Don’t Step on My B***s Nights
(or: How My Senior Cats Turned Me Into My Own Grandmother)

Last night was one of those “don’t step on my b***s” nights.
Sounds kinky, right?
It’s not.
It’s just me, flat on the bed like a defeated bed potato, while the five ancient feline overlords treat my chest like their personal, slightly squishy landing pad.

Man alive, can those little paws turn into industrial-sized needles?

Yup. They can.

You gently request (read: beg) one paw to relocate, and the next one stomps down in the exact same sacred spot like it’s taking revenge for every can of cheap food I ever bought. I winch like a kicked puppy (I'd never hurt an animal). The bladder sends a polite “we’re next” memo.

No need to run away yet. This is not a lecture about old cats stepping on b***s and bladders. But maybe… just maybe… it’s a lesson.

A deep, somewhat painful, needle-sharp lesson of remembrance.

As a child, did you ever step on Mom or Dad’s feet and dance?
I did.

I remember it like yesterday. Mom had the “wireless” on, some old tune crackling through the air, and there I was, tiny feet planted on hers, dancing like a princess while she laughed through the pain. I looked up at her face, thinking how strong she looked. Never noticing the grey in her hair or the lines that had already lived through two wars.

Yeah, people… that was my gran. And I was small.
My idol. My whole world wrapped in one human.

Funny how life flips the script.

Now I’m the one hoping I get to be someone else’s world in one person.

Though I suspect they secretly wish I came with fewer sharp edges.
Tough luck. I was raised to be tough, brave; the softness came later, and only when I damn well chose it.

And here’s where my innate resistance kicks in hard: I have zero patience for humans who can’t (or won’t) “brain.” You know the type, the ones who seem to have skipped the part where you use the brain your daddy on the cloud gave you. The ones who never learned simple common sense or the revolutionary skill of observing before opening their damn mouths.

I have a sounding board for when those humans stop making sense. I don’t always agree with this person, but I know I’ll get the most brutally honest answer every time. You know… the kind where they gently remove your paw because you just stepped on a b**b (snort-laugh).

We all have an Achilles heel. Mine is stupidly simple: my animals in my care.

So when a single paw-pin from one of my old boys yanks me straight back into those fond memories of love and dancing on feet that were stronger than they looked, it hits different.

It reminds me that love often arrives wearing sharp edges and frail bodies, humming very old songs while still thinking you’re their entire world.

And maybe the real lesson is this: Use your brain.

Remember what it felt like to be small and safe on someone else’s feet.

Observe before you speak. Have a little common sense, for the love of all that is holy and unholy.

Because right now, looking at their purring faces, I am simultaneously four years old and ancient at the same time.

The cats don’t need me to dull my edges.

They just need me to stay strong enough to let them step where it hurts…and still smile through the wince.

That’s the dance.
That’s the Healing Evolution.
Some humans will never get it.

My cats already do.

Picture this: a tiny bottle sitting dead-center in a perfect bullseye of ripples.
Caption underneath in that calm-but-don’t-f**k-with-me font:
“My boundaries weren’t created to offend you.
They were created to honor me.”

Borrowed (okay, fine, stole) that gem from a friend who’s one of the few real ones left in a sea of performative plastic people. Dude doesn’t mince words, doesn’t post inspirational-quote carousels, just drops truth like it’s a live gr***de and walks away whistling.

Respect.

So let’s talk boundaries, shall we? Because everyone and their therapy-dog-wielding aunt is suddenly an expert on “boundaries” but half of them couldn’t identify one if it bit them on the ass.

What even is a boundary?

Can you spread it on toast?

Slap it on your partner’s thigh with a safe word and call it foreplay?
Snort-laugh, right?
Nah. It’s simpler and meaner than that.

It’s a border.

Countries have ’em (well, most do, some places it’s apparently a free-for-all yard sale where you just stroll in and help yourself to the good s**t, but we’re not doing geopolitics today, promise).

You’ve got your soft borders:

Youngen can watch Friends or Gilmore Girls… unless homework’s not done, then it’s “touch that remote and feel my wrath.”
Minecraft hours? Flexible. Depends on whether the math test is tomorrow or you’ve already turned into a redstone gremlin who hasn’t blinked in 14 hours.
Not bipolar. Not confusing. Just consequences with mood lighting.

Then you’ve got the hard ones.
Titanium.
Laser-grid.
“No” is a full sentence.
A complete paragraph if you’re slow on the uptake.
Or the classic warning shot: “If you do X, then Y happens, and trust me, you do NOT want Y.”

