Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Space is cold. Put a sweater on. Also remember to take your medications and hydrate. Also unclench your jaw and don't forget to put lotion on that dry patch before it itches you all night tonight. emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon, pill, water cup, lotion bottle 3:09 PM · May 14, 2024

Hello! I just want to say thank you for being patient with people, especially those going through a problem and just want advice.

I feel like everytime someone asks for help, they are immediately scolded

Again, thank you ♥️

See, I never understood that mindset. If someone's having a problem, or needs advice, being a dick isn't going to help.

Everyone needs a bit of advice every now and then. I've circled the sun more than a few times, and have picked up a few things. Some I learned from others. Some I lived and maybe suffered through myself. If I can give some advice and maybe a bit of been there done that experience, I'm happy to.

It's a hard world, and there are enough people out there eager to be assholes and put others down to feel powerful. I have no patience for that.

Do no harm, but take no bull.

We all feel weak sometimes, and it's always good to have someone you can lean on. And if I can offer a shoulder to someone who needs it, then bring it in. I'll pat your head and squeeze your hand and tell you the way I see things. Sometimes that outsider's perspective is helpful.

Thank you and take care! 💜

I can't even today man I can't even. I'm sitting here trying to think of how I want to write a post for the tarot thingy that I am working on and here comes my two-year-old daughter screaming hysterically. Her name is Luna Lilith and she's pointing her finger at me yelling something. I am looking for blood, or broken bones or anything that could be ailing this toddler. All I understand is "rsdhdjdjdjwosisj (like the little boy Donnie from the wild thornberries) and get it."

She stares right up into my face as close as she can get pointing with her finger right to my eye. I flinch cuz she too damn close. And then she says "booger."

All that screaming, scaring the s*** out of me, she almost put the damn booger in my eye.

Laughing hysterically, she says "get it, haha mom."

Just had a booger on her finger, that's it. LMAO rofl

Introduction

It’s very difficult in this day and age to go through an experience and not compare yourself to those you see online. Social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook all have influencers who show you their lives through rose colored glasses - or should I say a rose colored phone screen. It’s extremely easy to get sucked into that infinite scroll, your thumb flicking through video after video as your mind wonders on how in the world a normal person could keep up with a lifestyle shown.

As a 23 year old women who recently became a mother, I have found myself mindlessly scrolling and watching. Watching videos of mother’s showing how they’re going back to work after 6 weeks and how sad they are. Watching videos of mother’s who seem to be blessed by the Lord and have an infinite supply of breast milk, seemingly like they could pump for their whole neighborhood. Watching videos of mother’s staying home with their baby and getting so much done around the house. Watching those videos, it always had me comparing myself to what I was viewing. It left me feeling worthless, like I’m not enough if I couldn’t do what those mother’s could do. Though knowing that most of those videos must be fake, it’s hard to even imagine there are women going through the same things I am. Those videos make me think I am all alone, that no body knows my struggles or even my successes.

The space I want to create is a place of haven. A place to get away from all of the fakeness of those social media influencers . A place to be real with one another!

The point I would like to try to express to everyone reading is that I am 100% real. All of my opinions, stories, and experiences are real.

Transparency should be one of the biggest things in the “mom” community and that has been lost. I hope to inspire more people to step away from comparing themselves to those mother’s in the videos, and realize that they are not as perfect as they seem. Everyone is human, even moms.

So I guess the post I made about my daughter going to get her assessment in pre-K early pre-K night I had did not go as I expected it we met after they compiled their data from their meeting with Penny, and she is now being switched and being put on an IEP, she won’t be in the same classroom that she wants was and I am Feeling like a failure as a mother and I know that the things that she needs work on are things that we continually work on at home and see progress on and she is a very shy kid. They did note that and so the teacher that has her now even mentioned starting her over she just now in the middle of the school year has started to open up in that classroom, and I just feel like moving to a new classroom. She will be even further behind, but I have faith that things will go well, even though my car’s transmission just went out along with his windshield wipers I know that’s a weird combination and I’m struggling to afford things, but  i’m hoping that just staying positive will be enough to get us through this because she is a very smart child, and a very independent child for only being three years old. She has such an old soul and is so full of laughter and positivity. I don’t know where I’m going with us, but I just needed to vent so thank you for listening.

Buy the gallon. Have reusable freezer-safe containers that hold no more than a pint. Divide between containers, label with the date you’re doing this and freeze. Except for one container. When you finish that first one, move one from freezer to fridge. Repeat.

When on last container, buy another gallon and start again.

adult hood is just

*buys a half gallon of milk* *uses it all within a few days* *decided to buy a gallon of milk to not run out before next shopping trip* *uses a teaspoon of milk that week and it goes bad somehow* *buys a quart of milk instead so it won’t go bad* *uses it in one day* *buys a quart and a half gallon of milk because the gallon was too much but the half gallon was not enough* *only uses the half gallon* *gives up on milk for a few days in general* *buys a gallon of milk again just to tempt fate* *somehow uses all of it without realizing and then has to eat sad cereal with like the 5 drops of remaining milk*

Doctor Beverly Crusher @SpaceDocMom Remember to take your meds, wear a sweater or sunscreen as needed, mask up in your still-ongoing pandemic, and give yourself a thorough stretch before starting your revolution. Don't risk a cramp on the march! Oh, and go to the toilet before you head out! emojis: black heart, blue heart, masked, spoon 5:58 PM · Nov 9, 2024

Unsolicited Mom /Grandma advice on Laundry.

Stop beating yourself up if you didn’t fold and put your laundry away! No one cares and you don’t have to. If you live out of baskets or even the dryer you are doing great. Give yourself a high five and kudos to you. That’s a huge accomplishment! Also it’s ok to wear clothes a couple times before washing them if you are not sweating in them profusely. Be kinder to yourself. Spray Fabreeze on that shirt. It’s all good.

Might be a strange question to ask, but as someone who's been a resident lurker of your fics and attempting to get back into writing, do you have any advice for where to start with getting back into it? Or any writing tips in general?

As someone who goes through her own cycles of "my fingers can't keep up with all the writing I'm doing" and "don't wannaaaaaa", I get you. If you've gotten out of the habit of writing regularly, it can be hard to get yourself back into the groove.

What I like to do is start small. A little bitty bit of an idea, and see where it takes me. Sometimes it's barely 800 words, and sometimes I get the mojo flowing and knock out a few thousand.

But you gotta start. Take an idea you've had and just start playing with it. Take a fic you've read recently that's stuck with you and write a continuation, or from a different character's pov. (Maybe check with the author first, though!) Or just take your favorite character and put them in some situation--silly, angsty, comforting, whatever.

As for general writing tips, gah, there have been much more qualified people write a whole buncha words for that. But if you're curious about anything specific, ask and I'll let you know how I handle it.

Thanks for reading my fics, I appreciate you! And good luck getting back into it. 💜

There is something my mom told me today that I stuck with me and Idk who also needs to hear it but here!

Those who cares for you and wants you, wouldn’t let anything come between you. While those who don’t, they would let anything come between you.

And that kinda helps me somewhat and I thought I should share it in case it may help anyone else :3
