Single Mom Striking Out

Favorite drink? Non-alcoholic? Lol. Coffee because of its aroma and it is an added bonus that it wakes me up (before I go-go) and at this point in time, I try to stay away from Starbucks because it ain't cheap and it is basically sugar-in-a-cup, that stuff. I am continually in love with my three-in-one, yes, boring but faithful. And everyone should be in love with coffee, in my personal opinion. But that is just me. XOXO Marsha

I dont have a very close relationship with both my parents and siblings. It could be my fault or all our faults or none. You see, I am the eldest child and growing up, I have always felt that I was to pave my own way. My parents did not really have the time for me as there were many battles to be fought, financially and as a family. My mom had my brother and my dad had my sister. I was often left alone to tend to myself. Food was there and so was shelter and clothes. But I continued to believe that I have to pave my own way or find an alternative person or persons for 'affection' and 'love'. Hence, I found myself consistently looking outward for some kind of 'completion' of my soul. Little did I know that I was to find it within myself. I WAS already complete but this removal of bond between my family and I had led to people believing that I was selfish or just independent. But I was far from that. My confidence further crumbled when I was faced with dialoy...

Wow. It has been six years since I have posted anything on this blog. It is about time to blog on here again. Simple because sometimes it gets tiring to be so connected to everyone and everything all the time. I have long suspected that the best place for me to retire to is either in the mountains or somewhere quiet....like in the middle of the jungle. Lol Anyway, I am trying to find various other ways to explore my world but there is so much burden and too many things to be responsible for in everyday life. Just like the rest of you, I assume. Unless you are rich and famous and dont have a care in this world then, good for you. Otherwise, it is just us here, all trying to do our best not to sink but to float and find a shoreline.
