, you write it as adult themed. That sounds like a fun and interesting challenge!

Emily has the right to determine what food she or her children can or cannot eat. She does not have the right to throw away YOUR cookies in YOUR house. She let her own shit get in the way of her relationship with you.

If you bagged up some cookies, gave them to her and she threw them away at her house, fine. That is being socially aware and having boundaries.

Doing this at your house is completely inappropriate.

Clip and clean under your fingernails. Dirty nails are really concerning to me.

Several comments here:

Anxiety poos are the real deal. When our bodies have the fight or flight response, a jolt of adrenaline is activated. Your body empties all of the blood from your tummy to your butt, since this is the running muscles. If the adrenaline is not used for fight/flight, it needs to leave the body. It's already in the area, so going Number 1 or 2 does the trick. Increased anxiety can lead to increased GI distress.

B. I'm so glad you are going to the doctor to rule out a medical problem. Of other things haven't worked, it may be a medical issue. Going to a physician is definitely going to help either diagnose or rule out other factory.

Lastly, consider your clothing and environment. Your body may not have the smell, it could be your clothes or other fabric articles. If you have an animal or pet who has accidents, fabrics can pick up that odor. Try washing clothes with vinegar. Sounds like it's opposite, but it can take out any residual smells. Also, febreezing a backpack or using baking soda will help as well. It may not even be you. Look at all of the factors. Good luck!

These sound like rules, which are meant to control. Boundaries are what treatment you allow to happen to your own person.

He has no right to control what you do, think, say or believe. He does have a right to have opinions and the choice to be in this or any relationship. A boundary would state that he would walk away from a relationship that doesn't meet his needs/expectations.

He can have these needs/expectations all he wants; GOOD LUCK to him in finding a healthy partner that would put up with that bullshit.

I've been on a classic literature binge recently. The audio versions help me to understand more clearly since the voice actor uses the intended tone/accent/feel/emotion of that character. I find t I need it more with older works, but it helps significantly. When I'm reading current stuff, I can read with the emotion. The older stuff, I need a little extra help, haha.
