hi.

[emptysinkeuphoria]

I feel some semblance of hope for 2018.  Maybe it’s because it’s only January and the whole year lies ahead of us.  Maybe it’s because my brother will finally get out of prison.  Maybe it’s because of all the changes that have occurred over the last year (good & bad).  Maybe it’s trying to accept shit for what it really is instead of living in denial.  Ignorance may be bliss, but you still end up looking ignorant.   What will I focus on this year?

Gratitude + Self-care + Forward movement

This was me at the beginning of 2016. I had no idea how hard this year would be. I sincerely hope next year kicks this year’s ass. I’ve never dealt with such high levels of anxiety and stress for such a prolonged period of time. My body needs a break.

But some good came out of this year. I married my best friend (sounds cliché but it’s the truth), and I have a better paying job. Here’s to hope and good health for 2017. 🍻

Thankful for weekends.

I’m still here.

More to come.

Are we really halfway through September?

Hey.

[emptysinkeuphoria]

Am I moving forward or just standing still?

working six days a week is _________ (fill in the blank)

i’m tired in every sense of the word

i keep seeing things like “say yes and figure it out later” and “everything is going to be great, just keep on keepin on and you’ll see” -- you know, stuff like that, and.. it helps a little, but a small part of me can’t help but to be a cynic, i just see images of people who wake up one day and wonder where their lives went, and i want more than that honestly

today’s been tough.  lots of worrying.  sometimes it’s really hard to be away from my family.

It was a typical Saturday night over here.

I call this my I’m-so-over-this-day-but-at-least-someone-made-me-pizza look.

You ever feel so angry and overwhelmed at life that you feel like you’re gonna burst?  That was me after work.  What can I say....at least tomorrow’s Friday.  I need a fucking vacation.

[emptysinkeuphoria]

I’m glad it’s finally nice out, but DAMN is it hot in here.

I'm getting married...

Life's been a blur lately.

Christmas is soon and I'm excited to see my family and have a little break from work.

I turned 27 yesterday.  Probably my favorite birthday so far.

December's almost gone.

Time is flying by.

I feel rundown today.  Like my immune system decided to take a break but forgot to tell someone to cover him while he's out for a smoke.
