Mini May 2024 Life Update

Hi, hi!! Raquel once again. I mean, it's only ever me hahaha. Buuuut I put out a super, super, super OLD video so it's only fair I do a more semi-recent new video upload, too! Gotta even it out a bit and all haha.

So here's this little nugget!! It's just a few blips of me talking about some of my, at the time, current life updates in regards to productivity, shifting times, book adventures, and future videos I am still planning on filming or editing and definitely uploading for the first time. 🙂🙂

That's it. That's the video. Hahaha. But I did film my trigger warnings video after this one annnnnd my off brand battery pack died and for the first time EVER in all 8 years of filming Youtube videos, I lost ALLLLL of my original footage RIGHT IN THE MOMENT. Yeah, it all got deleted. I have, still, yet to reshoot the trigger warnings video. Alas. Maybe I'm still a little grumpy about it? 😜

Any who, let me know what you thought of ✨✨ 3 video uploads in a week ✨✨ and the types of content you'd like to see again in the near future!! Send me your thoughts, comments, questions, anything. I don't bite, I swear! See you all next week. Sending light and love and loadddds of safe sunshine. ☀️☀️🌻🌤️💛💛💚💚

MY BOUNDARIES:
1. I am not available between the hours of 9p EST -- 9a EST
2. I am mostly unavailable days I work at my job Althea (I'm off Sat's and Wed's)
3. If you knew me pre-2018, compliment the changes I've made to who I am today MORE THAN comparisons of who I used to be
4. I am not a therapist or 24/7 self run crisis service. If you feel you are in danger of hurting yourself or someone else, or that you've been experiencing trauma of some kind, please refer to your local resources in your county, state, country, nation. Remember that this is the Internet and what is said here remains here but that it can have effects on your life beyond its screens. Share responsibly.
5. Do not share with me or in my community specific weights/calories/behaviors or before and after images regarding eating disorders. Do not share suicide methods or ways to hurt one's self. Do not be detailed in suicide, homicide, self-harm, substance use, EDs or trauma.
6. For the purposes of my time on public websites, I am not here for dating. Understand that flirtation in verbal words, verbal imagery or written physical descriptions is inappropriate for the purposes that I am here online. (If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask and clarify!!!)
My boundaries are subject to change as new situations I could not have prepared for arise. Take care of yourselves and be safe online!

WHAT I CAN OFFER YOU:
- Validation, nonjudgmental support, pro-recovery language, empowerment, kindness, encouragement, hope, inspiration, creativity, art and what's helped me the most and my own lived experiences
- Problem solving or just listening (specify for me which you are most searching for first so I don't give you the wrong thing)
- When approaching me for something that is upsetting you and you need support: ask me twice how I am doing before you share with me to make sure I am in the right frame of mind to hear what you are saying as a peer.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY BOUNDARIES ARE CROSSED:
1. Give a warning that they've been crossed
2. Reiterate what the boundary is
3. Give up to 2 more chances for the boundaries to be respected
4. If the behavior continues, I will block, mute, delete or ban as necessary
5. Maintain confidentiality of the person or persons involved to the best of my ability
6. Practice my own forms of self-care and self-maintenance regarding recovery via time offline, creating art, etc.

I do not represent my places of hire and will strive to continue to do my best to uphold the boundaries between my professional life, my online life and my creative/public life. Thank you for reading thus far. ☀️
