Founded by Emily Costello, this blog is a safe space to go deep into the world of Highly Sensitive People, Introverts, Mental Wellness, and Spirituality. Where religious deconstruction and humor meet at the intersection of being extra, loving sci-fi, and nurturing our minds and bodies.

Stop waiting for life to happen and start doing sm Stop waiting for life to happen and start doing small actions to create feelings of joy and happiness.

Joy and richness aren’t our default state. It’s no one’s job to make your life what you want it to be except for you 

And you are so capable!

Survival mode was as my default for a long time. Survival mode was as my default for a long time.

In retrospect, I spent most of my teenage years and young adulthood choosing suffering. Choosing whatever was the hardest.

Not choosing what brought me joy or happiness or pleasure.

Today, I’m learning how to do that every day. And that I can hold multiple emotions at the same time when I struggle with how I can be happy while others are suffering. I can enjoy life and be grateful AND hold compassion and conviction for injustice and the needs of others.

I am learning that thriving doesn’t just mean feeling happy. It means FEELING EVERYTHING.
