thanks a lot for giving ‘behind bars’ a chance and voting. i truly appreciate it :)

I just finished reading You’d Be Home Now by Kathleen Glasgow in one sitting starting at 1:30 am, and I know it’s not my target audiences book most likely, but I think everyone should read it. She humanizes the opioid crisis in a way I’ve never seen before, and even articulates how hard it is to be someone loving someone with a substance abuse disorder. I have been on that side of substance abuse my whole life, trying to balance loving the people who have disorders while also doing everything I can for healthy boundaries. If you read this far, please consider reading it bevause we need to end the stigma of addiction to help people 

I feel bad I used to love writing, it made me super happy and now I haven’t updated in months and I have an assignment due in a day that’s a 1500 word short story that I can’t think of anything to write for, and I’m an engineering major so creative writing is out the window after this 

Hey y’all, I think I’m going to reread all of the Hunger Games books before I update again because it’s been a while and I want to match the universe right 

Aye, I uh, fell on my back today because I slipped on ice trying to get my dog after he ran out on me. I’m possibly going to write while I lay uselessly because moving hurts. Take your time walking on ice because man even though I’ve lived in Upstate NY my whole life, sometimes I overestimate my abilities on ice and Mother Nature checks me

We cannot let what happened on January 6th be forgotten, and we cannot allow the life of the police officer who was brutally attacked, and lost his life. I believe there is police brutality, and we must advance police accountability, but we also cannot devalue the life of someone who lost their life attempting to defend our country (for people in the US). Do not let a life be devalued because of their choice of occupation. Do not forget what happened January 6th.

Hey buds, 
          I’m really sucky lately and I’m really sorry for that. I’ve been feeling slightly off and found crocheting has helped me feel slightly less bad about myself and have spent a lot of time doing that. I’ve just kind of felt sad lately, and I don’t want to write sad. I’m sad and sick (not Covid- just likely a cyst again) so I’m just not feeling it. 
          Thank you all for being patient, 
          Brinley

As an American, I am in shock. I was naive before now and thought this country was better than it has proven to be today. I thought this was just a small amount of people we could sweep under the rug, but we can’t. My thoughts go out to anyone in Washington D.C. right now as our country struggles to deal with the aftermath. This is not forever, and we can fix this. 

I’m kind of burnt out from writing Hunger Games because that’s all I ever write and I’m writing about younger people but I’ve seen from trying to branch into older stuff that isn’t hunger games nobody reads it and I like having readers and interacting with them. I don’t know, I’m bummed because I’m evolving but I know everyone who follows me only reads my hunger games fanfics. 

Thanks for reading and voting on offside!
