I wrote a lot this year. When threads dropped, my writing became more in-depth. The creative juices flowed easier and I often sat at my laptop and let the thoughts work themselves out. And sometimes the thoughts were profound.
Here are some of my favorite threads from the year.

I'm trying to eat more...and it isn't easy going from consistently eating almost nothing to trying to eat what you're supposed to in a day...especially when you don't always have the appetite to eat more.

Tornado watch turned into flash flood warning. I'm fine. I was never concerned that I'd see an actual tornado because of where I live. The rain has slowed too.

She ate and left not one crumb. It is weird when men immediately think being a stay at home husband looks appealing when their wives make a lot of money.

I hate to say it, but anti-bias hiring is not the fix-all for DEI. It only addresses one part of the problem, if it even addresses that part at all.
Maybe I'm a cynic, but this sounds like good marketing and not a DEI revolution on the rise.

Saw a cold take that said: Parental alienation is only possible if you’re not present.
It's a nuanced conversation to have, but they're wrong. Parental alienation can happen when you're present as well.

Sharing something I observed yesterday - a story about stress and the importance of self care:
Yesterday, finals started at the university where I work as a librarian. The library hosts activities to help students and staff relax during finals week including bringing in therapy dogs.

I think feelings are like 1000-piece puzzles without a picture for reference. It's our job to see what pieces go together and follow the story as the final picture unfolds. And whatever that final picture is, to be alright with it in the end.

I dislike it when people think the answer to getting out of poverty is flashy wealth. No, capitalism is not the solution to poverty.
Too many want to be at the top of the chain instead of changing the whole system for the benefit of everyone.

Fellow introverts, how do you prevent introversion from kicking in after you've made plans because you were feeling a little extroverted in the moment?

It takes me forever to warm up to people. I mostly say it's because I'm introverted. But the reality is that it's hard for me to be vulnerable with anyone because my vulnerability was weaponized as a child.
So I'm often questioning whether new people are safe or not.

At some point, I'll talk about the lessons 2023 taught me. However, what has been on my mind lately has been my increasing ability to deal with things head on. It's nice to tackle deep issues without allowing them to stifle you.

I think far too often people have a very limited view of life, so when life rightfully holds up a mirror to them and shows them a view they never considered, they can't compute.
Very few will take that new information and apply it, but most won't. They'll continue living in denial.

The sweet taste of kiwi with the balance of spicy smoked salmon jerky. Delicious.

One of my recurring themes this year has been pole. I've consistently taken classes since August 2022. I consider it self-care, not just physically but emotionally and mentally as well.
And through my journey, I've started to look at life from a pole lens. Here's what I learned this year.

So...my ahas from reading old spouts.
I came here and thought I'd just spout about #RealityTV or TV in general. And I did, a lot, but what I also did was share parts of me that I haven't shared anywhere else and, sometimes, with anyone else.

In one of my tech for Black women FB groups, someone posted an old picture of their grandfather and asked if anyone could retouch it for his funeral this weekend because the picture had some damage.
Someone came through with a beautiful retouch and I went to view the comments and to add mine.
