Today is the last day of spring break here. And let me tell you, it has been a long week. My 6 year old will go back to school tomorrow, leaving me home with just my 4 year old and 5 month old. (Yes, he’s 5 months as of yesterday 😭). I will be glad …
I don’t feel like myself lately. Or, maybe, more accurately…I feel like a version of myself that I really, really hate. I’ve been feeling so disconnected from everyone lately. I feel disconnected from my husband, I’m not feeling that close, loving connection that I always desperately long for…and I’m feeling the same way with my …
It’s no secret that lately, I’ve been heading down a dark path. A path that I’m honestly trying to get off of. I’m working a lot harder in therapy and trying to stick to the goals we come up with, I’m being more open and honest…I opened up to my best friend about it… But …
I don’t want to burden you, but thank you for being there. Read More »
Therapy last night felt like a win. And I don’t know if you’ll ever appreciate how much that truly means to me. I pretty much live or die by the strength of my relationships. My marriage, my friendships, my relationship with my therapist…when things are stable, I feel good. When they’re not…holy shit do things …
My mental health is currently….well, it’s concerningly bad. Lately, it seems that the majority of my nights are spent thinking of, wishing of death. Life has become too hard, too consuming. I no longer see an option of peace within my days, so I’m looking for calmness in other options. I don’t see death as …
I had a post ready to go for this morning, but then my friend Danielle over at TheDailyAddict wrote a post with me in mind. It’s called For Alana, and it made me feel a little less alone. So I’m going to share her words here this morning instead. I’m grateful for her, her blog, …

If I had to assign a word to the year 2022, it would probably be chaotic. It’s been a long year. In a lot of ways, 2022 has been good to me. It brought me my baby. It brought me 9 months of sobriety. My marriage got stronger, my friendships got closer, and I think …
Oooh boy. I am having quite a lot of feelings in a week that it’s not great to have this many feelings. Typically, I “pride” myself on being a very…unemotional person. Outwardly, at least. (There’s actually nothing prideful about this, it’s much better to feel your feelings.) I keep my cards close and my heart …
The weekend is over, the retreat has finished, and I’m flying home now. Always my least favorite part of any trip, to be honest. Home isn’t exactly….a place I enjoy. Im struggling to find the words I need to talk about my weekend, how it went, how it felt…I’ve started a few posts and deleted …
You, me, your friends, your family…that one person who you think is so epically flawless and put together….Every single one of us struggle. Yes, some more than others, but at times, all of us. No one is immune to it. No one skates through this life without collecting their own set of scars and cuts …
