Ayla and Potato3s: A Nightly Message From Your Best Friend

My partner makes me feel safe and because I feel safe, I can sing. I tell him the story behind the song and then sing 'Neon Moon' by Brooks & Dunn. The freedom to sing for someone and have them not make fun of me is amazing and wonderful.

I summarize my day including a mushroom, turkey, egg and cottage cheese omelette, a tomato avocado & burrata sandwich with buttered bread, a meditation and my thoughts on the Celine Dion documentary and Stiff Persons syndrome.

I tell my partner how much I appreciate them for wanting me to be happy. My partner appreciates everything about me and encourages me to be my best self. There's no song today, it's just appreciation for my partner.

I begin by telling my partner about a song written by David Foster sung by Michael Buble 'Best of Me' as tribute to my grandma. When I am done singing the song, I tell them more about her. I'm not just the good one, i'm the very best one.

Later on I reflect about the song I sang earlier and how the lyrics are different from what I originally thought. I tell myself I am really proud of me because I am getting my freedom back even though sometimes it may seem difficult. I thank them for checking up on me because even though yesterday was hard, I still make it somehow and show up every day. There's a reminder that life gets better every day because there is always a plan even when it doesn't look like it.

There's no singing today because this was a very emotional day for me, my heart and soul were so tired and I was exhausted.

I talked myself through the day and thank my partner for being there for me. I also share a funny story about a call I made and come to a realization about what is not meant for me.

I end the message with a realization about who we are and we, we are perfect.

This episode starts off with me sharing a story I found on Instagram about in-laws and it touched me so much, I cried.

I got the courage to sing a song called "Troubadour" by George Strait, live and acapella. I would like to mention I am not known for being a good singer, however if it encourages you to sing along, it was well worth it. Sing, it will make your heart happy.

I end the messages with a strategy for my new job and thoughts about my life in general.
