I have to go back and reread last week’s letter! Now that I’ve switched to app notifications I miss so many posts. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this.
Anywho...I love this letter! I am someone who places other people’s feelings ahead of my own. And I’ve worried if someone would be okay without me multiple times. Someone once told me that it’s an ego based action. That stung for a second but then I realized, in my case, it was true. All that is to say, hooray for your decision!!
Also, hooray for fighting the illegal charge with your landlord!
I *totally* feel you on the ego based action, yes! I have felt that too, like who am I to say someone would be so hurt that I am working myself up this much over it?
Thank you for saying that as I know that feeling well but don't know if I knew the word ego was the one I was looking for.
"So I sit here feeling responsible for her happiness, which I am not." Pheeew, I need this written out and plastered everywhere!! It's something my therapist and I speak about a lot, about feeling responsible for other people's emotions/reactions/feelings, when all we are really in 'control' of is our own actions and what emotion they bring to us. So proud for you to read this piece and to arrive at the conclusion with you, wishing you happiness in your next move ❤️✨🚀
Thank you so so so much! I am glad this resonated with you, and appreciate you sharing this 💖 I need reminding constantly and there is comfort in knowing I am not alone in that.
However!!!!! I hear you on the plastering. Let's try this on throw cushions shall we? haha
Ingredients: 1 cup of flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown or coconut sugar, 1/3 cup choc chips (or filling of choice), 2 tbsp almond or oat or non dairy milk of choice, 2 tbsp oil of choice, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Method: combine all dry ingredients in a bowl then stir in wet to form a dough -- it will be dry at first so keep stirring 😊 then add extra milk if you need to.
Form one ball then put in fridge for 2 hours/until cold.
Once chilled, oven @ 325F. Form balls, place on greased tray, leave space between to spread. Bake 11 mins on center rack, let cool for 10 mins so they firm up. It makes about 11-14 cookies and last time I ate them in 24 hours haha ENJOY! 🍪

Appreciate you, as always! xoxo
From what I know of you, you’re a sweetheart. I don’t know if ego would be the word in your case like it is in mine. 😉❤️
So much love for you, thank you for saying that, though I am living proof the two traits can live in harmony 😉😉 haha 💖💖
