I LOVE LEARNING FROM LINKEDIN, THERE ARE SO MANY TALENTED AND INSPIRATIONAL INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO SHARE THEIR INSIGHT. I FORGET WHO THESE IMAGES ARE FROM BUT I IMAGINE THAT THE DR. WHO WROTE THESE WILL COME AFTER ME AND IN THAT INSTANCE. I’LL KNOW AND CAN CREDIT THEM AND SAY “I WISH WE HAD MET UNDER BETTER CIRCUMSTANCES BUT MEETING MAY HAVE NEVER HAPPENED HAD I NOT “STOLEN” YOUR IMAGES SO HERE WE ARE!”

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dear Diary,

I’m in my writers co working space and enjoying myself on this fine Saturday that was once morning and has now slowly transitioned into an equally peaceful afternoon.

The sun is out and beaming and it’s those few quintessential moments right before the heat becomes unbearable that I am enjoying right now — - cool and surprising, unexpected soft breezes kiss the back of my neck and my ankles.

So pertaining to the images above, I learned or rather, was reminded of what my therapist Paris used to always emphasize in our sessions. You cannot get all your needs met from just one person generally speaking and to remedy this Paris explained that she would categorize her friends into areas such as high energy, low energy just to name two examples and she knew when she would hang out with her high energy friends she would get her dose of invigorating activities like hiking in nature or rock climbing, surfing… and her low energy friends, some music sessions and maybe a thoughtful dinner and conversation. But to expect low impact activities from her high energy friends would prove to be counterintuitive. Which is what I was always guilty of doing. Whenever I had a boyfriend that one boyfriend was expected to satisfy all areas of my life that were lacking. That’s a lot of pressure on some one person. And I still am guilty of doing that for my best friend — - I call her for everything and always walk away I unsatisfied or get left wondering why I didn’t feel any better or worse, why did I feel worse?

More notes from an unknown source who remains unknown due to it being entirely my fault. But it does say in one image a name: Shasta, Doctor Shasta does ring a bell….

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Anyway, I’m very excited for Monday because I have a week long class, full tuition paid and all I’m asked to do is take what I learned and pay it forward.

I’m going to check in to my coworking collective now and tell them my progress. But I guess I’m done journaling for today. It’s time for me to get on with work and hopefully this has been healing enough to set me up for a great day of productivity. Lest I check Facebook messenger first and then go into a frenzy of responding to messages that don’t show me the money 🤑

I leave you with some more images. A thought provoking quote and a silly screenshot to emphasize the joys of friendships.

Signed Sincerely,

Someone.
