    I typically try to keep my politics separate from pretty much every facet of my life; my little blog, my friendships, family, etc. but after this week I no longer feel like that’s an option. (Spoiler Alert: I voted blue.)

    the ‘blues’

    Right now, I am blue for no reason. I just woke up and wanted to cry. No trigger, just wanted to. Which then led to me feeling spontaneously sad all day long. This started yesterday – and today, which is day 2, I still want to just curl up and cry. I know it’s not…

    Maybe I will get lucky and it’ll turn into something epic, otherwise I will enjoy the ride as long as it lasts. Build my own corner of ‘happy’ on the internet. I’ve been through a lot of crap in the last 5 years, and I know I deserve something good to balance it out. Even…

    So. I disappeared for awhile. A lot went down from the end of July to now. I’ll give a breakdown and will go into more details on later blog posts. July 2019: Lost my cat Mocha and my Uncle Gary August – September 2019: Dealt with a lot of pain, tests, and ER visits. Which…

    holidays & loss

    With Mother’s Day fast approaching I’ve found myself thinking more and more about my grandma and how much I miss her. I didn’t expect holidays to hit me so hard after she passed away. Thanksgiving was painful, though it was made easier by my family and boyfriend. However when Christmas rolled around it hit me…

    So it’s been awhile since I’ve written a post. Between work, my personal life, and my mental state I have been busy to say the least. Mentally I’ve struggled a lot the last few weeks. My anxiety has been so bad that I feel claustrophobic in my own room. So I’ve been camping out in…
