Little Boop #648: Pain
What’s the most pain you’ve been in that wasn’t physical?
I felt the pain in my chest when I read the question, but I am trying to tie it to a memory. I know I recorded a video on my phone that day.
October 17th, 2022. I don’t know what exactly was going on that day, but I had reached my breaking point. The most pain I had felt was in heartbreak and despair. I did not understand how I could be doing everything “right” on paper and still be feeling a way and be struggling. I just wanted to be happy.

Little Boop #647: really really?
How am I, really?
Anytime anyone asks me this question, I say “fine.”
Biggest lie ever told
How am I, really?? Like, right now.
I am hopeful for the future and panicky at the same time. I am happy to be here and am ready to make my impact known. I am discouraged in my romantic love life, but thriving in my platonic and family relationships.
How am I?
I am better.

Little Boop #646: 70 hours
I put working a 70 hour work week on my April Bingo card. 45 hours is the most I worked any give week. We will add that to the May card.
Little Boop #645: Countdown
Officially 3 more weeks until I can transition to hybrid/remote status at work. I am so excited to save money on lunch and time on the commute.
Little Boop #644: hair did
My microlocs are officially complete! I am happy to be back part of the loc gang. I will most likely take the extensions out in November at the latest.
Little Boop #643: Thought
I am going to get the “We aren’t really strangers” cards and start doing those and another reflection questions as my boops starting in May.
Little Boop #642: Bigo
I don’t know if you have heard of the app, but this is where I will be going live instead of Twitch and Youtube. I don’t quite understand it yet, but there is an opportunity for a lot of different exposure.
Little Boop #641: Big things poppin
Met with my mentor last week. I am feeling good about what is coming next for the Zen Den.
Little Boop #640: realignment
I love how the women in my life pour into me. I really be messed up over these dudes, but my ladies get me back right. There is nothing wrong with me. Shout out to Shiya for the screenshot and Youtube video. Even though you sent it last week, I am still going back to it.
Little Boop #639: Male Gaze
I appreciate you telling me that I am cute. I know I’m cute. You telling me all of the things you want to do to me is not flattering. It makes me feel like a piece of meat. I am more than what you see superficially. Though I do enjoy the D, but dudes give me the ick sometimes. I understand why Doechii said straight guys are a RED FLAG.
Little Boop #638: Data
It is so crazy how much we use data. I tried to downgrade to a 5 GB plan for my phone and it didn’t even last 2 days. My phone usage for the day is less than 4 hours. My mind is so blown. I thought that the WiFI at work and my house would support me in my downsize but clearly me being in on my phone in between work and home is a problem. Or I just need to keep my unlimited plan. So much for saving $15 a month.
Little Boop #637: roles
Sometimes I feel like I was put here to be a helper. I love seeing people reaching their potential.
Little Boop #636: stride
I feel like I finally have my grove at work and my Zen Den. Life is good.
Little Boop #635: did it
I have officially restarted my loc journey. The install is complete.
Little Boop #631: Slim Thick
I am finally under 200 pounds. CLAP
I haven’t been under 200 pounds since I moved back from Houston.
Never buying Toothpaste again
I was one of the people who scwuzz…squeezed… if this were in person I would said scwuzz.
I was the one to squeeze from the middle and then smooth out the tube when I’m finished brushing.
Wasteful, is what the tube is. And you can never get all of the toothpaste past.
That alongside me being obsessed with glass and lowering my waste, I jumped on the tablet toothpaste movement.
The first brand I’m trying is Bite.
The jar is super cute. Nice thick glass. I bought two of each Type that they offered.
The regular one taste better, but my mouth feels more clean when I use the charcoal.
Did I need to buy two of each for a sample?
No
Will I use these glasses no matter what brand I decide to stick with?
Yes
I don’t think I will ever go back to regular old tube toothpaste.
Price: sticker shock it if you do the math it is actually about the same. Annnnnnnd you get nice glass jars.
They do have refill options, but instead of doing refills I’m going to try other brands that have a lower sticker price. I will definitely report back.
Bite is great. It makes my teeth look and feel clean. I’m not squeezing tubes and wasting toothpaste.
Little Boop #630: Laundry
I used to do laundry in my building, but the laundromat is so much easier. I can put everything in at the same time. Wash at once, dr at once. and fold. No matter how many clothes I have it will only ever take me 2 hours tops.
