Good morning. It has indeed been a while since I last had a good and slow morning to ground myself. I got my booster shot for covid yesterday and experienced some of the side effects. For the first time in 8 months at my not so new work; I took a pause and used my leave. To be honest,  I still feel physically capable of working but the truth is I’m exhausted mentally. It’s been a brutal ride for my mental health transitioning to another company, juggling two jobs for a month barely getting enough sleep, relationships ending, losing the people I love to different illnesses, my deep seated fears of not being good enough – sometimes all of these strike me all at once that it kind of paralyzes me.  But I still show up, everyday, like I don’t struggle to merely survive.  I’m still so hard on myself whenever I do not meet any expectations or if I do not excel or if I am not doing as much as I thought I should.

And then you keep living

     I figured it out.      My life, of course.      Life's been pretty shitty lately. I've been feeling shitty.

And he's everything I fucking want.      My heart keeps on making poor decisions and I fucking hate it.      I am not proud to be so hung up on such stupidity but this shit has been weighing me down. I feel like a fucking loser who couldn't live up to the girl he wanted. I so desperately want to b...

Owning My Wins

 My February has been filled with so much blessing and of goals coming to life that I feel like I got lucky. I tend to downplay my wins and blame everything on luck. This month taught me that: -           Things meant for you will eventually find you -           I still love reading fantasy books -           I am already good and still in the process of getting better I finally found a job that I could love after months of doubting if I’d ever find one. I was ready to settle with whatever job I could find because it’s been eight months since my previous work, and I feel like I’m starting to get rusty in what I do. I’ve been through a lot of self-doubt nights where I would cry and feel so purposeless. I thought I’d hit jackpot when I landed on this job. It was a tedious process of interviews and I thought I just wouldn’t get it, but I did. ...
