- Overspending. Retail therapy's grip on me was super strong during quarantine, and it's been that way ever since.
- Overexplaining myself or explaining myself in general. "No" is a full and complete sentence.
- Overthinking. Easier said than done.
- Rude people. I simply do not have the energy to deal with them.
- Carbonated beverages, except ginger ale. That's poor folk's medicine so it's staying.
- Waiting for apologies I will never get.
- Unsupportive friends and family.
- Black gel. It's Eco-styler alllll the way.
- Contacts in my phone listed as "DO NOT ANSWER". IYKYK.
- Pastor Michael Todd's sexist sermons.
- Forcing myself to go to church on Sabbath or participate when I'm exhausted. I'll observe my day of rest at Bedside SDA.
- Vegetarian meat substitutes. They're very salty and they taste disgusting.
- Shooting my shot. It was fun for a minute, but I'll go back to being pursued.
- Complaining.
- Dwelling on the past. I want to live in the now.
- Unlocked social media accounts. This account will be as public as it gets.
- Comparison.
- People's opinions of me.
- Worrying.
- Doubt.
