I just heard the phrase, “If you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and I don’t think I’ve ever needed to hear anything more
my brother in law is coming to visit us this summer & i’m so so excited to see him! we get to show him all around our city & my husband gets to catch up w his brother!
i’m a little anxious at the thought of my MIL & SIL somehow starting drama since we’re no contact with them but so much more excited than anxious!

this february I’m feeling proud as hell.
-I’m 4 years clean & 3 years self-harm free
-my biggest trauma anniversary passed and i didn’t even realize it
-my husband and I’s relationship is stronger and more stable than ever since setting boundaries with my MIL & SIL
-I’m more confident in myself & my spirituality than I’ve ever been before; for the first time ever my social anxiety isn’t a thought!
from the age of 13 I swore to everyone that I would never make it to 18; the fact that I’m not just alive but I am genuinely thriving for the first time in my life is nothing short of a dream come true 🥰🩷
this was february 2024 and in january 2025 it already crazy to see how much has happened.
but the biggest is me starting culinary school three weeks ago!! i honestly wasn’t sure i’d ever go back to school at this point but i’m so so excited and feel so amazing already being back in school.
i’m just feeling so grateful!! 🥰🩷

I want to add “I’ve never been hated by someone I’d want to trade places with” bc it’s another that really resonates with me 🩷

this quote helped me so much earlier this year when going no contact with my mother in law & sister in law and im so happy that so many other people have resonated w it! 🥰🩷
Oh mama, I'm just having fun On the stage in my heels ♪
Ain’t no country boy quitter!!
I haven't prayed to god in a church in ages. I pray in libraries, in fields, in the summer heat and in the first bite of a warm meal.
I don't pray to god anymore, I don't think I ever did.
I pray to the world around me, to the bugs in the fields, the sunflowers on the side of the road, the water in my garden and to the rain coming down.
I pray to everything beyond this world, to the stars, the planets, all the different masses that fill the space around us.
a little positive ramble :)

3 years ago, I was undiagnosed with 4 chronic illnesses, still pretty newly sober, working through extreme trauma, 90 lbs overweight, & living in a new city hours from my family & friends.
around the same time, I was diagnosed with cPTSD and started EMDR, which changed my life. I felt a bit better, allowing me to move more and take care of my mental health, and within 7 months I was back down to a healthy weight.
last november, after 7 years of hospitals stays, I was diagnosed with POTS, hypermobile EDS, and MCAS, and my life changed again. I finally had the tools and the medication to feel somewhat better and it’s been incredible.
last week I was diagnosed with another chronic condition, and while it was scary, I know that each diagnosis has allowed me to change my life for the better.
I feel healthy & confident for the first time ever, and I know that this diagnosis is going to give me the same tools to continue feeling the same.
