Stranger Things dropped today! Ooh 😮 can’t wait! But alas I must be patient because life is happening. We’re planning to binge watch on Sunday and Monday though.
I’m powering through. Overthinking as usual. In a tremendous amount of physical pain. I’m wondering 💭 if the mental is once again causing the gut twist. My referral was delayed until 7/12. Ugh 😩. But all isn’t lost 😞. My friend GG helped me without even realizing. How? He shared a story about identical twins.
Paraphrasing, these boys were raised by an abusive father. Horrifying man. Sparing the gory details but overall very extreme.
When they grew up, one twin became a carbon copy of dear ole padre. The other twin became the polar opposite. They were interviewed and asked what’s your strongest influence in becoming who you are today? Can you guess their responses? Same! Daddy dearest.
So you see, we do have some sense of control. How we react to certain situations makes us or breaks us. I’m not only a product of my nature. Nurture has a place.
Maybe 🤔 like anything else, absolutes are rarely true. Not always or never 👎 Instead it depends. Mind blowing huh?
Okay 👌🏽. I’m trying to make myself feel better ❤️🩹. Surprisingly I feel strong 💪🏻. First time for everything.
Alright folks, that’s all she wrote.
As always more to come.
