The mind has a dumb sense of vast loss - that is all. It will take mind and memory months and possibly years to gather the details and thus learn and know the whole extent of the loss.

We’re all so emotionally damaged from this last year and a half that Steve from Blue’s Clues was like “I have to address the nation”

Anyone else just bawl while holding their sleeping child? I’m just OvErWhElMeD with love for this brand new person and my body literally cannot contain it.

3 weeks postpartum and today I wore my jeans AND my wedding ring. It’s the little things, y’all.

I measure my life in moments of before and after. Did that event happen before mom died or after. Did she know that xy or z happened or was she left out of the joy.

I wonder how long this goes on. It’s been almost 3 years.

I’m all for Texas being independent and sassy and all “we don’t need no government regulations for energy” until my people are freezing in their homes.

Stay safe, warm, and take care of each other, Texas.

My great aunt died today. She was 95 and lived a remarkable life. I know that my mother is thrilled that she’s home.

Rest well, beloveds.

Also I misspelled hygiene and I literally don’t even care because it’s that important to not give plants to people when people die.

Also also, flowers. Stop it. They die too and it’s a whole other weird grief thing when you throw them out.

[Lydia Nichols @LydiaONichols]

Someday I’m going to write a memoir about my dead mom and it’s going to be called “Don’t Give Plants When People Die”

BECAUSE when I accidentally murder my dead mom orchid 2 years later (because North Carolina is not humid enough) I will never throw it out.

I married the right guy.

Josh bought a Baptist Catechism to use with our future kiddos. Love love love.

@RocoClutchPro 🤷🏻‍♀️I saved tips for a long time and budgeted. My husband and I aren’t rich by any means, we are abundantly boring and budget like crazy people.

I just went from an iPhone 7 to an 11 and I low key hate Face ID to open my phone.

My fingerprints didn’t have to wear a mask. Now I just have to put in my code EVERY SINGLE TIME.

First world problems, I know. 🙃