Clear. Concise. Non-negotiable.

But here’s the comedy special nobody asked for:
People LOVE to poke those borders.
Like children with sticks at a jellyfish washed up on the beach.
Poke poke poke.

“You said no, but maybe if I poke harder…”
Then boom, jellyfish mode activated.
You explode into a million razor shards, slicing everything in a five-foot radius, blood and feelings everywhere.

And the stunned faces staring back:
“WhAt DiD i DoOoOo?”

DUUUUDDDDEEEEE!!!

You crossed the fu***ng border patrol.
There were signs. Flashing lights. A literal “NO TRESPASSING - VIOLATORS WILL BE SHOT / LAUNCHED INTO THE VOID” billboard.
You ignored all of it, strolled right in like you own the airspace, then acted shocked when the galaxy’s immigration enforcement showed up with receipts.

Here’s the real gut-punch question I keep asking the boundary-violators, the pearl-clutchers, the “why can’t you just go with my flow” crowd: Why the hell don’t YOU have borders?
Why can’t you open your mouth and SAY what they are before s**t hits titanium?

Why do you wait until someone steps on the landmine, then cry about the explosion… instead of just planting the damn sign in the first place?

You want everyone else to read your mind, respect your invisible force field, tolerate your special snowflake nonsense, but you refuse to extend the same basic courtesy: “Hey, this is my line. Cross it and s**t gets spicy.”

Newsflash:
Every human is their own sovereign galaxy.
No visa-free entry.
No “but I identify as welcome here” loophole.
State your clearance codes or stay in orbit.
So next time someone gets all butt-hurt because your “no” had teeth…just point at the ripples around your little bottle and smile real sweet:

“Sorry, babe.
My boundaries weren’t built to offend you.
They were built to honor me.
Read the fu***ng plaque.”

PTSD.
Post-Trauma-Stress-Disorder.
(Or whatever polished name they gave it this year, I stopped caring.)

When we watch the movies, the “tell-me-a-vision,” they feed us the same script: only war veterans, kidnapping survivors, or people who’ve lived through hell on earth get to carry this.

But let me tell you what they never show.

I started rescuing cats in my twenties. The big 60 is breathing down my neck now. I don’t foster-and-adopt. I don’t TNR. I don’t feed ferals. I stand as the quiet last line for carefully chosen souls who have nowhere else left to go.

Picture this. Really feel it, don’t rush.

You get the call. This cat is the end of the road.

Physical wreck.

Integration nightmare.

Older than the mountains.

Or born the “wrong” colour that makes humans cross the street instead of offering a home.

You become their entire world.
You sit for days, weeks, until the terror in their eyes softens into something that almost looks like trust.
You learn every trigger.

You earn the bond if you’re lucky.

Years slide by.

Night after night, you climb out of a long, hot bath, and those same eyes are still watching from the bed, now frail, waiting for their old friend to come lie down.

You nursed the broken body back.

You never turned them into content for likes.

You just lived the quiet miracle with them.

Then one day the calendar doesn’t lie anymore...
You’re standing at that cold slab in the vet room again.
Deja vu slaps you so hard your knees almost buckle.

You have to stay calm.
You have to hold them.
You have to talk them gently over the bridge.

Thirty-plus years of this.

Each soul you bonded with.
Each “in the passage” goodbye.
Each blanket-hogger who became part of your hip.

Where does that PTS go?
I’m a therapist myself. I know the textbooks. I also know no session on earth can touch the depth of this particular fracture.

You stay strong for the house.
You let everyone else cry.
And inside, you wonder, do they ever see how wide the crack has become?
Do they ever ask themselves how many more you can carry before the smile and the silent tears finally break?

This is trauma.
Deep, repeated, soul-level.

The kind you chose because you loved them enough to be the one holding them at the end.

So tell me…
Why isn’t this PTSD recognised the way it should be?
Why do we pretend only the loud wars count?

If you’re a rescuer carrying this weight in silence, you are not alone.
If you’re reading this and you finally understand why some of us disappear into ourselves after every goodbye — thank you for seeing.

This one’s for every last-line soul who’s ever stood at that slab and still showed up for the next one.

16/03/2026

We are not the same, and frankly, I don’t want to be.
I refuse to be the person who pumps out AI videos of animals in distress, fishing for likes in an echo chamber built on pain, hurt, and manufactured sorrow.

