I am sorry for being a bad dog

2025/1/21 Edited to

... Read moreLosing a pet is truly one of the hardest experiences, isn't it? When my beloved Maverick passed, my heart felt like it had a huge hole. He was such a character – always full of life, even if that meant a little mischief like biting playfully or, well, those occasional indoor 'potty' incidents! Anyone else have a pet like that? It's funny how even those 'naughty' moments become cherished memories when they're gone. I remember searching for ways to cope with the grief. Some people visit memorial sites, others create photo albums, but I found solace in a more unique way. The idea of deadpetmakeup really resonated with me. It’s not about being morbid, but rather a creative, often humorous, way to keep their spirit alive and even give them a 'voice' after they're gone. For Maverick, I imagined him sending messages from the great beyond, perhaps even a funny skit saying "sorry for always biting mom and being hard to take care." It's a way to process the love and the quirks, transforming sadness into something a little lighter, a little more celebratory of their unique personalities. Creating content like this, or even just thinking about it, can be incredibly therapeutic. It’s like, 'What would Maverick say if he could talk now?' Knowing his personality, he'd probably offer a cheeky apology for all his antics, then ask for a treat! This concept of pet remembrance, especially through personalized tributes, helps in healing. It’s a space where you can acknowledge the genuine bond you shared and the little things that made them, well, *them*. Sometimes, it's about remembering a 'girls dead dog' not just through tears, but through laughter too. The makeup aspect, for creators like Kynzie Sheffield (as I've seen in similar projects), adds another layer of artistic expression. It allows for a visual representation of these heartfelt messages. For me, it's about channeling that love and loss into something that honors Maverick, ensuring his memory isn't just about the goodbye, but about all the funny, sweet, and sometimes challenging moments we shared. Even thinking about 'makeup based on this' kind of concept can inspire a lot of creativity and personal reflection during a tough time. It truly helps turn sorrow into a beautiful, albeit quirky, tribute. RIP Maverick, you're always in my heart.

do you ever find yourself apologizing just for taking up space? i think we all do sometimes. but when you’re in the habit of feeling bad just for being, that translates into your subconscious sense of self-worth ❤️‍🩹 ☁️ just because you have burdens, doesn’t mean you are burdensome ☁️ just be

my whole life i defined consistency as perfection. if i slipped up, missed a day, made a mistake, then in my head i “broke my streak” and had to start all over again (which is super discouraging) but consistency isn’t doing everything exactly right every day. it’s about showing up to the table -

A screenshot of a text message conversation. The first message, from a father to Monique, announces the passing of his mother. Monique's reply expresses sorrow, asks about funeral preparations, and acknowledges her limited but caring relationship with her grandmother, ending with 'How are you feeling right now?'. An overlay asks, 'Am I being insensitive?'
Am I being insensitive?
My sister says that I am because I replied back and I could not say a lot because I was not close to my dad’s mom. So…. Am I being insensitive with my response to his text? #Lemon8Diary #Sensitive

The image displays the title slide for a post about 'Petty reasons I DNFed these popular Booktok series,' with an arrow pointing towards a stack of books.
The image features the book cover 'Heavenly Bodies' by Imani Erriu, alongside text explaining the book was DNF'd because the author used apostrophes instead of quotation marks for dialogue.
The image shows the book cover 'What Lies Beyond The Veil' by Harper L. Woods. The accompanying text describes DNFing due to a male character repeatedly calling the female character 'little one' despite being asked not to.
These books are bad, sorry not sorry
if i wanted to suffer through men calling women 'little one' i'd just open tinder. i mean, could i have powered through them? yeah. but did i instead throw the book across the room and go eat a snack instead? also yeah #books #booktok #BookReview #bookish #romantasy
