Long and vulnerable post. Do yourself a favor by asking if you're emotionally available to accept what she's about to share in this post. It will help you decide if you should move on. __ I usually save this post for Friday, but I needed to share today. A couple of weeks ago I was sitting in the same spot (on the toilet) thinking about how to be a light for those that I speak to frequently. It seemed like everyone was going through something but me. Being someone that's a helper I wanted to be supportive anyway that I could. It didn't work out that way, and it seemed like everyone was getting annoyed with me. Well now, things have turned topsy-turvy for me. Just a lot of sh*t that I don't share on here that's starting to pile up. I've wanted to cry to relieve the frustration, but haven't had a safe space to do it in because this is the time I need to be strong for my kids. And I don't have anyone local that I can be extremely vulnerable with that isn't already dealing with their own sh*t. I am thoroughly frustrated and tired of people not listening to me. I feel alone, tired, financial stretched and sexually frustrated. I know these feelings will pass and I will eventually find my safe space to cry (probably in my truck away from my home while eating ice cream) until then I will do what I must do. On a more positive note, I am thankful for small favors as meditation has helped me stay grounded and prevented me from overreacting. Do you have a safe space where you can be vulnerable? And what techniques do you use to remain grounded? #somethingsabouther #meditatewithme #lifehappens #sicklecellcaregiver #remaingrounded Art: @kennedygrays_art (at Avondale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuIjSDdFYsA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=do9sskhgmdy4
