Living in “softness” is something many of us cannot afford, but should be able to experience, too.
Thank you for being here for the Something To Think About feature. These past sixteen weeks have been fun, informative, exciting, and hopeful. I appreciate your presence here at A Cornered Gurl, and I am grateful for each of you.
Have you gotten your copy of my new book: a collection of serial tales & flash fiction, Séduire (E-Book and Paperback) yet?
I recently signed up to write on Substack as well. Poking the Bear’s Belly for Fun is a place of healing as I speak about the most recent events with my place of employment as it pertains to racism and discrimination. I welcome your visit.

That would be the dream. Alas, it ain’t meant to be for many. But there is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience. 😉

It is a luxury/privilege, but I do wonder if sometimes we can make other choices, even if they’re small?

I try a bit more to do something just for me, and that allows me to enjoy that one thing for a bit – even if it’s for an hour or two. But, sometimes, I want to do just a bit more. And it’s so hard when you’re single and everythihng is on you. LOL. I just want to breathe and not have my breaths be labored most days. LOL!

I so badly want to live in softness like that! After my experiences at my last job, I just want to not work so much anymore. I have to and I will, but more softness would be great.

Amen. And I hear you. Trust me, I do. While I love what I do, I always love my actual jobs, I’m tired of working so much. I’m really tired. And there’s just me, always just me, so I have no time to sit in my tiredness and just be.

Yes!!! At my new job, my retirement age is 65. My husband asked if I was going to work until then, I said absolutely not! Hopefully, if I can get a decent writing career going I can stop working an 8-5 job before I’m 50. I so badly just want to stay home and write.

I still so badly want to stay home and write, but entrepreneurship is where I’d have to be for that to take place and I just cannot see myself taking all the risks and paying for and being responsible for everything and trying to be creative on top of all that, too?!
*Sighs*
C’est la vie.

We all deserve it, at least the opportunity to be able to live in “softness” if we choose but most of us can’t afford it.

Exactly. Sadly, that’s not the case for many of us. So we must take small moments in life that provide softness, but then we must go back to surviving for survival’s sake.
