Here's To My Destiny

I was born to a poor family in a hot summer in Indiana in '88. My birth was a rough one and the doctor said I should have been stillborn and that I would have a rough mental journey ahead me... He was right. I've battled mood swings ever since I can first remember. I was only about 3 when I almost stepped into a pond because I thought it would calm me...I would be at peace with myself. No one ever knew my battles.

I kept quiet because I thought people would laugh at me and my problems, and just say it was all in my head and that I was making it all up. Yeah, it is all in my head and that's where my battles are fought...some days are better than others but that doesn't mean I don't struggle. Having mental health problems creates physical problems. Like when I forget to eat or crave sugar etc I end up anemic. When my anxiety kicks in I end up with chest pains. When I'm going through depression I gain weight and have all sorts of gut issues I wish I could see the last of. When I'm spacing out too much I forget to do the basic stuff everyone else does and end up feeling like hiding away forever. When I don't know what to say I don't have real conversations with people for like days at a shot. I'm basically a hermit who lives in town.

But someday this is all gonna make sense, and I'm gonna start seeing the good of it all one day.

Have problems too? Speak up. You're not alone.
So here's to my destiny. I'll battle forward and so can you.

Love you all,

Hey, happy Monday! <3

It's a new week and so:
  • Rise and shine
  • Put a smile on your face no matter what
  • Every little bit of effort counts
  • Let go and let God
  • Believe and stop doubting
  • Focus on the good

It's the little things in life that weighs us down the most, so let's start a new week off by emptying out the unwanted worries from last week.

Hello 2019!

I need to go on a diet but I love food too much lol. But what I don't love is constantly rotating between being dead tired and hyper, as in a constant cycle of 30 minute or so rounds... It gets frustrating!

I haven't been writing lately either. I'm not sure I've even typed anything for months.

On a good note, I've made my own shampoo with essential oils! It works really well and I've even used it as a body wash and facial wash. Good stuff. I like it. Ohh, and I've moved to a new place which I really love--it stays warmer and is closer to the sea!

As the photo says, "I am currently under construction...thank you for your patience". <3
Things I need to do:

* lose weight
* eat healthy
* start biking
* hike more
* write more
* prioritize 
* go to bed early
Things I need to stop:

* thinking I'm not good enough
* pigging out on junk food
* letting my emotions ruin my life
* being insecure about everything
* thinking I'm depressed but I really need a long nap because I'm just tired and grouchy
* not finishing things
I need to post my to do and to stop lists more often so I can hold myself responsibly for ticking them off successfully at the end of X amount of days/weeks. Or whenever I do my next post.

Have a great night, everyone! I gotta go to bed and sleep, tomorrow night it better be earlier. I'm too tired to think right now, but watch--minute I put my head on the pillow all sorts of thoughts are gonna wake me back up lol. Hope not.

​See you later--

Merry Christmas To You! x

It's that time of year again.

Just had two rounds of the sick bug that's going round. Made me miss going back to America for Christmas, too. Oh, and did I tell you that I was moving as well? All within the same time period? I got me some probiotics so my little germies should be going on their way *here's hoping!* and now I can finish moving so I can at least enjoy the holidays in peace.

Christmastime should be the happiest time of the year. To many, it is. But to those who are suffering or are missing their loved ones, I just want you to know that I'm throwing a load of love out there for you guys and I hope you catch it! <3

To everyone, MERRY CHRISTMAS and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

​If you read free fiction, starting tomorrow until Christmas Day, all my ebooks are free in your Amazon Kindle Store--go check tomorrow, you're welcome!

​God bless us everyone.
