I hope everyone is well and that life is treating you kindly. It was an incredibly rough week that constantly got harder. Would have been easier if people had been willing to communicate rather than stringing me along, leaving me in the dark, and then blindsiding me. Even if the ultimate outcome would have been the same, I could have respected it if they had bothered to have an open and honest conversation with me about it or given me some kind of explanation. Instead, they chose the path of the cold, cruel, and heartless, which really sucks (and yet somehow thought we were still going to be all buddy-buddy not even an hour later after they pulled their stunt). This weekend was a pretty sad, hurtful, angry one, but I did get to have a bit of fun and happiness at my friend's baby shower. Would have been nice if I hadn't had that turbulent cloud hanging over my head to enjoy it more thoroughly, though. It's really sad some of the choices people can make, especially when you give them so many opportunities to choose a different path. Nothing can be done about it now, though; the damage has been done, and there's no going back.
The boys discussed things like Disney, the chaotic weather, trains, seasonal inflatables, and the like this week. They also started asking me about love and whether they would ever find it. The two of them were also excited for a 3-day weekend. I hope they can rest and relax.
Tsuki had a pretty chill week, full of rest and relaxation. She had fun snuggling up close, playing with paper, napping on her favorite chair, snoozing in her cat house, lounging on her window shelf, getting cozy with blankets and her bed, and engaging in all sorts of cat antics. Tsuki is such an adorable goof.
Artwork for the week included continuing the jumbo diamond art design of Tsuki (it takes up like the whole kitchen table):
This week I created more new content for Creativity Chronicles, so feel free to check out the newest content!
New Creativity Chronicles' content included:
No matter what life throws your way, be gentle with yourself. It's okay to cry. It's okay to be frustrated. It's okay to be angry. Your emotions are valid. Feel however you feel; it's okay. That said, take time to pause, reflect, regroup, and come back to the situation fresh if you need to. Even if others betray, blindside, and treat you horribly, you get to choose who you want to be. You get to decide how you respond; feel however you feel, but do your best not to regret your choices (hurt people often end up hurting people if they react blindly/rashly). It's valid to feel bitter, hurt, and angry after certain experiences, but that doesn't mean we have to act on them. It can feel quite justified to do so in the moment, but it can come back to bite us later. No matter what, just do your best; it'll be okay. It may be a long, hard road, but you'll be okay in the end. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and take care!
