Just a nerd mom to a silly girl named Maggie

Stranger

I saw someone I didn’t recognize today.

Only standing a few feet away.

They watched with a sorrow in their eyes,

And much to my surprise,

Turned off the bathroom light

And walked away.

Day 1: What's your biggest fear? Why are you afraid of it?

Without a doubt my biggest fear is being alone. I wish I knew the real reasons behind it but I suppose a large part of it is because I would feel like a failure. Particularly now after the downfall of my marriage and his cheating it really makes me question if I will end up alone.

Gods I feel empty.

When you're mom makes you feel like shit for being an adult and trying to take care of your mental state by asking her to change her 2 over night stay to just a day visit.

Sigh.

Learning to fix your self esteem is so hard. Especially when you're realizing your feel more worth while and attractive when it's clear someone is into you.

I want to get drunk and dance

[maggiesnerdmom]

I am growing. I am learning. I am becoming stronger. More positive.

I am catching my negative habits and stopping myself before I go to deep. I am shifting my emotional support from him to friends that I didn’t realize could be a support system for me.

I have been taking pictures of myself to work on my self esteem. Really taking a look at myself. I am starting to do progress pictures because I never had for how my workouts are coming along.

“The skin that you are in is beautiful. You don’t have to be lighter. You don’t have to be darker. You don’t have to lose your scars. You don’t need to hide your stretch marks. You don’t need to wear make up unless you like it. There is no addendum or asterisk to that statement. The skin you are in is beautiful. Period. End of.”

— Nikita Gill, The Skin You Are In
