Independent woman, mom of four, kicking mental illness's ass.
I’ve not been as active in keeping up with the news lately, as I’ve been preoccupied lately. After losing my job, I needed to focus on moving on to bigger, better things so I could continue to provide for my kiddos. And now I have a job that I love! It’s hard work but I’m a boss babe. I got this! 💪🏽

I’ve been doing well in managing my depression lately, remembering my medications. Tonight I feel sad though and my heart is hurting. Between coming up on the day of my grandma’s passing and the old familiar feeling of being non deserving of real love, I’m low. And tears roll down my face easily. 🖤

I don’t think that they understand that we will double down and 100% just not have health insurance then pay those ridiculous premiums. But congratulations Congress. Just know that in the long run, your
workforce is going to wither much faster because we aren’t gonna pay it. I’d rather die.

I will never forgive people for voting for this dumbass apricot in power. Karma is a bitch and I hope it swallows them all whole.

It’s hard to be the person you want to be all the time.

Don’t stop trying.

I am not afraid to keep on living. I am not afraid to walk this world alone.

I think I need a personal assistant like people need support animals.

Avril Lavigne was always that pop punk princess, but her ballads are always a hit. Especially in collaborations. Iris with the Goo Goo Dolls, I’m With You with YUNGBLUD. It’s easy to see she’s been through some shit, she sings from her heart.

I’ve never been a wine drinker. In fact, awful experience as a teenager. 🤣 but the older I get, I feel like I’m supposed to be that mom drinking a glass of wine each night. Like mother like daughter. I just can’t get myself to do it quite yet. 😅

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.

That’s not making America great again.
South Shore Residents Return To Ransacked Apartments After ICE Raid: 'It Looks Like Hell'
A "now renting" sign outside touts granite countertops. Inside, residents are trying to make sense of the raid that made their already neglected building even worse.

I’m told the one for you is someone who would do everything they could to be with you. ‘Move mountains’ is also a common phrase closely resembling this. Whether it’s working on themselves to be with you or simply being present in your life. I hope I find that kind of love.

Is this a black and white scene? If so, then I’m in the grey one.

We can’t be friends but I’d like to just pretend. You cling to your papers and pens, wait until you like me again.

Why is this album so gut wrenchingly accurate? No wonder she won music awards for it. 💔🖤

I would never claim to be Miss Innocent. I was born with a wild side. And I often have to learn things the hard way because I have a soft heart underneath it all. And sometimes, I give the benefit of the doubt, even when my instincts scream the opposite. But once I learn, I don’t repeat the mistake.

My kids will always be my sole reason for staying because they really give me purpose. Having the opportunity to love them, guide and watch them grow up to be wonderful human beings is all I could truly ask for in this life.

I feel so numb to this life trauma after trauma. Depression is winning lately as I enjoy much less the things I love to do. I’m so much exhausted, no amount of rest meets my needs. I’m trying so hard to keep my head above water, but I can feel the current pulling me under over and over again.

Last weekend I went to the apple orchard with my kiddos, and I got this sweet snapshot of my mom and son together. 🥰

I feel like I should begin writing in a journal. But, one, my ADHD will not let me commit to the task for more than a few weeks (a month if I’m lucky). And, two, the secondhand embarrassment I’ll feel when reading it back years from now will be crippling.

I hope it feels so Christian for them all to be corporate sell-outs. To abuse power to boost your ego. Profits over people because god forbid people aren’t fake as fuck and actually have valid feelings that are anything but happy because of life, the state of the country, the state of the world.
