Envy and being embarrassed about it. 100% I understand. I feel that in some ways too. But look at what you are doing and succeeding in. The pens are truly special, your wips speak to me and have helped me with growth and very thought provoking, the need to learn something new is back in me. That has been gone for a long time and I am relishing that adventure if wanting to learn again. Your morals are awesome and on point. I appreciate you being vulnerable. I have to remind myself sometimes I won't always be where I am. I went from no jobs to two and I am seeing the benefits where it really mayters. Food on the table, bills fully cought up, vehicle finally maintained. I wish I could spend it on things I want but I can't right now. I will soon though. Your amazing and thank you once again for an amazing chat. ♡
@diamondsandthoughts It's hardest to cut OURSELVES some slack. I know I am growing in leaps and bounds, but after years of addiction, there is still a ways to go.
I'm only at the 20:25 mark so apologies if you bring this up later in the video, but I feel like there's been a huge "commodification" of self-care by Instagram and TikTok influencers who are really just trying to sell products and promote consumption/capitalism under the pretense of it being "self-care", when it's just FOMO and hyper-consumerism.
Dude the anxiety is real right now. I literally haven't bit my nails in over 6 months and bam... two days they are yucky stubs again. All because I ran out of my stickers. So starting over.
Looking forward to that boundaries video.

@@diamondsandthoughts Thank you, gorgeous. You deserve all the good things headed your way!
I feel like self care is something that has to be learned and sometimes even tought. I had to be guided through therapy and learning my needs.

@diamond.dumpling I don't talk about that but it's a GREAT point

@@diamondsandthoughts I get my nails done so I DON'T bite them down to the nubs lol
@HouseOfMiscellania I didn't think I would cave and I did. I may try the gel stickers next because they are harder.
