Cocoa I am so happy for you. I hope you make speedy postpartum recovery. Wishing you strength, perseverance and a ton of happiness. I cannot believe you’re a mom now. All the best for the the journey ahead
Perrrfect! Valentine’s day and end of Love February. You have an interesting story to tell Little tigress/ chocopie in the future. Congratulations to both of you 🤩
Congratulations! This is going to be a wonderful story to tell her one day. Hope you are all doing well and wishing you nothing but joy and blessings on the adventure ahead.
Ohhhhhh, yay!!! Now you are three 👨👩👧, and what timing! Thank you for taking the time to let us know the good news ❤️🐯❤️ A most fitting pinnacle for this years Love, February 🥰
This is the BEST love, February ever!!!!! And I remember when this month made you dread your life. You are so blessed and this was fate, of course. Congratulations!!!!!👶🏻❣️❤️
Congratulations!! What a lovely gift for Valentine’s. Hope both you and your baby tigress are doing well. Wishing you all joy and happiness in the world on such a wonderful occasion.
I can still remember the first time I read one of her books (And Then There Were None). I stayed up until 3 am reading on an old, small chair in my childhood bedroom. I even got a nosebleed from the cold air as I sat up. I just couldn’t put that book down until I knew who the killer was.
I’ve read many of her books since then, some multiple times. I have a dvd box set of all the David Suchet Poirot series. I dressed up as Miss Marple for a comic con (only one person outside my group could figure out who I was supposed to be). I hand knit a Poirot mustache that I use if I ever need a last minute costume.
When I broke up with my first boyfriend in college, my mom told me to eat something good and watch a Poirot to feel better.
Strangely, Agatha Christie somehow has become a large part of my identity over the years. Not every one of her books is a classic, and there are definitely problematic parts to some of her plots. But her writing is comforting to me, like an old friend. It draws me in, with an effortless ease that I used to dream of writing with.
The BBC series of Marple and Poirot have been such comfort shows for me for so long, that the ads for the new Death on the Nile film have me thinking about my feelings for one of my favorite authors, about why I’m excited for a movie that I’m pretty sure won’t be very good (I’m a book purist what can I say, and I also lost my trust in Kenneth Branagh’s movie making some time ago).
Well, I’m going to stop myself before I start ranting again about movie versus book adaptations.
Have you read any of the new Poirot books? I forget who writes them but they’re “official”….I got one for Christmas and it isn’t terrible or anything, but I just can’t get into it in the same way I ate up actual Agatha Christie books.
I know I’ve been rather awful about actually writing during this Love, February. But honestly I’ve just been so tired.
Between my pride in not falling behind at work just because “I’m the pregnant one” to my fear that I’ve become bad at contacting people during this insular pandemic life, I feel drained constantly.
I love my job, I can honestly say that these days. Are some days unnecessarily more rough than others? Is management run by idiots? Yes to both and many similar questions. But I enjoy the work itself, the long term relationships I get to make with people on their cancer journey, the fact that I get the privilege of caring for them and hopefully helping along the way.
And I love my friends. Many of my closest friends are intentionally child free, so I admit I was nervous they thought I was buying into the 2.5 kids and white picket fence ideal of life when I got married and pregnant so quickly. But their absolute joy since the beginning at getting to be honorary aunts to my child, their care love for me and unborn baby tigress has been nothing short of beautiful. I’ll be one of the first to admit that I prefer to be a caretaker than taken care of, so this season of nausea and fatigue has taught me how thoughtful my friends and family can be, when I give them the chance.
What do any of these random thoughts have to do with this song? When I saw Eric Nam in concert several years ago, before he sang “Love Die Young” he talked about how the song wasn’t about a romantic love, but more his love for his music and performing. The song is about his fear of burnout, of losing this love that was central to his life.
I get that fear, I’ve come so close already to burn out in my work as a nurse. I love being a nurse, but I’ve seen coworkers on the other side of burnout, and how little care they have left afterwards, for themselves and their patients.
