All bark and no bite



The meaning of this phrase seems pretty apparent. A dog that barks and barks and barks but never follows it through with an actual bite is not as scary as it may seem. According to Wiktionary the phrase officially means: (idiomatic) Full of big talk but lacking action, power, or substance; pretentious, (idiomatic) Describes someone who often says cutting remarks, but actually has a soft personality underneath.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
