You're just one more hand me down.

Tonight is a night that I shouldn't blog. However, there is something I love so much about writing a blog post when I'm filled with intense emotions. It's therapeutic to me. I don't even know if people still read this blog, I've failed miserably at it. If you've kept up with my blog and still read it, then you'll probably keep reading. If not, at least I have a place to vent right now.

Overall, my life is going amazing. I'm working more than ever and I had finals this week. Monday's class I had a project/presentation due, I ended up getting 100% on it.. which means I ended up with 100% in the class. My second project & final that I had Wednesday was in the class that both tests I've taken in the course I've received 100% on. I've never been more busy in life and I've never done better in my classes.

So life should be absolutely wonderful, right? Oh, wait.. it's life and it's never that simple. It's not even that I'm unhappy, I think I'm just overwhelmed and dealing with too much all at once. I feel like I have people to talk to about things, but I don't have people I can talk to in depth about things I really want to get off my chest. 

It makes it hard to express any feeling other than pure happiness when I know I'm still being watched by people from my old job. People have mentioned horrible things that have been said at my old work about me. I even has my ex-boss text me threatening to sue me 3 hours after I posted on one of my social media accounts that I never knew it was illegal to make an employer pay for broken glasses or when someone walks out on a tab. I also mentioned that I regret never keeping better track of tips since "at a previous job" I was never paid, I only received tips because the tips that ended up being claimed for me equaled out every pay period.. even though I never made enough to get by. Never once did I mention a name, and I still will not. Therefor, suing me for "conduct detrimental to business" is a long shot.

If you've been a reader for a while and you've made it this far, then I will admit that a few months ago I was able to put the past aside and become civil with my ex that I dated for 3 years. It's been both a good and bad thing. It's not something everyone can understand, because it seems like it'd be more complicated than what it simply is. I have no feelings for him in that way, I can honestly say I truly don't believe I ever could. That ship has sailed.

I've been dealing with a lot of personal things that I so badly want to mention, but I can't seem to word them right. However, I'm getting better at admitting my faults. I've been doing better at handling hard situations and standing up for myself. I have moments of weakness, but I'm just powering through them the best that I can. 

I guess I'm just at a weird point in my life. So many things are amazing, yet so many things confuse the hell out of me daily. I'm working on wrapping my head around it all and hopefully sorting out everything.

  1. Life's a bitch. That's the truth. I feel you on the so many personal things that you want to blog about but you can't. Just hang on, it'll get better sometime. At least that's what people keep telling me. lol.

    I haven't blogged in like two weeks. I miss it but at the same time, I really don't have much to say. People that care, will still be there when you come back!

  2. haha. If you didn't say a name they can't sue you, hon (i'm not laughing at you, i'm laughing at how STUPID your ex-boss is). Sorry you're going through this. I feel like that sometimes too lately when there is the right people around to talk to. Hope things get better.

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
