I wish there was an app that worked kinda like spotify except with books,, like you could create a playlist of books with a specific theme/ aesthetic and it would give you suggestions for other books you might like
The feminine urge to not finish a book because I'm emotionally attached to it and don't want it to be over.
I took care of one of us last night.
Who felt that they couldnāt take it anymore.
Who felt that they couldnāt come back from the mistakes they made.
Who felt like they were all alone.
Who felt too much.
Or, worse, felt nothing at all.
.
Whose self inflicted injury was āobviously catastrophicā.
āObviously insurmountable.ā
āObviously unsurvivable.ā
All quotes from the neuro and trauma surgeons.
Although anyone with eyes knew the inevitable outcome.
Whose heart and lungs we nevertheless kept moving until the family could see our heroic efforts.

Please. Please.

There are people in your life that will wail at your bedside.
There are people youāve never met who will squeeze your hand and apologize to you that you got to this point.
Apologize for telling you this too late.
That you felt this was your only option.
Because on a small level Iāve understood you but I found my help and Iām fortunate that it works.
This is for anyone. In the medical profession or not.
Iām here.
Talk to me.
Rant to me.
Because I pronounced one of us last night nurblr and medblr and I have never felt such a loss.
*has one uncomfortable interaction* *is fucked up for 3 days*
My dreams are attainable and I will reach them. My dreams are attainable and I will reach them. My dreams are attainable and I will reach them. My dreams are attainable and I will reach them. My dreams are attainable and I will reach them. My dreams are attainable and I will reach them. My dreams are attainable and I will reach them. My dreams are attainable and I will reach them.
This is so funny both with and without context
I forgot to add the picture

The plan was to go to school and take a bridge program, LPN to BSN, but I can't get med school out of my head as an option. But idk maybe I couldn't hack it.
But maybe I could.

To all of my california friends who canāt miss fireflies because they havenāt ever seen them.
^ what? do they not have fireflies in CA??????????
Nope! They donāt really live west of the rockies.Ā The first time I saw them in Ohio, I thought I was hallucinating.
The fireflies were the most fantastic part of my first visit to America. I was with my BF and my roller derby team and we were in one of those yellow schooll buses being taken back from the tournament venue. I spotted some lights in the bushes and pointed it outā¦ then we all lost our minds!!! As it got darker we saw there were SO MANY! Our American hosts couldnāt believe how crazy we were for themā¦ but there is nothing even remotely like this in Scotland, it was like being in a fantasy movie or something. Iāll never forget them.
I love them so much! They come out part-way through my Speculative Fiction Writing Workshop (now taking applications! Pat Cadigan returns as special guest author this year!) each year, and itās such a joy to introduce these little delights to people from parts of the world where they canāt see them.
PS: In Minnesota, we called them ālightning bugs.ā
We had them in Norfolk, Virginia when I was a kid. Same time of year as the junebugs, but those are in the daytime.
Ok but imagine being an Irish immigrant coming to America for the first time having never heard of them and justā¦nope nope nope Donāt Go In Those Fields The Fairies Fucking Followed US I Thought We Would Be Free Of This Nonsense
LOL. I had never seen fireflies and always wondered what the fuck books were talking about when they talked about fireflies until I moved to Minnesota from California. It was wild.
I need to see fireflies one day.
Okay my medical peeps. What apps do you use for studying/education?
may 2018 be the year of clear skin, boundless laughter, cotton candy skies, sheer bliss, warm hugs, blossoming and thriving, self love, glossy lips, growth, celebrating small victories, healthy relationships, genuine smiles, flickering candles and fairy lights, emotional stability, peace, more positivity, softness and wholly healing.
