TW: Su***de / Depression

September is Su***de Depression Month. I’ve struggled with depression my entire life. There are days where I haven’t been able to get out of bed, where everything feels meaningless. It’s that aching feeling where I’d rather feel something than nothing. Those dark nights of the soul feel incredibly isolating and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

Therapy helped me. Talking to people I trusted helped me. It was slowly learning that asking for help doesn’t make you weak. It makes you brave and it makes you human.

If you’re struggling right now, please know that you are not alone, that the world is better with you in it, and that you are loved infinitely.

Please, remember to check in on the people you love. ❤️

“The North Central Texas Council of Governments, which published the survey, asked a group of 31 local leaders and municipal staff about how they’re addressing ongoing development.

The vast majority — 78% — of respondents said their city or county doesn’t have adequate infrastructure to support new data centers without major upgrades.”

Our beautiful courthouse in District 2 is shining bright for Dolly. I love this so much!

On Monday night, I received an e-mail from a 6 year old constituent who was upset with overdevelopment and the loss of green spaces in Denton. He said that he wanted to speak to council at our meeting the following night about these issues. I made sure to respond and asked him to introduce himself before the meeting started.

He was very smart and very brave. I see a future Denton mayor in the making!

I was on the phone with Councilmember Ferrie this morning while doing my daily walk downtown. Mid-conversation they said, “look directly in front of you!” George was standing right in front of me.

Two seconds later, we looked to our left, and there was Councilmember Rumohr getting on her bike. There’s over 165k people in the city, what are the odds that you run into two colleagues at the same time 😂

Thanks for the selfie, Suzi!! ❤️

I am grateful for our little city— especially places like Ten: One Artisan Cheese. Is this not the most beautiful cheese board you’ve ever seen?

Update: Data Center Moratorium

I am grateful to my colleagues. Yesterday night, we unanimously (6-0) voted to move forward with scheduling the public hearings for a data center moratorium.

We will have public hearings on 9/22 and 10/27. We will vote for a final adoption to enact the temporary moratorium on 12/2.