Even with this baby coming, I get worried that I’ll get so wrapped up in this little thing I love that I’ll forget to pour into the relationships that have gotten me here, that I’ll forget the other parts of myself that have worked so hard to help me learn to love me.
So, in other words, “Please don’t let this love die young.”
Eric!!!!!! Okay, I’m so glad you were at his concert. I would love to see him while he’s touring right now, but I’m not ready to with too many people. I love his new album though and I love this song too. Thank you for the meaning behind the song.
And to being tired. WE. ALL. ARE. It’s ok. I having written anything meaningful either. It’s nice to see you here and that’s enough.
It’s okay to be tired; we’re all tired – and being pregnant makes you super super tired (especially right at the end, when you also can’t sleep because you are too pregnant 😅).
It’s okay to be tired. That’s an understandable worry, but I think more often than not, new loves are like a new sprout in the garden. Even if they might take more attention and care, especially in the beginning, your friends and family and all those parts of yourself are still there ❤ And can grow and help along the way too
Day 8
Today the sun is shining. For the first time in a long time I went outside and sat in the glow.
There are many trees in my neighborhood, and the rustle of leaves mixed with the happy chirps of birds reveling in the soft earth.
I walked to the small church just a few blocks away, and interrupted a congregation of deer next to the parking lot. We stared at each other for a long moment, before one particularly clique-ish soul decided I wasn’t worth the time, and led the others in jumping away through the shrub. It made me laugh.
My own soul is so impatient today. It took all the sunshine and shading trees and singing birds and religious deer to stop me from longing for time to speed up, to get me to enjoy the moment that is today.
I’ve been thinking a lot about comfort shows ~ the stories I keep coming back to again and again. Sometimes it’s a book, like a Jane Austen, a much loved mystery, or a fairytale.
Sometimes it’s music, songs that send me to a time or place I was at peace. There’s an album that transports me to springtime, walking down a sidewalk in a neighborhood I used to live, as the first flowers bud and the trees sprout fresh, green leaves.
There are kpop albums that have me back in my car, years ago, with the windows down, the moment as bright as the sun shining outside.
Even further back, there are the songs I listen to for the people who listened to them. When I listen to the Carpenters I can hear my mom’s soft soprano even more clearly than the lead singer. Old hymns too, remind me of her singing my sister and I to sleep. When I hear Antonio Carlos Jobim, Earth, Wind & Fire, Santana, (and many others), I can hear my dad plucking on his guitar, reminiscing about what bands had actual good concerts back in the 1970s. (Before meeting my mom he spent all excess cash on music and concert tickets).
I listen to Eisley or Tilly & the Wall to hear my sisters singing along with me. Of Montreal lets me see my brother’s exaggerated lip syncing as he drives. There are Disney songs, Danny Kaye musicals, and random songs of the Marx Brothers that my family can quote line by line. There’s probably even more that I’m forgetting…
Oh, I remember those days! Hopefully, you have quiet neighbors so that when you find yourself falling asleep, they’re not blaring their music at 1 am. Been there, done that. And walked to their apartment 9 months pregnant to tell them to shut it off. Sleep IS love.
That sounds like misery… we actually moved into a quieter neighborhood after finding out about the baby (also our apartment rent was being raised hundreds of dollars 🥲 so it was necessary).
My best sleep at the moment is if I accidentally doze off on the couch when I’m home from work…
We eloped March of 2021, I wore a pink dress, he wore pointy shoes, and we both had matching Hogwarts face masks. The ceremony maybe lasted five minutes.
We called our parents before, but otherwise that day was just us, and just, well, lovely.
Love, February
P.S. I highly recommend splitting a wedding cake just between you and your best friend.
It seems fitting for February to start with a celebration.
Happy New Year!
This past year frustration and joy have, at least for me, been mixed into the most unexpected cocktail of living.
I\’m excited and nervous and all around terrified for this year.
But I\’m making pho for dinner tonight (I simmered the broth all day Sunday), Pie Guy and I will eat oranges, and pray for the coming weeks.
I suppose I\’ve not told the news here, but we are expecting a chocopie to be born sometime in the next few weeks. Our little tigress is already as fierce as they come (at kicking me in the ribs).
