We are spinning in circles

02/10/2026

This is something we all need to remember.

Society is reactive now, everything is instant, so people want an instant answer, instant gratification and they also have instant reactions.

STOP. 🛑 Remember when we cared about other people? How our actions affected them?
Remember when we had respect for people working at the store we shop at, the coffee shop, the drive thru?
Now, you see people flipping out in an instant because their chicken nuggets were cold, or heaven forbid the barista forgot to put the cold foam or whatever…
Instead of asking nicely for something, it’s instant flip out, and sometimes violence.
FOR WHAT?!
It’s shocking to me, because in my era, we just didn’t behave that way in society, the space we share with everyone else.
We had manners, we didn’t throw temper tantrums or abuse the service workers. We watched out for each other.
There was always the “one” in the neighborhood that behaved that way, and everyone steered clear. But now, it’s just normal. People whip their phones out to film.
No one cares: it’s all about themselves.
The empathy gap is getting wider and the more we accept this, the worse society will become.

What happens to society when there is a lack of empathy?
Just take a look at some parts of the world, and figure out what might be a huge issue.

Something that is innately in all of us, is snuffed out by main character syndrome and parents raising a bunch of sociopaths.

Treat others how you want to be treated.

Main character syndrome is becoming an illness

Is it just a pandemic of Narcissistic Personality Disorder? What’s happening?

Living through what feels like 2 completely different worlds, I have noticed the lack of empathy, accountability and more.
I write about this gap in society on my blog.

Remember to always remember who you are.

You have nothing to prove to anyone. If someone wants to be a part of your life, they will be present and not deflect their own inner demons onto you.

The little “tricks” we don’t realize that seem so innocuous but are considered “dark psychology”

01/10/2026

My first born moved out today.

She was born and my life changed.
I was only 20 years old, and the moment I laid eyes on her I made a promise:
“I promise to give you the life I never had. To love you the way I was never loved “
I kept that promise the best way I knew how.
I was a single mother by my 21st birthday, and she was my little sidekick.
I ate buttered noodles for dinner, and she got the chicken, veggies and good stuff. I was happy that way.
We lived in a tiny basement level apartment, with a small 13 inch tube tv, and her little fold out princess table.
She had a bedroom with everything she loved (her bed, her toys, her stuffies)
I worked jobs I could walk to because I didn’t have a car. I could only work when her Dad took her for the weekend, and worked from the moment I woke up on Friday after she was picked up until the moment I had to pick her up Sunday night.
We were good, as long as she had what she needed, I was fine.
She was the happiest little girl, she was always humming and singing ALWAYS. She didn’t know any struggles
She was loved, nurtured, and nothing else mattered.
She graduated high school with honors, she is now a nursing student on the Deans list and has a 3.9 GPA.
She met an awesome guy who just graduated college and has an amazing career he just started. Except it’s 3 hours away.
She decided to move with him. She is 21 now and her and I just shared the longest hugs and both cried and cried.
No one warns you as a parent about the pain but happiness, the bittersweet moments like this.
Letting go today has been the hardest thing, I know she is only 3 hours away, but our relationship has been so close, it’s tough for both of us.

Prepare yourself if you have little ones for the day they finally leave the nest. It’s a feeling I can’t explain, only those who have been there will get it.

Hug your kids today, spend every moment you can.

This feeling hits me every……single…. January.

It’s absolutely true no one really warns you about this. Sure people say “You blink and it’s over” but there is a deeper feeling than that.

To my parents out there that have children who are moving out for the first time, or hitting a milestone moving them closer away from that small child into adulthood.
I FEEL YOUR PAIN
It’s bittersweet.

To those without children who reflect and maybe have regrets, or look in the mirror and think “This was not what I had pictured for my life”
I FEEL YOUR PAIN

The inner child in us all is a beautiful thing, it’s there to remind us to enjoy what is important.

The phrase “enjoy the little things” is so powerful, it should just be “enjoy life and this crazy journey all of us are on together “

Happy 2026 everyone!

When we all face ourselves at the end of this journey, the last thing you want is regret.

No one is perfect, and that’s exactly how it should be. But…
To grow and be genuinely the unique individual you are, regular self reality checks are so important.

One of the hardest things a human can do is self reflect and accept their own faults.
