    A lot things. Going for a hike or bike-motorcycle ride alone (I love my alone time), cuddling ... especially with a friend, working out, a good book.

  • A hug from friends or hanging out with them.

    Or this AdoraPibble. She seems to know when I need a cuddle. She will get right next to my back and plop down making sure she is right next to me. It always brings me a warm smile.

    Draw something silly…

    Or listen to Abbey Road…

    Or watch a baseball game…

    When none of that works I can always fall back on how absurd all of this is.

    How incredibly ridiculous we are, in all of our goofy convictions, all of our cruelty and kindness, our creativity and our destructiveness.

    And I remember that everyone breathing right now won’t be within 150 years, and that nothing matters, and of course it can never make sense.

    So I eat a gummie, and probably a cookie, and go back to drawing, music, and baseball.

  • Right now, listening to Cleveland Brown singing "All Nite Long" by Lionel Richie.😁😊

  • First, I ask myself questions to see where these emotions are originating from. I believe that applying logic helps to define emotions, giving them a beginning and an end. If they’re originating from a deep place: I’ll give them time to run their course; going as far as bringing up memories and images to encourage the flow.

    But, if the emotions are coming from a shallow place: music, hobbies, or exercise usually does the trick.

    What I’ve recently learned through a ton of introspection is how detrimental it is to bury such negative emotions in things such as work and hedonism. Because, darkness nurtures and grows: from the darkness of our mothers wombs, to suppressed desires, and buried treasure… burying negative emotions is the equivalent to raising a serpent into a dragon. After years and years of ignoring them, they can become too big to handle.

  • I continually smile, seriously. It makes me look younger, good for tightening muscles. Helps me stay positive.

  • I apparently naturally smile. There are some that believe I am happy all the time; they are only right some of the time. I am usually not conscious of it either.

  • I recently found these two pictures at Pikes Place Market. They resemble my two cats. Honestly it makes me so happy to look at these pictures and also pictures of my cats because they truly complete me, and remind me not to be sad, because they’re always here for me and tend to feel my energy when it’s off, I appreciate that they both do their best to be here for me and keep me happy ✨

  • @SitaRosee I LOVE IT. AND I LOVE YOUR SWEET KITTIES. they're so much more patient than mine 😆😆😆😆

  • @MissAdventurous I’m such a lover and my cats honestly are too. They love to love and anytime I’m home Sugar especially, just wants to be held constantly 🥹✨ they both complete me in so many ways, continue to heal me ✨✨🥹

  • @SitaRosee I still need to meet Sugar in person, one of these times my Seattle trip will align when you're not out of town 🤭😂💗😽 sending you all the hugs to you and the kitties in the meantime.


  • @MissAdventurous some recents of them, Miss Charlotte so patient when I make her wear her necklace and little hat

  • I take a walk and then I go stalk my favorite heels😂😂
    Getting my favorite meal afterwards also helps!

  • You will absolutely love Sugar, and she’ll love you too. She’s such a baby!! I can’t wait for you to meet her soon 🥹 I’ll be back in town after the 5th. Surely enough our schedules will align 💕 we love you @MissAdventurous

Keeping an eye on me always and her eyes on any one who visits that sits close to her momma. She’s always watching. She’s my sweet guard cat, I’m happy you found your smile with Miss Charlotte 🥹✨ @MissAdventurous

  • The other day someone sent me a message saying, "Take your life. Like serious."

    It makes me smile that they were banned very shortly after I reported the message. And it makes me laugh that they thought such low effort lack of originality would do anything other than make me laugh at them. They got banned for sending two lame sentences.
