The fun thing about social media is you can be mindlessly scrolling it and stumble upon a tweet that not only perfectly encapsulates you, but also perfectly encapsulates an experience you had not 24 hours earlier.
I’m dog sitting for a month and I’m genuinely put out over how much better *I* feel now that I’m taking five to ten minute walks four or five times a day.
#HistoryTwitter do you know of any other archives like Portal to Texas History? An archive that helps small museums/historical societies digitize their collection and make them publicly available. I’m trying to make a list.
During my Peace Corps interview, the recruiter asked me how I handle boredom and I stared at her and awkwardly said, “I don’t get bored, I just start telling myself stories in my head,” and that’s when I learned not everyone does this.
Because my dress has giant pockets large enough to hold several cannonballs, much less the phone & Kindle I want for the plane, I shoved my purse in my suitcase rather than carry it. I left my hotel 45 minutes ago and have thought I’ve lost my purse at least 13 times so far.
A bad job or a toxic boss is so demoralizing because it takes up so much of your life. I spent all my time either at work or dreading having to go back to work, and I felt like I was trapped in this awful situation and I would never escape.
