Agree on the accessibility! I recently told Avi I’ve started thinking of texts as answering machine messages. I’ll get back to them some time in the future. Most likely. 😉
Aaaand, I have been this close to reducing my subscription list on this app. But maybe I should just ease up on myself and read when I can. Thank you for saying it, and making it feel okay not to read everyone’s every entry. 😅
And choking...what a huge revelation you had! The time between getting the bone stuck and getting it released has to have been so frightening, especially for a kiddo! I’m so sorry that happened to you! ♥️
Thank you for all of this! And for reading when you do 🧡
I love that you will grant yourself some space to say no when you don't have the time or energy or (and this one is hard but totally necessary!!!) just don't want to 🧡
Grateful for you always and love the idea of texts being an answering machine. I am taking that moving forward, and borrowing this mindset.
Sorry to hear you got such a terrible fright when you were younger and the impact it has had L. The fright and fear of choking is not a nice thing at all, especially as a child.....those younger years are impactful that is for sure....good to write it out no matter what....and mind those robots driving up behind you...it's only a matter of time when they will probably be cooking our food too! #menolikey
Thank you, Lou! AND I KNOW! I returned to the restaurant and was careful not to say anything nasty in the robot's "ear" shot because when the time comes, I want to be spared haha 🧡
¡WOW! I feel a four-year-old's trauma (and her entire family's) just reading this. On a positive note: at least you have a clear source for the lifelong effects of your childhood trauma! 😁 Also, at first, when I read, "I have powered through dates," I was thinking of the food rather than romance. I guess that both have the potential for choking worries, the former physically, and the latter emotionally! 😂
Damn, that's some realisation! Maybe knowing the start could help in calming that fear and panic down? I dunno, not a therapist 🤷♂️ But I'm glad you're here and writing to us 🙂

I appreciated (and related to, right down to the water ambulance) your subtle use of island as a metaphor, solitary and detached.
Thank you so very much 🧡🧡🧡🧡