@Cocoa, The fake poet of February – What a hopeful, slightly terrified and overall lovely comment you have written!
I wish you all the best with your pregnancy! Take care.
Wow! I was all excited about you making Pho! And then the mention of Pie Guy! And the finding out you’re pregnant! And then super excited about you having a baby sooooon!!! My sister in law is also having a a baby in the next few months! Congratulations!!!!!🤗👶🏻
Haha, i like to keep people guessing. To be fair, this is how I told most people, slipping it into casual conversation since announcing things is rather awkward for me…
I know it’s been a while, but Tuesday starts Love, February once more, and I wanted to put it out there if anyone here wanted to participate again. For those who haven’t been here in previous years, in February there is a challenge to spend the days leading up to Valentine’s Day focusing on the various types of love in our lives, love of food, family, friends, nature, books, etc.
I miss the Beanie life, hopefully this February I can be more present here again.
Love,
Cocoa
I added the previous tag list from last year below, please let me know if you want off or on this.
Hello! I just made this account earlier this month so i don’t know what is this and how does it work. Even though sometimes i wonder what i love in this life, i look forward to read people’s stories. Can i join?😁
Yes of course! I’ll add you to the list to get tagged ~ if you would like to see previous years, check out my fan wall, I would do daily “round ups” with links to all the beanie posts about love for the day.
I have stalked your fan wall😁 to see yours and beanies’ stories and they’re all really beautiful.
I’m nervous and a little afraid to taint this annual event between beanies with my stories… but i also want to know how honest and raw my stories can be
Hi, coco!
Thank you for including me. Hopefully I can take a more active role this year. Can’t wait to read other’s posts. (I think I need to warm up my writing muscle.)
See you in February. ^^
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you, Coco!!! Thank you for sharing this news with us, and wishing you and PB a lifetime of happiness together!!!!!!
haha, you are well loved in the DB community! I’ve told you before congratulations, but just wanted to add that I couldn’t be happier for you and Pie Boy (what an interesting nickname). xoxo
You and @azzo1 are really setting a precedent of fun nicknames and amazing beaus for future Beanies. Congratulations to you and Pie Guy (I’m so glad I asked about his nickname)!
Haha, we actually got engaged over a month ago! (Some of my panicking I talked about recently was actually over attempting wedding planning in a pandemic)
I’m so very happy for you. He’s had my approval ever since you sent me that panicky message on Discord so many months ago. He’s good people, and you deserve the absolute best.
For coffee lovers (from Starbucks):
“You’re just my Cold Boo.”
“You’re my one brew love.”
“We’re a perfect matcha.”
“Did it hurt when you fell from the sky?”
“Do you believe in ‘love at first sight’? Because I can walk by again.”
“If you were a Transformer, you would be Optimus Fine.”
I’m no photographer, but I can picture us together.”
For Potterheads:
“Is this the Hogwarts Express? Because it feels like you and I are headed to somewhere magical.”
“Somebody better call God, because He’s missing an angel.”
“Do you have a map? I keep getting lost in your eyes.”
Do you have a bandaid? I just scraped my knee falling for you.”
“You’re so beautiful that you made me forget my pick-up line.”
All of these are super funny and cringey
I liked this though:
“I was wondering if you had an extra heart. Because mine was just stolen.”
But everyone would surely run away if they hear this:
“My love for you is like diarrhea, I just can’t hold it in.” 😂
I actually thought the last one you posted pretty funny. 😂 But somehow I think mentioning diarrhea might not sound appealing to some, so I just picked the other one instead.
I actually like these too:
Are you French? Because Eiffel for you.
Aside from being sexy, what do you do for a living?
If you were a Transformer… you’d be Optimus Fine.
Do you believe in love at first sight—or should I walk by again? 🥺🤣🤣🤣
These are really old and 100% cringey, but here they go:
“Did you get hurt? – when you fell from heaven”
“Are you a squatter?- You’ve been living rent-free in my head”
“Give it back – the beat my heart skipped when I saw you”
“What’s your name? – need to know it for my letter to Santa Claus”
Day 10
A new grocery store opened up down the street today, and when we met for dinner before my shift we masked up and went to ogle.