There’s already enough of that in day-to-day life. Enough bulls**t to keep us awake for weeks: memes about donkey carts because the world’s supposedly fu**ed if oil dries up, endless stress, anxiety, depression, and whatever fresh hell comes next.

This weekend reminded me how we once stood self-sufficient, borders sealed tight like Fort Knox, sought after like crown jewels. Now reduced to "scraps".

I wonder, are those mines quietly sold to the highest bidder? Is the sudden scream for “public ownership” just another way to flip privately held ones to the same foreign hands?
But that’s beside the point. There’s enough to keep us up for days, weeks, months. Stress-induced everything.

My thought this morning runs deeper than the who’s-who-in-the-zoo playing god with resources that never belonged to them in the first place; they belong to the Earth.

I don’t want to be like the rest: the ones posting “ah-shame” animal pics, or the long “I was a vet” sob stories that end in a product pitch. Have we really become this shallow, this blind to the same script with different faces?

I make noise about it constantly because I want you to see. I want you to step out of the chamber you’ve locked yourself in.

Truth again: I now watch any animal video with salt in hand. Yesterday’s “dogs get to choose their owner” tearjerker? A hoax. AI-generated. How fu***ng sad is that?

For someone like me, it plants doubt. Now every single animal post gets stalked like prey, approached with suspicion.

And it’s not just animals. How many “gurus” have we watched rise and fade with the same recycled lines?
Me? Still here. Still talking. Still saying my piece as best I can.

Honouring my authenticity. My voice. How I see this broken, beautiful world.

If that makes me the odd one out, so be it.

I’m not chasing the echo. I’m breaking it.

*NOT FOR THE SENSITIVE READER*

Once upon a time, there was a girl who looked at every stupid social rule and thought, “F**k that.”
Not quietly.
Not politely.
She hated them the way you hate a cage someone built around you while you were sleeping.

Freedom isn’t a nice word on a motivational poster.
It’s what it says on the tin: free. No strings. No fine print.
No “as long as you behave like a good little piece.”
So she chose it. Chose, to be free.

And the moment she did, the whole game looked different.
Life is a chessboard. They hand you your piece and recite the rules like gospel: The King is everything.
Protect him, or the game’s over. Sacrifice pawns by the dozen, throw knights under the bus, even burn the Queen if it buys him another turn. He’s the prize. He’s the point. Without him, none of it matters.

So the board turns into a fortress around one fragile bastard who can only shuffle one square at a time.

One. Fu***ng. Square.

Everyone else runs interference, pawns die in droves, rooks block like human shields, bishops slice from the shadows, all so His Majesty doesn’t have to risk getting his crown dented.
And we’re supposed to clap like he’s some conquering hero for not falling over.

Now look at the Queen.

She doesn’t shuffle.

She flies.

Any direction.

Any distance.

Straight through the center, diagonal gut-punch, sideways when it suits her. No one guards her because she doesn’t need it. She’s the one who actually ends games. She’s the one who makes the other side s**t themselves when she appears on a square they swore was safe.

So who’s really powerful?

The guy who needs a human wall just to breathe, or the woman who crosses the board like it’s her living room and nobody dares tell her to sit down?

Back when the world still made a kind of crooked sense, men were oaks, tall, rooted, the kind you could shelter under during a storm.
Women kept the rest from collapsing: the house, the kids, the hearts that got cracked open every day.

We moved like queens even then, covering every square while they pretended the crown made them untouchable. It wasn’t paradise.
Some kings used their one-square privilege to swing fists instead of reason. Some queens learned the hard way that stepping too far meant paying in blood or silence. But at least there was a raw honesty to it.

Now?
Now the kings are mostly brands in expensive suits.
Power players who talk big and hire bigger security details than sense. They can’t cross a lobby without three layers of meat shielding them from reality. They shuffle one careful square while assistants rewrite the news so it doesn’t bruise their ego.

They call it power.

I call it being too scared to play without a nanny.
And the queens who got sick of pretending one square was enough?

We moved.
We took the diagonals they said weren’t ladylike. We kept going when they called us bi***es, ball-breakers, too aggressive, too emotional, too much of everything. Because once you know what "free" tastes like, crawling back into a cage feels like choking.

Any tom-cat can play king for a day, strut across the table, knock s**t over, growl like the world owes him worship.
Then one queen gives him that look. One paw. And he’s off the board, tumbling, shocked that his little reign lasted all of five minutes.

