Bullies
It’s sad that as an adult that I find myself being bullied at work. I would figure adults would behave better but I guess not. What bothers me even more is I know I could report the person (and probably will) but a part of me still feels helpless and angry that as an adult I should be able to stand up for myself but I don’t. I don’t want to go to ( Read more... ) -
Surrounded Alone
Sometimes it’s easy to feel alone when I get a lot of negative feedback and when those that are close to me just are in their own worlds/routines.
Today was an emotional hangover kind of day and changes are coming. I just need to talk it out with someone but I don’t have anyone to do that with. Oh well, I’ll hash it out inside my head and it’ll ( Read more... ) -
Non-White Lives Matter
This won’t be an easy post to make. I’ve never considered myself a racist person, I have always told myself and others that I am color blind. But recent events have caused me to start analyzing my thoughts and beliefs and questioning a lot of things. I’m happy to see the strides being made in regards to non-white (I don’t say Black because there ( Read more... ) -
The Half Side
I'm still trying to process what I'm going to write about. As I wrote previously, I have been talking to a first cousin once removed on my paternal father's side of the family. This is the only person I have ever talked to on that side of the family.
Until this weekend Laurie did have much information on my side of the family, her aunt Peggy is ( Read more... ) -
Finding Family
I never thought in my life that I would ever have contact with anyone on my paternal father's side of the family. I wrote a person on 23andme (it was the wrong person) but she wrote back and gave me so much information that my head is spinning. No information on my dad though, she didn't know much about him, my grandmother on my paternal father's ( Read more... ) -
Comfort Pet/Discomfort Pet
I know there are a lot of people that swear by their family pet being their "comfort pet", they are now allowed where only service dogs used to be allowed. They are allowed on airplanes and in stores, etc ( Read more... ) -
Does It Have to Hurt?
At some point in time a person close to us will hurt us. When you’re close or bonded, it will usually pass quickly. Tonight I think to myself that there would be no hurts or pains if there was no drinking. If only I could have this one wish. -
Being a Twin
Being a twin is a great thing but then again, I don't know what it's like not being a twin, I can only imagine. I figure I never had to start school alone; I had my sister even though we were not in the same classes, and we didn’t have to walk there alone. I always had a best friend; I wouldn’t trade being a twin for anything ( Read more... ) -
May 22, 2016
This is one of the happiest days of my life. It was our two year anniversary so we decided to go up for a hike, it was a perfect day for one. We reached a nice overlook and sat down. John says to me, "I know we have always said we would spend the rest of our lives together but if I were to ask you to marry me, would you?" I of course said yes ( Read more... ) -
A Week in the Life Of - What an amazing week
I had an absolutely wonderful weekend last weekend. John Peper came over Saturday after he got off work and spent the night with me. Interjection: I love spending time with him, he’s just completely amazing. The next morning we went and had some breakfast and decided to drive up to Wyoming to have lunch at a restaurant that was recommended to me ( Read more... )