So dangerous sounding now, going to a busy grocery store. But it had the tea I’d been looking for, and a nice prepared food section for us to buy sandwiches from. (we ate them at his apartment, unmasked and snuggling while we watched the latest Lovestruck in the City and debated whether Geon should’ve chased after Sun Young)
That’s all I have to say for today.
Love, February
I’m not sure what happened. It was supposed to be a good day. I made pancakes for goodness’ sakes.
I still had a panic attack Monday night.
It can be discouraging, when you feel like you’re doing everything right, that you’re relaxing, taking time for yourself, that you’re actively TRYING to fix yourself, to be better.
And then the same thing happens again. And again.
Especially with covid, my anxiety (that I thought I knew how to handle) is unpredictable and occasionally violent in how it shuts my body down.
But that doesn’t mean I should stop trying. Today I slept a lot, and took a long walk, and hopefully will be stronger next time. Anxiety is like my kdrama villain, my evil CEO, my diabolically sparkly shoe’d mother in law.
I just want to be my own indefatigable Candy heroine.
And you’ll be. It’s ok to be broken. 😊 You don’t have to try that hard.
You see.. many times it’s a crack or many cracks that make a plate, or a mug unique and beautiful. Don’t be too harsh on yourself.
I had a rough day too today. It was a rare instance but I was angry with one of the classes I taught. I think they also knew, but let’s say that I’m human, and that is bound to happen sometimes.
Bad days, good days, they are still our days. ‘Our’ days make our life unique and beautiful.
I had a patient yesterday who just developed panic attacks after having a milder case of Covid19. It’s a whole new thing for him. I’m treating something else for him which is well-controlled, but sometimes you just need permission to have them. I hope his is just a result of the illness and will get better soon. I hope yours improves as well.
I’ve been there – panic attacks are the worst. I think the worst part of them is how they make me feel hopeless after working hard to get things under control. But I’ve learned that sometimes we have to accept that we can’t control ourselves and out mind and body will do what it needs to get our attention. But I’m sure you know this too.
It doesn’t make things better to know that, but it does remind me that we need to pay attention to ourselves. I remember once, when my depression was at its worst, I had finally had a day where I could go out and get groceries and leave my apartment without feeling like I was walking around with a giant “FAILURE” sign over my head. But then on my walk back, half a block from my apartment, music playing in my headphones, I started to feel like the walls were closing in around me. I barely made back into my apartment. I don’t really remember a lot from that time. It wasn’t even the worst panic attack I had that year. But for some reason it’s the one that sticks with me.
It sucked. It sucks. I’m so sorry you had to deal with that this week. I hope you feel better soon. But also, be kind to yourself. It’s okay to not be okay. (No pun intended.) Just know that you will be okay eventually.
It’s just delightful for me. To spend a morning waking up slowly and staying in bed a while. Puttering around the apartment in my shawl and comfy pants.
Making a pot of tea, then pulling out the pancake ingredients. Listening to a podcast or music as I leisurely cook.
It just, seems so very decadent, making this breakfast for myself. Taking this time for myself.
I talked with a friend of mine today, a long phone call.
We talked about Valentine’s Day, how we used to host parties for our friends back in college, and just generally go all out for the holiday, to celebrate the love in our friendships.
Making heart shaped foods, pink drinks (I highly recommend cherry sprite with vanilla ice cream), crafting, and just enjoying the time spent together.
This year has not been much for times with friends, but I’m so grateful for all the memories to reminisce on, for the love that has been in my life.
I went into work unhappy and tearful, that full feeling where anything can push me over the edge.
I felt dramatic and curmudgeonly.
At one point later in the evening, a float person attempted to make conversation with me. I answered her questions, then apologized for not being very nice tonight.
Her: “What? You’re being very nice!”
It’s strange how we can feel so off inside, yet so conditioned that I need to be overboard helpful to my colleagues as well as doing my own work, that the resulting still normal behavior seems rude.
I’m not sure if that makes sense.
Not sure where the love is, but here is my,
Love,
February

