Searching...

I know there's a light at the end of this tunnel. This is the process of me finding it.

I appreciate the rain for falling tonight. Walking with an open umbrella helped to hide the tears I could no longer contain.

Feeling unheard.

And it's killing my vibe.

Things I'm Learning

While you don't get to choose your family, you do get to choose the other folks that you allow into your life. You should demand respect from them all. But, if you're like me and from a family that largely doesn't give a fuck about your feelings, the least you can do is not tolerate other folks who do the same. Why punish yourself twice? Distance yourself from the difficult relatives (as much as you can). And if you can't communicate honestly and receive what you need/deserve from the "friends", spouses or even colleagues that treat you this way...let them go. Who needs that kind of stress? Why volunteer yourself for such abuse? Life is far too short for the bullshit.

I gave myself permission to feel and experience all of my emotions. In order to do that, I had to stop being afraid to feel. In order to do that, I taught myself to believe that no matter what I felt or what happened when I felt it, I would be okay.