Queens don’t need a day. Queens are queens. Full stop.

The dark part isn’t that some men hit.

It’s that too many still think physical size gives them the right to lock the board down when words fail. They’re terrified that a free queen proves their whole game is built on sand. So they swing.
They threaten. They lock doors. They whisper or scream that freedom has a price.

But here’s the part they hate most:
The board was never about protecting the king.
It was always about who had the guts to move like they were already free.

You don’t have to wait for permission.
You don’t have to stay small so someone else feels tall.
You can slide straight across the middle and watch the whole fragile setup wobble.
You can be the girl who said “f**k the rules” and then lived it.
And when enough queens remember that…

The kings start looking very small indeed.

Animal lover. Animal rescuer. Animal Activist.
Where do you fall, dear one?

Lend me your ears—old country saying, men and country-folk, hear this.

I fall in the Animal Activist bracket. My household thinks I'm the strangest creature walking the planet. Some who once called me friend now side-eye me hard. But in my world? I make perfect sense.

When I say Animal Activist, it's not just about the lives I help save, the loud posts, or the sideways glances. It's deeper. It's an inner look—a daily, unflinching mindfulness that asks:
Do my choices line up with what I claim to stand for?

I walk my talk because I have to look myself in the mirror every morning.
I research where my veggies are grown. I ask "ridiculous" questions at the farmers market (best fruit and veg ever, hands down). I dig into the chickens, the ostrich, the whole chain.

Conscious shopper isn't a label—it's a quiet inner commitment to not look away.
Here's my weird, unproven theory—hear me out:
The anger boiling in so many humans? I believe it starts with what we consume. The "don't-care" way animals are handled, the indifference baked into the flesh, the seedless fruits screaming lab-creation—no life force, no future. From childhood, we're fed that energy: anger without a name, numbness, don't-careness. It seeps in. It changes us from the inside out.

And don't get me started on the keyboard crusaders—the ones pounding out "Please God save them" or "Someone please save those poor animals" while their plate is piled with lip-smacking flesh from the very cruelty they're "praying" against.
Shut. The. F**k. Up.
(Deep breath. Inner look.)

Most of them aren't evil. They're just unaware. Blind to the disconnect. Mouths full of contradiction, hearts thinking they're pure.

Starting to make sense?
The backyard goat for milk, the home-grown veggies—those days are mostly gone. But my little patch is coming along. Slow. Stubborn. Alive. Every sprout is a small rebellion against the numbness.

And here's where the real healing lives:
Even the tiniest choices become mirrors for the soul.
Toothpaste. Roll-on. Shampoo.
Is it cruelty-free? Do you actually know—or do you just reach for the familiar and keep moving?
Next time you're in the supermarket, trolley in hand, pause.
Take that inner look.

Ask the one brutal, quiet question:
"Do I save them on one side... and torture them on the other?"
This isn't separate from healing.
This is healing.

It's mindfulness in motion. Awareness that educates the heart. Alignment that quiets the inner war.
When your outside matches your inside, the anger starts to lose its grip.

I can look in the mirror and say—without flinching:
I am an Animal Activist.

Who are you?

Men-o-pause?

Pet peeve unlocked: women whipping out the "men-o-pause card" like it's a VIP pass to be a raging banshee without consequences. "Sorry I just told your boss to shove his spreadsheet where the sun don't shine—it's the change!"

Bitch, please.

That bitch switch didn't magically install when estrogen ghosted. It was there the whole damn time, gathering dust while you played Good Girl in a-man's-world. You know—the one with songs written about it, because surviving it was that brutal?

We were out here in our 20s, biting tongues so hard they should've bled confetti, smiling through mansplaining, period disasters in white jeans, and "you're too emotional" lectures from dudes who cry when their sports team loses.

We swallowed it.

We nodded.

We "yes ma'amed" our way through the gauntlet because that's what it took to not get sidelined, fired, or labelled "difficult." Golden opportunities to speak up? We had 'em daily. We just chose survival over scorched earth.

Now estrogen dips and suddenly it's "time to say my say"?

Nah, honey—you missed the train. That was the 20s express. This is just the late-arrival edition where the brakes are shot and you're yelling out the window at full volume.

Teenage years were worse, hands down. First period? Face-exploding acne? Boys staring at your b***s like they'd never seen balloons? Confused bo**rs and ninja-sleeve shame? That was chaos on training wheels. This? This is just the adult version with better vocabulary and zero f***s left in the tank.

