What a Year It's Been

What a year it has been. It's taught me so many things about living life in this wild, wild world. It's not as innocent and simple as I want it to be or thought of it.

I also have to learn how not to take things personally when people think badly of me. I tend to blame myself for things when someone thinks badly of me.  Inside my head, the self blame is so loud that I find myself degrading myself.

Then I lose my self confidence.

Honestly, some people say I appear stuck up. In actual fact, it's that I lack so much confidence in myself. I tend to believe what people tell me.

Like what my ex said of me living a life of luxury and spend like crazy and that I am useless. I believed that.

There's a guy who's after me and I find myself thinking that he's going to find all kinds of faults with me and ditch me. He's not serious and playing around with me, that's all.

That's what all guys like him do, anyway. I don't know it for a fact but I know he's not the serious kind.

On another note, some people can be damn cruel. The landlord was saying some of the meanest things that I've ever heard. His words were 'just leave' and 'just go peacefully your own way'. He's tell me to get out of his life/way and he won't cause me pain. And he's told me time and time again that he CAN and WILL cause me pain. A lot of pain and he'll make sure I suffer as much as he can.

That's his threat and warning.

How do I continue staying in this house when the owner is giving these kind of threats? And yet, at the back of my mind, I find myself finding faults with myself. Yes, it's my fault, some of it is warranted, but not everything is.

It's time to take stock and do the best I can with my lot in life and stop blaming not just myself but others.

There isn't a point in doing all of this.

We just need to acknowledge what has happened, how it feels like, take the lesson and move on.

Prompt - Describe My Favorite Drink

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

A Sweet Life

Bad news comes along everyday but last year alone, quite a few bad news struck me. The timing was like a mechanical pendulum. I thought to myself several times that I had enough, that what I needed was a break. A 10 day retreat where I am required to speak to no one, do nothing, listen to silence and nature and just be what I am meant to be.  But real life is not something you can escape for a long period of time. I served my silence....but reality will pendulum-swing back. A friend passed away after being in a coma for a few months. I know both husband and wife and they've always been really positive about handling the toughest of life situations. We may not agree with everything, but we do agree on many. During the time she was unconscious, I prayed every single day. I kid you not.  Her husband would report about her condition, good or bad, and I would either offer thanks or pray for good news and strength. Even during the worst hit moments, I kept the posi...

Feeling a Little Better

After all that fighting with the first week of meds, I finally feel like I am slightly more human and I can even consume food without throwing up anymore! It's a big celebration at the dinner table, it's a big celebration in the room and it's also a big celebration on the inside of me.  Taking care of myself has never been as important as last month when the sickness took over every single aspect of my life, every second of my life, and every ounce of my energy. When you're well, it's OK to fight all the way to planet Pluto and back  because you have it together. But when you're sick, there's nothing more humbling than your body telling you that you absolutely CANNOT.  Being this way has everything to do with being a single mother. Being alone or lonely was never much of an option for me and that has to do with the way I was brought up and the way I grew up. I had to fasttrack a lot of things and many times, when I failed, I had to pick everything u...
