Vol. 45: To clarify

Some important info in this one.

“What possessed you to write a #PalCrushMonday from the perspective of the guy who ghosted you?”

This was a question I encountered this week.

To clarify, the guy who ghosted me (the infamous Chris) did indeed write last week’s #PalCrushMonday. We talked about the PCM and I sent him some of my favorite responses and then I told him he hurt my feelings and he promptly stopped texting me again.

So you can stop holding your breath! We will not be seeing each other again. Though I will miss that gorgeous loft.

The format:

• What I’m crushing (accomplishing, achieving, attaining, fulfilling, something that I am being successful at.)

• What is crushing me (see definition 3b, something that is bringing me down.)

• What I’m crushing on (admiring, adoring, appreciating, cherishing, favoriting, etc.)

What I’m crushing

I know I’ve written about this before, but I am crushing advocating myself and my needs! It’s an ongoing practice and I want to give myself credit for continuing.

Honoring my needs helps sharpen my intuition, which could always be sharper.

I am also working on ~manifesting~ my future by working on myself. When I turn to look toward myself, the universe turns to look toward me too. Or, that’s what a lady on Tik Tok said to me anyway.

What’s crushing me

MY ROOM.

It continues to a mess and a huge source of shame and completely overwhelming to tackle. My mom is coming to town soon and she’s going to help me make it a livable and relaxing space.

And maybe I’ll even get some shelves because my roommates have been begging me to for years.

What I’m crushing on

All of the hilarious and unbelievable responses to last week’s PCM.

Sending love to everyone except for Chris, who I am assuming will still read my newsletter even though that continues to be a weird thing for him to do!

See you next week for the One Year Anniversary of #MalCrushMonday!

xoxo,

Mal
