Hi, I’m John — 52, Gen X, still showing up, still caffeinated, still standing. I work in big data at a company you’ve probably heard of, unapologetically liberal, and 90% SFW (though I’d rather minors not be here).

DNI:

Minors, TERFs, racists, homophobes, transphobes, fatphobes, misogynists, anti-vaxxers, MAGA cultists, conspiracy and crypto bros, and anyone who thinks empathy is optional — get out.

I started this blog over a decade ago to track my weight loss and mental health. Fourteen years later, I’m still here, still working on both — just with more wisdom, better playlists, and a much healthier relationship with food.

Hi! I saw your review for Klara and the Sun in Book Recommendations and wanted to reach out. On Friday, I started another community called Our Tumblr Bookstore. It's designed to help fiction published/aspiring authors and readers engage with each other. As both a reader and author, I've seen how tricky it can be to find books that are a great fit for you as an individual. So, my hopes are that this will make it easier, giving book lovers a chance to outright say what they're looking for, letting authors connect them with works, and/or interact with authors to learn more about their stories. It'll also help out new authors who could easily get overshadowed by the fame of big names. Does this sound like something you'd be interested in?

Stop shaming people for their body count

Who cares how many people she's killed so long as you love her and she looks pretty with blood on her face.

How do you get over someone leaving you for someone else? The thought of them holding hands or kissing makes me sick. The thought of them having a future together and living the life I want devastates me. How do you stop thinking about them being together every moment of your day?

Hey friend 🫂🫂🫂

You don’t stop thinking about it overnight. Unfortunately, it lingers. But little by little, you stop thinking of them and start taking care of yourself.

You remind yourself that they didn’t choose you, and that’s not a reflection of your worth but of their limited capacity.

You let yourself grieve the version of the future you imagined while slowly building a new one that isn’t dependent on someone who didn’t stay.

And every time your mind drifts to what they might be doing, you gently pull it back to what you deserve: peace, growth, love that isn’t conditional or replaceable.

It takes time. But healing is the proof that you were always whole, even when you felt shattered.

I've been where you are, friend, and I promise it does get better eventually. Until then, I'm sending you love from Kansas.
