āTay where you been?ā
I am so glad you asked, let me tell you.
Even though my mom died in 2020, my grief didnāt really hit until 2022 when my step dad got remarried and is currently still overwhelming me. New wifey is great, but my relationship with my step dad (who has raised me since I was 2) has become incredibly strained and difficult due to his personality clashing with mine.
In July of 2024 I gave birth to my daughter who is wonderful and perfect. I almost died during child birth and it was extremely traumatic. I am still not back to myself 6 months later- mentally I am well but physically I struggle.
Between being a new mom without my mom, working 40 hours at a hospital in a demanding environment, the ever straining relationship with my step dad, trying to buy a house (currently renting from my step dad so you can imagine how that is going), writing my first book that Iāve been putting off for well over a year, and in general just trying to survive, I am cut pretty thin.
HOWEVER
I love this community. I have gained confidence in my writing and social skills. I hope to one day be more consistent with writing stories on this platform. I still have many ideas, new and old, to share with all of you. I know many of you may have forgotten Iām here, or been waiting extremely patiently for updates, and I appreciate all of you either way. I promise to start posting again, I just canāt promise you when. But donāt give up on me.
Whether youāre here for the ride or this is your stop, I love you & am grateful for giving me the time of dayā¤ļø
