The "babies" of my life are gone. It's so ok. It's fine. It's fine it's fine it's fine. I'm so fine. It's all good. I'm good. I'm so good.
Dec 17, 2024 I don't really know how to start this blog again after having abandoned it for so long. I'm just going to return to my roots, and use this for my stream of consciousness to pour out without edits. I hadn't been tracking my period, but this is nothing new. Sometimes I track, sometimes I don't. Honestly life is just very fast and my period is here and gone so quickly I don't really pay much attention to it. I don't get headaches, or cramps, I usually have a very sympton-free period and that's that. So I dont usually track or stress much over it (I can hear my female friends gasping at this as I type it)... But in case you forgot, I've never been too into living a structured life. Hakuna Matata. But at some point, I felt like I must be late, it felt like I hadn't had a period in over a month, maybe well over a month...I started questioning when my last period might have been...I still have no clue. I guessed well over 28 days ago, so I...
(Originally written in 2018, finally published, in 2022.) I don’t have the words to sum up the last 9 months of my life. Actually that’s not true. I have too many words. And some of them just cannot be shared on this blog. 2018 ended with heartache, and 2019 started with heartache. And it hasn’t actually gone away. That’s the thing about real, deep heartache. Time doesn’t ever fully heal the pain, does it? It can be dulled, it can be momentarily forgotten, it can be lost amongst the more pervasive moments we must deal with day to day. But the heartache doesn’t leave completely. And I’m struggling because I know that so much healing lies on the other side of sharing these heartaches—on the other side of eyes red and raw, on the other side of sobs and gasping for breath type crying, there is opportunity for healing, for empathy, for a willing soul to share in the grief. But I’m struggling because these heartaches run too deep. They cross over into many lives. They have already ...
Hey team. Life’s been crazy. Surprise surprise. Everyday there are close to 12 stories I could share that would be entertaining, terrifying, or tragic. But then I get tired and it’s the end of the day and in a few short hours we start all over again. And by the time I think to type something up, 1,405 other stories have already come and gone, and without cataloging them, they’re erased from my mind. It’s probably for the better--if I shared all the yucky, horrible, beautiful, wonderful, terrible things that happen in our world daily, it’d be too much for most. For your sake it’s better that I forget almost instantaneously what happens in my life. I’ll just start rambling and see what comes out. (Warning: I’ve just read through it and it’s a bit of a pity-party. So if you’re having a rosy, lollipop-of-a-day, don’t keep reading and ruin it.) There's a storm brewing. School is out. Luke, my baby, turned 10. And I think I’ve gained about 5 pounds in 5 days. I don’t know how that...
