I just want to be able to plan my weekly meals and get all my produce and eggs at the farmer's market, my milk and butter and other dairy products from a local dairy, and get my meat from a local butcher.

I want part of my weekly routine to be finding recipes using seasonal produce and know where my food comes from and support my local farmers by buying directly from them.

I want to plan my meals on Friday, swing by the butcher shop after work, get my produce on Saturday and prep on Sunday so I have less stress of cooking during the week and less opportunity for "I don't know what to cook"/"I'm too tired to prepare a whole meal" and get fast food.

(I don't think that's anything wrong with eating fast food or grocery store food or anything like that. I think people should eat whatever fits their needs/tastes.

I just like the idea of farmer's markets, family dairies, and small small butcher shops. And fast food makes my tummy hurt.)

Call Me Barack Obama (My Bday Twin)

Posted on my Substack & Patreon today, 2.27.24

Hello, I think my first "official" post should be an introduction.

Not me "going public" right after my Boomer dad was just talking to me about the importance of privacy 🤣. I get it: the Baby Boomer generation is very hush hush, sweep things under the rug, don't put the family business out there. I'm a millenial though and we're breaking generational curses.

A breakdown of my annoying vocabulary:

-Generational curse = a habit or behavior that has been passed from one generation to the next.

-cishet = cisgender heterosexual

-cisgender = I was born with a vagina and identify as a woman

-heterosexual = For the most part, I am mentally/emotionally/sexually attracted to people who present as male

-neurodivergent = differing in mental or neurological (brain) function from what is considered typical or normal (frequently used with reference to autistic spectrum disorders)

-Highly Sensitive Person = when you’re deeply sensitive to certain physical, emotional or social situations; a form of neurodivergence

-Introverted = recharge social battery via alone time

-Morbidly Curious = an interest in or curiosity about unpleasant things, especially death. If u know me, you know I ask a LOT of questions

-Trigger/Content Warnings = warnings that a work contains writing, images, or concepts that may be distressing to some people

-Abolition = a person who favors the abolition of a practice or institution, especially capital punishment or (formerly) slavery

Welcome! I am Breea Janay. I'm a 31 year old cishet Black woman. I'm a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), relatively introverted, and I consider myself an artsy, morbidly curious scientist. I bake, eat, read, write, and game a lot. I am a middle child with an older and younger sister. I was raised as a devout Christian (non-denominational). If you’re into astrology, I'm a Leo sun, Libra moon, Cancer rising. I am the descendant of some soap opera level stuff. Very intense, dramatic, & traumatic topics that I need to preface with Content/Trigger warnings so that I don't, well, trigger anyone.

Both my parents are from rural East Texas, but thanks to General Motors (my dad's job), I had the privilege of being the first Black baby born in Vermont in 1992, in the month of August (8th month of the year!). A lot of the hospital staff were vying to see & photograph their first Black infant, as naturally I was not equally human like my white peers 🙄. Burlington, VT wanted me to be in the papers, but my parents were not comfortable with that. The next year, my younger sister would be the first Black baby born in Vermont in 1993 (also August) 😭.

Shortly after my younger sister's birth, we moved to New Jersey, where I stayed until 2001. I spent a lot of time in Philadelphia, spent a lot of summers in Texas, and visited NYC for the first time in July 2001.

My parents moved the fam to Texas in 2001 (we drove from NJ to TX 🫠), where I started 4th grade in the Houston area. I moved to the Dallas area in 9th grade, 2006. I graduated from Allen High School at 17 years old and went to Brown University in 2010.

How did I a) get into any Ivy League and then b) mess it all up by landing myself in the looney bin? How could I do something as selfish and stupid as a suicide attempt when I had everything going for me?

That's definitely where my content warnings come in, so I'll save that for later. Just to be transparent, that stuff is probably going to need to go behind a slight paywall.

Thank you for reading! I'm planning on returning to video-making/Youtube (I started a Youtube channel in my senior year of high school to talk about my hair journey), I'm just trying to get my aesthetic in order first! My twin flame/maybe soulmate is putting me through the wringer right now and I look like it. I guess I could always wig it up for now...

Drove into the countryside for fun, here's some pix

I was bored today so I took my trusty auto out to Raywood TX (aka rural SETX, about a 40 min. drive from home), and took some cool Polaroid pix (and phone pix too 'cos my polaroid film is old and faded :\).

Annyways here's the pix:
