And yet I've hit a few barriers since the last time I've posted anything.
It's been an interesting and tough 1-2 years since I began this blog.
I've had my up and downs.
Highs and lows.
Pregnancy and loss.
Dealing with all of the grief that comes with it.
Wanting to cry every time I see a child.
Thinking to myself, " That could been me..."
Whilst crying on the inside/ Smiling on the outside so none would see my pain and longing.
I just to be like everyone else.
But I'm different. Why is it so hard for me to grasp that fact? I still don't know to this day. And somehow, I just can't accept this most days.
I struggle with sadness/acceptance on a daily basis. Some days are better than others & some days I literally want to sit at home, curled up in my bathtub & let the pain wash down the drain. But I don't. I soilder on, put on a smile to let the world know I'm sorta ok/great(even when I'm not either of those words most days) & carry myself as though nothing is wrong. It's hard & I understand that. But life doesn't just stop because I've reached a fork in the road & don't know which path to take.
But there's always that one person that I'm trying to make happy. To please, to put it simpler wording. I grew up a people pleaser, and came seem to break the habit. Sometimes, I distrust and disgust myself with what/who I've become. And what I'll never be.
I feel as though I let down tons of people daily & that there's nothing I can do to make it right.
Can I smile and try to keep happy for them?
Do I distance myself and let them work out their lives/while also trying the same thing for myself(knowing I'll fail).
I feel as though I'm constantly butting into other people's lives. That I'm interfering with their progress in life's journey.
I just don't know what to do/say/feel.
As though I'm emotionally shut down at times.
I feel helpless as they cry and confess their greatest fears/nightmares. I want to give my precious person/people the world & so much more.
But I can't convey that from my brain to my mouth to form the word(s).
And yet...
I try my hardest to convey what they mean to me.

___________<(-.-<)_______________________
I'm bad at expressing what I truthfully want/need/desire. But one of my best friends knows me well. She knows when I'm just not feeling it & will try get damndest to make me happy or just to see me smile; And I love her for it. 💖
But I feel as though I'm not doing enough for her happiness(anyone's) really. 😨
I feel useless, stupid & a HUGE letdown for all of my friends/ family(near & far).💔
____________<(-.-<)________________________
I honestly can say that up until now, I've made no major discoveries or done something great.
That I'll never discover what I was put here for(other than some cruel joke.
That I'll never accomplish anything at this point and will die with this regret.
To never say I'm sorry/goodbye.
To lose myself/To myself.
