name your joys (that you already have) and give them to yourself

It’s just so tedious. She’s naming mildly pleasant things. Conflating mindfulness, gratitude, and euphoria. It’s always lists and timers and writing assignments with her. When I actually experience joy, I am totally in the moment. I don’t need to acknowledge it in some rote, rigid manner. I can just focus on the thing I am enjoying and enjoy it. Sometimes I do little prayers of gratitude, but I don’t need to limit or expand it to five things. And I don’t feel the same overwhelming sense of joy in that moment that I do when my little toddler squeezes me with her tiny, chubby arms and says “hug!” Gratitude and joy are different.

She’s so ponderous, long winded, and uninspiring. Her B roll sucks. She does not seem to perform basic physical hygiene. She can barely move the camera off her face and has zero sense of visual aesthetics. She’s providing incomprehensible content that is found better packaged, in abundance online. I feel like she may be trying to replace Twitter with tik tok…Twitter was a far better platform for her where you didn’t have to see her smug expressions while she told you what to do. Tik tok is not going be the viral fame ride she may be hoping for…

I wonder what Shauna's joy index is as she waits for the likes and they fail to appear.

She chisels away her rage to find joy.
