My heart is so heavy.. my sweet boy, Mac, has passed away. Mac was loved so deeply by so many. He was my anchor, my guardian, my home. I’m so grateful for the 13 years he blessed my life with. He was the best damn dog and I know he meant a lot to so many that watched him grow up on the vlogs. He sends you all sloppy kisses and snuggles and I cannot thank you all enough for the love you’ve shown him throughout the years. Rest easy my love, and thank you for all of the adventures and love🩵

How did this little malnourished teeny tiny thing get to be so big already?!🥹 Little Koda @ 9 weeks when he was rescued, and Koda now at 14 weeks 🥹

My apartment in 2005 was $550 a month. With inflation, it should now be $930. I just looked it up, and It's currently $1700 a month. It's greed killing these kids, not avacado toast and Starbucks.

Just putting this here again because holy shit.

@JonPaula Ngl I didn’t think of mood boards, thank you for that! Thrift stores are definitely the best for shopping for clothes, so many gems. Just… need to not get overwhelmed by the options 😅

@pirategrayson Serious answer? You hire a stylist. If you consider your wardrobe to be an investment - it might be worth the money. 🤷‍♂️ The old fashioned way would be with mood boards and a shitload of trial and error. Try shopping at Good Will or Savers in a nicer neighborhood for cheap stuff.

How does one determine their style? When I look at clothes (and not get overwhelmed by the options), I want to dress so many different styles but want *my* style… like give me grunge chic boho punk goth mommy but make it chic and comfy. How does one build style? 😅

@codemiko The bestest angel boy, another bestest boy, and then the littlest best boy

I just wanted to show you the goodest boy. Can you show me your goodest baby <3 ?

If you suffer from depression and have friends who complain about you not answering them or even calling you a bad friend, send them this: (Their feelings are valid, but if they don’t understand or accept it, they might not be the right friend for you) It’s incredibly common for depression to cause social exhaustion, turning once-simple tasks like texting into major mental hurdles. Sometimes there’s multiple open DMs from friends and you feel overwhelmed and decide not to answer at all, leaving them on read for a long time. If you don’t communicate your struggles, they will not understand. Friends who do not understand mental health struggles may interpret this silence as ignoring them, when in reality, your "social battery" is completely empty. What to do? •I‘m low energy „I really love hearing from you, but I’ve been feeling extremely burned out lately and have no social energy left. It’s not personal, I just need time to recharge". •I struggle with depression „I’m struggling with depression a lot and one of the symptoms is that I’m having a hard time responding to people. I appreciate you reaching out, but please don't be offended if I'm silent, it’s nothing personal at all". It’s important to set boundaries. Don’t waste energy on constantly trying to explain your situation. Some people think friendship is daily texts and have you reaching out often too. Some people simply don’t understand or want to understand that mental health issues HIGHLY impact someone’s life. Reassure them once, twice, then let it go: „I know this is frustrating, but I am dealing with something serious right now and can't change how I'm acting."

I need me a Roronoa Zoro 😮‍💨

Thank you @activateangel for this beautiful emote 🥹❤️‍🩹🩵

It’s been 2 years without him by my side, and every day I miss him. Mac was my world. I can’t even begin to articulate all that I feel… I just miss him so much. Mac, thank you for all that you did for me and shown me throughout your life ❤️‍🩹
