THE GRIEF IS REAL

.Sometimes I get so frustrated when I see people complaining about the little things in life. And I don’t mean to get frustrated — it’s not your fault. But when life rips everything away from you… When you’re fighting pain daily. When you can’t work or provide. Shit just hits different. It’s easy no...

SATURDAY THOUGHTS…

Tonight I’m just chilling, and these random thoughts popped into my head — and honestly, I want to have a real conversation about it. A lot of people aren’t a fan of AI. They think it’s ruining our brains, killing our critical thinking, or whatever other nonsense they can come up with. But… what if ...

EMOTIONAL OVERWHELM...

Things have been a little crazy lately. I finally made it in to see an Endometriosis specialist. He’s sending me to a few others. Our kitten has been so sick he peed on the couch. I’ve been learning how to receive help — the kind that actually helps. And honestly? It’s just been A LOT. Here’s the wi...

WHATEVER IT TAKES...

When you’ve been at rock bottom, you stop judging how people hold on. You just pray they make it through. 💖 My heart aches for those who live with judgment — for others, and for themselves. I mean, I get it. I used to, too. But I’ve also come to understand something deeper: love, compassion, and fo...

ACCOMMODATIONS

Accepting that we are different can be hard enough. Admitting that we need help or accommodations, is a whole other level... But we are worth it and we deserve to function just as the rest of the world. Our disabilities or struggles may hold us back but we won't let them win! We will continue to ris...

Existing

I seem to have this problem where I will push myself really freaking hard, and then I get exhausted, am burnt out for a few days or so and then I repeat the cycle all over again. I'm really trying to work on this although I am not completely sure how I'm going to break it. I just keep trying. Learni...

Then I paused.And thought — wow, that’s actually kind of perfect. I’ve been misunderstood for most of my life. I never quit...

Crushed

If you would have told me it would be love that woke me up and changed my life forever, and heartbreak that put me back together… I would have thought you were crazy. It doesn’t make logical sense to me. But love and heartbreak don’t work on logic. It’s deep seated feelings we may never understand. ...

Forgiving Yourself

One of the hardest parts of this healing journey for me has been forgiveness. A simple internet search shows forgiveness as a conscious and deliberate act of releasing anger, resentment, and the desire for revenge towards someone who has wronged us. But what if we aren't actually conscious of it? I ...
