what goes on in my head can be scary

By
I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I get that and I am okay with that.

I don't have a lot of friends. I've learned over the years it is about quality and not quantity. I have found lately that I don't have the best quality of friends either. Maybe my standards are too high. Or maybe they aren't high enough.

It is easy to pretend like you don't care. I do it all the time but inside I am screaming like a mad woman about a million different things. I also realize I've become very bitter. My past still lingers and it terrorizes me something fierce.

99% of you have no idea what my "past" is and if I told you, you probably wouldn't believe me. Doesn't matter. It still happened and I know it has changed who I am.

I don't hold grudges but I have a hard time letting go when I need to. I'm not a shrink so I don't know why.

I am going through an abnormal amount of stress in my life right now. I work full time, I've been in college for the last four years, I just took on two additional kids and between work, school, trying to graduate, in between jobs and trying to raise four kids and take care of my husband, I have every single right to lose my ever loving mind. I've come close. Yet somehow, by the grace of God, I've kept it together.

It is true what "they" say. You never know what someone else is going through. You should remember that.

Compassion is hard sometimes. I have always considered myself a very compassionate person but over the years, that has changed a lot. Sometimes, I really just don't give a damn.

I am vulgar at times, I have a foul mouth when I'm cranky, I am not a morning person, I have a twisted and deranged sense of humor. Some times I find funny, you might not. That does not make me a bad person. It just means we have different taste. Don't judge me.

I am not perfect. Don't ever forget that. The one person in this world who was perfect died for it.

Sometimes I have to say these things to remind myself that I am human. I make mistakes and I am ok with that. Maybe I write this so that I can learn to be more ok with me.

What few friends I have vary between bible thumpers and atheists. I guess that is what makes my friendships so amazing. I get a wide perspective on life and I love it.

courage

By
My life really only started when I turned 30. Sure, that sounds crazy. But there is a significant difference in “life” and actual living. It is having the courage to walk away from something so painful and so toxic. It is having faith that no matter what foot you step out on, God is going to be in step with you. It is taking that first deep breath, exhaling all the negative and nastiness in your life and going forward, reassuring yourself you will never have to look back. And I didn’t. I have this tattoo on my shoulder. I put it there so I’d see it all the time. It’s a constant reminder to me. It says “courage is fear that has said it’s prayers”. I don’t remember how I came across it but it was not long after my brain surgery. That one quote means everything to me. The course of events that has taken place in my life over the last seven years has been nothing short of a miracle. February 17th is an important day to me and one I will remember like my birthday or my anniversar...

every day

By
Sitting in the parking lot of Hardee's today, I turned my radio off and just looked around. I watched the numerous cars as they passed by. I watched clouds roll in from the rain. I just stared off, thinking about this place that I call home. It has been my home for the better part of 20 years. It brings me comfort and peace. I feel safe here. Growing up as a military kid, I never knew what home was. I hold on to that sense of safety and security but not naive to the fact that we do not live in a perfect world. Violence can be seen in the news daily; so much so that I grow tired of watching. It's depressing. This morning was no different. Senseless killing of innocent people has been happening in our world for generations. Why is it only recently that more and more people take notice? Because it's hitting way too close to home and people are beginning to realize that life is precious and cannot be taken for granted. Sadly, most people figure that out when it's too late...

my greatest accomplishment

By
If I ever become a statistic, the odds will always be in my favor. I’m a stubborn girl. I always have been and always will be. I buck the system every chance I get because I have always wanted to be outside of the norm. Normal is overrated. I am the odd ball, the loner and the awkward one. I’m perfectly okay with that. I’ve always had big dreams for my little boy but most importantly, I just wanted him to succeed at life. I prayed for him from the day he was born that he would become great and wonderful and every single moment that passes with him, my prayers have been answered. You probably think I boast and brag on him too much. So what? What mother isn’t prideful of her children? But you have to understand the journey. Me and that kid have been through so much together. He saved my life. Most of you know my story. I left home at the end of my junior year in high school, three months later, I got knocked up and I lived with a friend until three months after Nathaniel wa...
