Trigger Warning: suicide attempt, suicide ideation, self harm –more trigger warning details listed before discussing, not graphic Wow… it’s already September, the end of it. My apologies.

the end of the pessimistic era.
This is the end of my pessimistic era. I had been down for four years. For four years I lost myself in addiction. I was functioning, sure, but I’ve basically smoked everyday for the last four years. I was lost in pity and self-doubt. No self-worth to be found, barely any self-respect, and limited honesty…

break it down
Tasks and things we need to get done throughout the day can be daunting. Then pack on life goals and ambitions and it just becomes totally overwhelming. That’s how I feel like 24/7 hahaha! I have been learning on my own, and then my therapist backed it up, that I set too many big and…

childhood
I’m a traumatized woman, I was angry and hurt, and ignored. Time and time again. Told to “Shut up, be quiet, or I’ll give you something to cry about”. That type of home, Oh, but the joy! The memories that I cannot fathom. Except, for the dark ones. The ones i should forget. But no, …

sobriety
Honestly, sobriety scares the shit out of me. Well, it used to. I have come to realize that life is truly better sober. I experience more, feel more, think more clearly, and love more. I do not isolate or disappear from people’s lives. My thoughts are much nicer and my mind is a kinder place. …

addiction
To be fair, if you know you know. The vicious cycle. The pain and the darkness. Feeling stuck, trapped in the pit of your own mind. Lost. Trapped. Scared. An unreachable itch, scratching you from the inside out. Thinking it is “your only way out”. I thought that it provided a kind of peace. It…

the comeback
hi y’all, she’s back! Thanks be to God and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Truthfully, I should not be here but by His grace and mercy, here I am. Sorry guys, you’re stuck with me! Life is good. Not all the time, but God is good, so it is. I felt called to write…