On day 13 I went into labor, and on day 14 little Tigress came into the world.
Still in the hospital, but both of us are healthy and so very happy.
I still can’t believe she was actually born on Valentine’s Day. The irony.

Day 12
I love Agatha Christie.
I can still remember the first time I read one of her books (And Then There Were None). I stayed up until 3 am reading on an old, small chair in my childhood bedroom. I even got a nosebleed from the cold air as I sat up. I just couldn’t put that book down until I knew who the killer was.
I’ve read many of her books since then, some multiple times. I have a dvd box set of all the David Suchet Poirot series.

I hand knit a Poirot mustache that I use if I ever need a last minute costume.

I’ve been thinking a lot about comfort shows ~ the stories I keep coming back to again and again. Sometimes it’s a book, like a Jane Austen, a much loved mystery, or a fairytale.
Sometimes it’s music, songs that send me to a time or place I was at peace. There’s an album that transports me to springtime, walking down a sidewalk in a neighborhood I used to live, as the first flowers bud and the trees sprout fresh, green leaves.
There are kpop albums that have me back in my car, years ago, with the windows down, the moment as bright as the sun shining outside.
Even further back, there are the songs I listen to for the people who listened to them. When I listen to the Carpenters I can hear my mom’s soft soprano even more clearly than the lead singer. Old hymns too, remind me of her singing my sister and I to sleep. When I hear Antonio Carlos Jobim, Earth, Wind & Fire, Santana, (and many others), I can hear my dad plucking on his guitar, reminiscing about what bands had actual good concerts back in the 1970s. (Before meeting my mom he spent all excess cash on music and concert tickets).
I listen to Eisley or Tilly & the Wall to hear my sisters singing along with me. Of Montreal lets me see my brother’s exaggerated lip syncing as he drives. There are Disney songs, Danny Kaye musicals, and random songs of the Marx Brothers that my family can quote line by line. There’s probably even more that I’m forgetting…
To all the music, and all the memories,
Love, February

Oh, I remember those days! Hopefully, you have quiet neighbors so that when you find yourself falling asleep, they’re not blaring their music at 1 am. Been there, done that. And walked to their apartment 9 months pregnant to tell them to shut it off. Sleep IS love.
Cocoa, The Fake Poet of February
February 5, 2022 at 5:38 AM
That sounds like misery… we actually moved into a quieter neighborhood after finding out about the baby (also our apartment rent was being raised hundreds of dollars 🥲 so it was necessary).
My best sleep at the moment is if I accidentally doze off on the couch when I’m home from work…

We eloped March of 2021, I wore a pink dress, he wore pointy shoes, and we both had matching Hogwarts face masks. The ceremony maybe lasted five minutes.
We called our parents before, but otherwise that day was just us, and just, well, lovely.

Day 1, 2022
It seems fitting for February to start with a celebration.
Happy New Year!
This past year frustration and joy have, at least for me, been mixed into the most unexpected cocktail of living.
I\’m excited and nervous and all around terrified for this year.
But I\’m making pho for dinner tonight (I simmered the broth all day Sunday), Pie Guy and I will eat oranges, and pray for the coming weeks.
I suppose I\’ve not told the news here, but we are expecting a chocopie to be born sometime in the next few weeks. Our little tigress is already as fierce as they come (at kicking me in the ribs).
Here\’s to the New Year!
Love, February

I know it’s been a while, but Tuesday starts Love, February once more, and I wanted to put it out there if anyone here wanted to participate again. For those who haven’t been here in previous years, in February there is a challenge to spend the days leading up to Valentine’s Day focusing on the various types of love in our lives, love of food, family, friends, nature, books, etc.
I miss the Beanie life, hopefully this February I can be more present here again.
Love,

“You’re my one brew love.”
“We’re a perfect matcha.”
“Did it hurt when you fell from the sky?”
“Do you believe in ‘love at first sight’? Because I can walk by again.”

I’m no photographer, but I can picture us together.”
For Potterheads:
“Is this the Hogwarts Express? Because it feels like you and I are headed to somewhere magical.”
“Somebody better call God, because He’s missing an angel.”
“Do you have a map? I keep getting lost in your eyes.”
Do you have a bandaid? I just scraped my knee falling for you.”
“You’re so beautiful that you made me forget my pick-up line.”

“My love for you is like diarrhea, I just can’t hold it in.” 😂

I actually thought the last one you posted pretty funny. 😂 But somehow I think mentioning diarrhea might not sound appealing to some, so I just picked the other one instead.
I actually like these too:
Are you French? Because Eiffel for you.
Aside from being sexy, what do you do for a living?
If you were a Transformer… you’d be Optimus Fine.
Do you believe in love at first sight—or should I walk by again? 🥺🤣🤣🤣

There are so many little moments that I often take for granted, that I forget to acknowledge as love.
My best friend texting me to check in.
Arriving home to a Valentines’ package of chocolate and face masks from my mom.
My sister texting to arrange a video chat with her and her kids.
A random little boy stopping on his bike to thrust a large magnolia leaf towards me, stating “have a leaf” before cycling into the distance.
Just sitting here, with my cat, eating my dinner.
There is a lot of love in the world.

