Rita

My best friend and true love died yesterday. He held my hand the entire time at the vet and ate ice cream till the last moment. My heart is shattered. Goodbye, my love. 💔

No Substack article today. I'm too sad to function. 💔

All the coffee shops are gone!!! Help! open.substack.com/pub/ritareeetu…

It's a good morning. I'm starting a month long intensive treatment program for trauma. I'm excited! ✨👍☺️👍✨

I think my Chamomile Tea contains chloroform. I'm surprised I can crawl to the bed after just half a cup.

@DonaldD22819096 Oh, Donald. You're always just the sweetest. ✨☺️✨

@reeetums Rita you are an essential spirit freeing others so that they too might know unbound joy and release.

Just writing about horses soothed my soul. If you enjoy this article, please share it around. I hope you have a lovely day! 🐎 open.substack.com/pub/ritareeetu…

@TheBeckyBecksss Awwwww, thanks very much for sharing! ❤️☺️❤️

Lovely…🙏🏽🤎🤎🤎❤️

@Acc_Ferryist Oh, wow! Awesome! ✨☺️❤️

@reeetums Gone With the Wind. I had never before read a book that made me cry!

What's a book that ignited your love for literature? I fell in love with classics after reading Great Expectations as a teenager. ❤️📚☺️📚❤️

@Di58dri Thanks very much! ☺️

@reeetums Good read 📖

I've always got my nose in a book!

@EdgeOfInsane63 Terrible. But hanging in there. I really appreciate you checking up on me. Very kind. ❤️

@reeetums How are you doing. If I recall correctly you finished your treatment?

16 year old me: I know how to get all the boys to like me....I'll learn all the Chopin Nocturnes on the piano! (Narrator: Alas, her efforts were not successful and her peers just thought she was extra weird.)

@MitchellDHadley ✨☺️👍

@reeetums I'm so glad to hear that! 🎹You're meant to do things like that, wherever it takes you.

@LarryKellogg Yes! Music is a great friend! ✨☺️✨

@reeetums Join ToneBase piano. Nobody on there will think that you’re weird for learning the Chopin Nocturnes. The level of playing is high. I just listen in. After my current piano teacher ghosted me, I just found a new teacher. I’m happy about that. Music is a great friend.

@Mahler18601911 Oh, I'll check it out thanks! ✨☺️✨

@reeetums Thank you. Here's Part 1 of my article for The Falstaff Journal on Substack. "Mahler's Bohemian Roots." open.substack.com/pub/falstaffjo…

@ChaoticallyWrit Awesome! ❤️☺️✨👍

@reeetums That’s the only type of weird that’s acceptable…extra…👍

@BichonFriseM @peterjones0 Awww, thanks for sharing! ✨❤️☺️❤️✨

@peterjones0 @reeetums Yes, so me. I was bullied a lot at school & have been throughout my life for not "fitting in" however life has taught me that my differences & quirks are probably my best attributes so I stay true to myself! Sarah Anne. x 🤗💕

@Post5Alfred True! 😵‍💫

@reeetums Some of those are really hard.

@The2ndDrOrgel ✨☺️👍

@reeetums works on me

@mrchristopherGA Awwwww, awesome! ✨✨✨

@reeetums If I'd come upon you playing Isaac Albéniz's "Asturias (Leyenda)," I definitely woulda said hi.

@bluesmusichocke Lolololol extremely fantastic comment! ☺️

@reeetums You were nuts, everybody knows you catch boys with the Goldberg Variations.

@MrAddison Lololol ✨😆✨

@reeetums You were wrong! If you want the girls to dig you, play tuba in the concert band and join the theater club!
