I was sitting on my bed, working on my cards. I had waited until my daughters were at rest time, before getting started. I wanted uninterrupted concentration.
Thirty minutes before that, I received a call from my daughter’s teacher, checking on us. I also typed up a text, but decided to respond to the incoming text instead. I replied, “What I was going to send would have made you lose your concentration.”
Aaannndddd… that’s it. This choice I made, to not verbalize my thought, “irritated” this individual. Why? Because he/she hates when this happens. “It shows a distrust or lack of conviction.”
This one example opened Pandora’s box. I’m now deep in thought about concepts I hadn’t felt mature enough to realize before. I’m in thought about more of my boundaries. I’m in thought about how energy and vibes affect me.
Not everyone is made for me. Not everyone will mesh with my values, desires, and decisions. No, I’m not asking for robotic duplicates… but, enough commonality within the most important categories in life.
I accept that not everyone is my cup of tea. I have also learned to accept that I can let go of insignificant tension through humor. I’ve learned that tension CAN result in resolution. I’ve learned that conflict doesn’t have to be this wild, enraged out of control tool, …. out to demolish anything of substance between two people.
On the contrary,
Such is life isn’t it? Ebbs and flows of stimulating situations that trigger old or birth new memories. Constantly working within ourselves to positively influence this world?
Maybe I’ve just come to believe that theory CAN be true.
See what happens to me under the influence of life? HAHA!

I’ve endure child abuse. I’ve been urged to kill myself. I’ve lived with severe depression and major panic attacks. I’ve been married and divorced, and married again… I’ve endured my second husband’s suicide… And the whole community dubbing me ” psycho murderer”… I’ve had two girls, both over 9lbs, and HPV during my second pregnancy. I’ve been wrongfully robbed of 95% of my possessions, and traveled across the country with a full blown narsassist. I’ve endured roadside stranded, vehicle towed, and so much more…
And I’ve been strong through it. I’ve felt capable in my solitude to handle the situation…
With this recent event, I’m struggling. These emotions of fear and deep sadness might be apart of what he’s feeling… I don’t know. I just know I can’t seem to feel comfort… As badly as I want to. My boyfriend’s son is at the hospital with him. He’s the closest to my bf I can be right now… And he’s not sentimental… He probably doesn’t give much care about what I’m feeling right now… And to an extent, I can understand that.
I just wish I had someone who’d come see me and have coffee. Someone who could give me an in person hug, and reassure me he’s going to wake up. I’ve watched entirely toooooo many medical shows where my brain is trying to say “He could sleep for weeks, even months.”! Someone please tell my irrational fears to quiet.
Guh, I’m exhausted. In the meantime, my vehicle sits unmoved… Till this weekend, when I could pay to do anything with it. My girls are constantly tatling on one another. Everything is ” that’s mineeeeee!!!!!”… Or my toddler throwing it over the side of our porch.
Life is going to get easier, but im ready for that time to be now. I saw another trilogy of 4s tonight. It’s odd how virtually normal they are to me. It made me smile.
Anyway, I’m tired. Today’s day one of this craziness. Day 3 for the bf unconscious from brain swelling.
I’m never struggled with faith… But, we’re not meant to do life alone… So, I’m going to need you guys.
If you’d like to send me anything that’s funny or a quick hello or funny meme…. Whatever the case, my email is

Good night 🌺 Good Morning to you East of the US and Good Afternoon to you on the West Coast!
It’s been hours since I’ve heard the news, and I don’t feel any better. I actually feel worse.
He’s unconscious because of a concussion. The thought of him like that breaks my heart.
My chest has physically hurt, all day. That could be because I’ve been alone, in my apartment, all day.
I’ve struggled with feeling a sense of belonging in his life, because he doesn’t remember me before last November. I question if I do have a right to know how he’s doing, or if I’m right where I should be. Not because I don’t love him, but because he doesn’t remember much of me. It’s all terribly painful. I feel I’ve invested so much into him that I deserve and should get updates, that these recent feelings are insecurities… But I also want what’s best for him… And I want to be a good impact, a healthy choice for him.
Then my car, guys, yesterday morning, I nearly lost control of it twice. My breaks started grinding when I went in reverse recently, so I knew I needed to make an appointment to have an alignment done. I didn’t have enough money so I was going to barrow some from my bf.
Meanwhile, while waiting for the funds to transfer, I’m going down the highway, and my wheels wanted to take my car to the right… Rather than straight. I don’t know if the rain made it lose traction or what, but I haven’t moved it since.
All of this has happened at once… And me in my head is making my chest hurt more by the second. Sure I’m positive I’ll have enough to get my car fixed, I’m almost positive my boyfriend will be released with minimal issues…
But, right now, I just need people to tell me, you’re not alone. Breathe, hey listen to my day, just distract me with conversation or reassurance that everything WILL be ok.
I need that right now…. Not likes. Thank you all. 🌸💖
My girls are my greatest accomplishment! I am so proud of who they are, and I am excited to help them become their greatest self. Being a single mom hasn’t been easy, ever… But, it’s been the biggest blessing of my life.
