Stalking Yourself

January 16, 2026

Have you ever stalked yourself on Facebook?

Well, I guess if you’re looking at your own profile—old posts and photos—that isn’t actually stalking.

But stalking sounds better.

Anyway.

Have you?

It’s a weird thing to do.

I haven’t done it much this last year.

There’s been so much heavy and hard and all that crap.

But tonight, I did.

And you know what I found?

Joy.

I found reels I made with my daughter last summer while we were on our big college tour.

I saw so many happy memories that, at the time, were tainted with all the shit.

But when I looked at them today,

I didn’t remember that.

I remembered the good.

Then I took a trip down memory lane and watched all of my Facebook videos.

Dang.

Talk about—

Love.

Light.

Encouragement.

Creativity.

Energy.

Fun.

Watching them reminded me of how fun I used to be.

I definitely wasn’t that way all the time.

But I was that way long enough to create a whole library of joy.

I’ve been feeling so much better lately.

Energized.

Happy.

Excited.

Ready.

And yet…

I’m missing joy.

I have a lot of peace.

But it’s definitely not the same thing.

Hmmm.

Something to work on.

Here are a few of the videos I found.