And the cherry on top?

Men explaining estrogen drops to us on FB and TikTok like they're suddenly board-certified gyno-gods. "Hey ladies, here's what your body's doing..." Bro, what do YOU know? You couldn't find a cl****is with Google Maps and a flashlight.

Sit down before you hurt yourself, mansplaining the one thing you'll never live through.

Women joking about "whispered changes" and "I'm so sick of everyone's s**t now"? Sweetie, you should've been sick of it in your 20s. But you played the game, wore the mask, collected the receipts. Now the mask's off and you're shocked, Pikachu-facing the backlog?

Bottom line, vagina-driven apparitions: don't treat men-o-pause like your belated diploma in Speaking Your Mind. You had scholarships in your youth—full rides in "say it now or regret it later." You deferred. Repeatedly.

I'm over here monkey-scratching-head like: why wait till the warranty's up to start the revolution? The fragile flowers are breeding unchecked, the excuses are multiplying, and half the internet thinks testosterone makes them experts on our insides.

Me? Still swinging. Still cheeky. Still loud.

But mostly? Still baffled at the delayed fuse.

Who's with the outside view, scratching heads and laughing our asses off?

04/03/2026

They slap “divergent” on me like it’s polite camouflage.

Truth? Most call me difficult, sideways, full of s**t, weird, strange, impossible, abrasive… pick your poison. That’s not me being broken—that’s their herd lens cracking when I refuse to graze in line. Safety in numbers? Cute myth.
Wrong.
Outspoken to a fault. Constantly told “tone it down,” “be less YOU,” “fit the damn mold already.” If you’ve heard that chorus too, congratulations—you’re in the Selectivity Club. Membership: small. Perks: solitude, clarity, zero illusions.
The real ones never fit, because their consciousness was wired too wide for the herd socket. Madame Curie let invisible fire eat her bones alive just so humanity could see what fear kept hidden—while the polite ones clutched pearls and whispered “witch.” Galileo got chained to a chair for daring to tell the stars they didn’t spin around our tiny egos; his mind kept mapping infinity even when his body couldn’t move. Tesla? He chased lightning through his own veins, scribbling free-energy dreams on napkins while sleeping with pigeons in a cheap hotel room, because the money-men couldn’t bottle what his soul already knew—and he chose the pigeons over their cages every single time.

They all died poorer in gold, richer in the raw expansion of what a human can actually become—called mad, dangerous, heretics, impossible. Ring any bells lately?

That skin they keep handing you? It’ll never zip up right. Why? Because you weren’t built for the flock. You don’t crave the warm blanket of “happy ever after” fairy tales religion sells to keep the average human from staring too long at the void.
Worship? (All I hear is whoreship—snort laugh every damn time.) Groupthink comfort food. Science shrugs: no hard proof consciousness survives the last breath. Belief is optional. I opted out.

Look at today’s proof walking: Elon Musk. Blunt, truth-seeking, rarely “liked,” constantly attacked—yet authentic down to the bone. One divergent soul can bend the arc when the herd’s busy circling the drain.

That gives me hope.

Should give you some too.

Me? I’m not liked. Never have been, probably never will be. And I’ve stopped pretending I care. I don’t need the whoreship brigade’s approval. My internal gauges have never lied to me—yours probably haven’t either, if you’d shut out the noise for ten seconds.

So here’s the quiet dare: think for yourself. Not for two seconds—for longer than the herd’s attention span.

Question the cliff they’re all trotting toward.
Maybe even step off the path.
What do you say? Still grazing… or ready to run your own direction?

03/03/2026

I was born to be a theoretical mastermind, the kind history remembers for speaking truths no one wanted to hear.
Today’s scheduled post has been sidelined. Instead, I’m vomiting this truth again—because apparently the universe demands I repeat it until someone actually listens.
Listening is a skill.
Hearing is the rarest one.
Hearing isn’t passive. It’s not nodding while your brain drafts your rebuttal. It’s cognitive presence + emotional investment + enough self-awareness to shut your own mouth and let the other person’s words land. It demands intelligence, EQ, alignment, and the willingness to sit in discomfort without immediately deflecting, justifying, or stealing the spotlight.
So here’s the million-dollar question I keep asking myself:
When—when—will humans finally realise they cannot actually hear?
In a world that never shuts up, what is truly required to be heard?
Because here’s the brutal simplicity I’ve observed: people don’t hear you because the moment your words threaten their comfort, they start talking. They hand you reasons, excuses, deflections—anything to remove the spotlight from their own behaviour. They squirm, they interrupt, they create noise.
And when you call it out? Suddenly you’re the villain for “not giving them space to speak.”
Let me be crystal clear: I have no problem giving space. I have a problem with people who demand the floor before I’ve even finished my sentence, then wonder why they never feel truly heard.
If you want to be heard, you must first learn to listen.

