It’s my last week of mental health leave. I’ve been away from Neurosurgery for two months.

I am more relaxed but I’m dreading going back to a toxic work environment.

I love the pay & benefits, as it affords me to pursue my art hustle, but I don’t think I want to do this anymore. #Tips4Teens

I’ve been trying, even in the face of ridiculous adversity, to stop complaining.

How am I doing this?

When I see something I love, writing/word I agree with, see creativity in action — I tell the person responsible for that act of love & joy … and that I see them.

“I love that!” Or “Yes! All of this!” could really turn a person’s day around. Think about that when you step out in this less than perfect world today.

🥵 Must I “hot girl” strut everywhere I roam? #Tips4Teens

As long as she’s happy.

But you understand now when I occasionally mention (usually when being attacked by somebody unhinged online) that I fought for everything I have & have achieved.

It’s not a struggle. It’s a bare-knuckle brawl fight. #Tips4Teens