Day 10
A new grocery store opened up down the street today, and when we met for dinner before my shift we masked up and went to ogle.
So dangerous sounding now, going to a busy grocery store. But it had the tea I’d been looking for, and a nice prepared food section for us to buy sandwiches from. (we ate them at his apartment, unmasked and snuggling while we watched the latest Lovestruck in the City and debated whether Geon should’ve chased after Sun Young)
That’s all I have to say for today.
Love, February

I’m not sure what happened. It was supposed to be a good day. I made pancakes for goodness’ sakes.
I still had a panic attack Monday night.
It can be discouraging, when you feel like you’re doing everything right, that you’re relaxing, taking time for yourself, that you’re actively TRYING to fix yourself, to be better.
And then the same thing happens again. And again.
Especially with covid, my anxiety (that I thought I knew how to handle) is unpredictable and occasionally violent in how it shuts my body down.
But that doesn’t mean I should stop trying. Today I slept a lot, and took a long walk, and hopefully will be stronger next time. Anxiety is like my kdrama villain, my evil CEO, my diabolically sparkly shoe’d mother in law.
I just want to be my own indefatigable Candy heroine.
Love, February

And you’ll be. It’s ok to be broken. 😊 You don’t have to try that hard.
You see.. many times it’s a crack or many cracks that make a plate, or a mug unique and beautiful. Don’t be too harsh on yourself.
I had a rough day too today. It was a rare instance but I was angry with one of the classes I taught. I think they also knew, but let’s say that I’m human, and that is bound to happen sometimes.
Bad days, good days, they are still our days. ‘Our’ days make our life unique and beautiful.

I had a patient yesterday who just developed panic attacks after having a milder case of Covid19. It’s a whole new thing for him. I’m treating something else for him which is well-controlled, but sometimes you just need permission to have them. I hope his is just a result of the illness and will get better soon. I hope yours improves as well.
SnarkyJellyfish
February 10, 2021 at 6:26 AM
I’ve been there – panic attacks are the worst. I think the worst part of them is how they make me feel hopeless after working hard to get things under control. But I’ve learned that sometimes we have to accept that we can’t control ourselves and out mind and body will do what it needs to get our attention. But I’m sure you know this too.
It doesn’t make things better to know that, but it does remind me that we need to pay attention to ourselves. I remember once, when my depression was at its worst, I had finally had a day where I could go out and get groceries and leave my apartment without feeling like I was walking around with a giant “FAILURE” sign over my head. But then on my walk back, half a block from my apartment, music playing in my headphones, I started to feel like the walls were closing in around me. I barely made back into my apartment. I don’t really remember a lot from that time. It wasn’t even the worst panic attack I had that year. But for some reason it’s the one that sticks with me.
It sucked. It sucks. I’m so sorry you had to deal with that this week. I hope you feel better soon. But also, be kind to yourself. It’s okay to not be okay. (No pun intended.) Just know that you will be okay eventually.

I like to make pancakes on my days off.
It’s just delightful for me. To spend a morning waking up slowly and staying in bed a while. Puttering around the apartment in my shawl and comfy pants.
Making a pot of tea, then pulling out the pancake ingredients. Listening to a podcast or music as I leisurely cook.
It just, seems so very decadent, making this breakfast for myself. Taking this time for myself.

I talked with a friend of mine today, a long phone call.
We talked about Valentine’s Day, how we used to host parties for our friends back in college, and just generally go all out for the holiday, to celebrate the love in our friendships.
Making heart shaped foods, pink drinks (I highly recommend cherry sprite with vanilla ice cream), crafting, and just enjoying the time spent together.
This year has not been much for times with friends, but I’m so grateful for all the memories to reminisce on, for the love that has been in my life.

I didn’t sleep much, and that makes me grumpy.
I went into work unhappy and tearful, that full feeling where anything can push me over the edge.
I felt dramatic and curmudgeonly.
At one point later in the evening, a float person attempted to make conversation with me. I answered her questions, then apologized for not being very nice tonight.
Her: “What? You’re being very nice!”
It’s strange how we can feel so off inside, yet so conditioned that I need to be overboard helpful to my colleagues as well as doing my own work, that the resulting still normal behavior seems rude.
I’m not sure if that makes sense.
Not sure where the love is, but here is my,