That means:

State your need for uninterrupted space upfront.
Ask for objective feedback, not instant rebuttal.
Require emotional alignment, not performative nodding.

There are a thousand ways to ask someone to actually hear you.
Whether they do it or not is a choice.
And that choice is almost always avoidance dressed up as communication.
It’s a shadow screaming in their ear, trying to show them something vital—while they keep the volume turned up on their own noise so they never have to face it.
Because if they listened to the external voice… they might finally have to listen to the internal one.
And that, my friends, is the part they fear most.
Rant complete.
Now tell me—did you actually hear this, or are you already drafting your reply?

Children of all ages, lend me your ears.
Witch-smile here (healer until provoked). Salted Gen X, Monday fog still thick.

You can contour your face into whatever the scroll demands—goblin one minute, goddess the next.
But when the washing machine vomits water across the floor?
Deer in headlights. “Is this… supposed to happen?”

You can film yourself moving to the beat for strangers online.
But iron a shirt without scorching it? Cook vegetables that didn’t arrive pre-chopped in plastic? Sweep, feed the animals, keep track of bills, school runs, stain removal?
That’s filed under “ancient history.”

Feels get wounded hourly. Real pain gets laughed off with emojis; nonsense gets treated like a crisis.
You point fingers at elders for the state of the planet while your generation speed-orders everything in disposable packaging and calls it progress.

You lecture instead of listening.
Skills? Vanished. Supermarket meals beep “ready.” Button comes off? Shirt gets exiled to the wardrobe depths. Pleats need pressing? Laundromat or nothing.

The quiet hammer drop:

When the apps vanish, the grid stutters, phone dies, no tutorial, no delivery savior—what then?

You freeze?
Stare at a pile of dirty clothes like it’s an unsolvable riddle?
Stand there waiting for an update notification to save you?

We handled this because there was no other option. No nets. No excuses. We learned or we went without. Still here. Still draining machines. Still sewing on buttons without melting down.

The young ones now? Surrounded by easy outs. No sewing. No real cooking from scratch. No thinking required—just swipe, tap, consume.
Thirteen-year-old watching it all, absorbing that the fast way is the only way.
The no-hope feeling settles in heavy. This whole era starting to feel like a glitchy abomination.

Where do I punch my ticket before the next spin?
Write it in the will: “If reincarnation reboots, skip this server. It’s corrupted.”

Until then, the hammer keeps swinging.
Maybe one of them picks up a needle and realises the world doesn’t end when a thread snaps.

Maybe.

POV: Humanity Has No Idea What POV Means — A Live Autopsy

Welcome to today’s episode of
“Why Are Humans Like This?”

Let’s detonate the truth:

Somewhere, right now, a fully grown adult is hammering out “POV:” on a post with the intellectual conviction of a damp sponge.
No awareness.
No intention.
Just… letters.
Thrown like confetti at a wedding no one wanted to attend.

POV actually means Point. Of. View.

A perspective.
A vantage point.
A mental camera angle.

Not whatever spiritual diarrhoea someone coughed onto Facebook at 6:07AM while their coffee was still brewing.

But humanity — oh, humanity — saw this term trending
and collectively decided:

“Ah yes, POV.
It must mean:
‘I am about to say something basic but want to sound deep.’”

And off they went.

Allow me to demonstrate the decline of civilisation:

“POV: You’re healing ”
No, Jessica. You’re trauma-dumping into a filter.

“POV: My lunch today!”
That’s not a POV. That’s a sandwich.

“POV: The universe shows you signs.”
The universe is not responsible for your lack of boundaries.

“POV: My cat.”
Unless I AM the cat, this is just you bragging about your fur overlord again.

Here’s the part that twists the knife:

These people aren’t offering a point of view.

Who Are we?

About:

The demand for healing and coaching has risen dramatically over the last 20 years worldwide. In my search and education, I have not seen the two combined.

Here at Healing Evolution the aim is to heal from the past, understand setbacks, learn from experiences.
