Either A Blessing Or A Lesson.
I was going to send you a pm but figured I'd say this publicly cuz I'm a G and I do what I want!
Do you know how truly and utterly awesome you are? Every time I read something from you it's like a big ole hug from the universe. You're such a sweet, genuine e-presence and you are both the blessing and the lesson described in my avatar.
Hope that this isn't a façade and she's a serial killer or worse a Republican offline.

Not a republican or a serial killer! I promise

. TBH I probably would say something further if a friend/family was having a long standing problem and we were chatting about it in person. Text was not a good place for it.

Please don’t quote, but I seriously need to type this out loud. I’m gonna probably delete this.
Y’all, I am so sick and freaking tired. Ok the mom has been babysitting since I’ve gotten this part time job, little over a year. I pay her for that and laundry too.
However, I think I have reached the end of my rope: She has been sloppy drunk on two separate occasions. I don’t have a problem with this as she’s a grown woman and she can do what she wants. But, NOT WHILE I’M PAYING YOU TO WATCH MY
KID!!! She knows he has behavioral problems in school. Like you know I’m already freaking stressed, why tf would you do this to me? Every freakin time I try to have a piece of a life and try to be a responsible adult and take care of my child, I end up having to quit my dang job and rely on public assistance. I can’t even afford a real babysitter’s rate. I am so freakin resentful of this. I try to make the best out of the situation, but I’m exhausted. So exhausted. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I’m tired of being my mom’s parent.

Thanks, you’re the best.
Had a great life coaching session last night and came up with my life purpose statement. It was such a cool exercise and you can do this at any point in your life to kinda point you in the right direction and let you know what's in your heart and what path to take. Amazing. Feeling pretty good today.

So I’m at this event right now for a girls night out Meetup group and it’s at a drive in theatre and there’s food trucks and entertainment before the movie comes on and I think I’m the only one who showed up since a lot of people cancelled last minute and the ones that are still on the ‘going’ list haven’t said anything. But I’m low key excited to be able to pig out on my teriyaki quesadilla, sip wine and watch Hocus Pocus by myself lol.

I stopped going to meet ups for that very reason. People never showed up. It could be a 100 people RSVPing and only 1-2 people show up. Enjoy your Drive in Movie! It sounds so cool. I’m at the movies right now waiting to watch Crazy Rich Asians but they are having trouble with the projector. They promised everyone free passes because of the delay, but I hope they can get it going. I drove 45 minutes to see this movie. (Sigh)

They’re having issues starting the movie here too lol. Crazy Rich Asians is a really good movie. Enjoy!

Thanks! The movie never started so we got free passes and a refund. I’m heading home now. I’ll just watch it on Netflix when it’s out of theaters.

I really could use a hug. My life is going to right now, and I don’t even have a reliable support system. Flaky family, no friends...*sigh*

I wish I could block certain websites. Sometimes I'll google something, click on a link and just read the dumbest crap I've ever seen in my life. I have been so spoiled by certain aspects of the way the internet works now where I feel perturbed that I can't just right click and block. Now I'm in a bad mood when I was actually feeling kinda ok today.

I've been depressed lately and couldn't pinpoint what it was initially... Did a bit of digging and a couple of therapy sessions... then realized I was triggered and it brought up a couple of things in my past that I thought I dealt with.
One main thing I was able to hone in on was how I felt about my family and how they have treated me in the last year... the word is "Disposable". This is exactly how they have treated me. I was gutted when I said it out loud. My therapist looked a little shaken when I said it and then we discussed it. I cried all the tears I plan on crying because of this.
I feel better. I'm doing a lot better.

It amazes me how strangers can show more concern for you than people who you think are your friends, especially when you're going through a hard time. Even in the midst of my troubles I never forget about others. Even a quick text with a 'how are you doing' seems to be too much for some people. My mind boggles
