Hello Everyone!…Let’s talk some over coffee

     Hey everyone! Feels like it has been a while since we had a conversation and shared what has been going on with life. Lately with me though it has been good not so many complaints so much. I just wanted to check in with you all and see what you wanted to share and talk about with me and/or each other. I wanted to make this a safe place for everyone to share their stories, anecdotes and such. Or even just to say how your day has been and such. Doesn’t have to be something, or if there’s something big and special happening with you, I will be very happy to read or hear about it. If you are having a rough day, week or whatever is going on why not talk about it as well. Im all eyes and ears. We all need that one safe person we could share something with. I just wanted to share that with you, reason being is because though I was raised by a single parent which I give all props to her my mom, there were times when I wished I had that one person other than my mom to share things with without any judgment just a listening ear. Though there was my younger sister, she was busy with her own life, friends and boyfriend. At the time yes I wished she and I had a better relationship. Even then at times I wish I had that person to talk things with.

    I love my mom, that lady did so much for my sister and I being a single parent, I do not know how the hell she did it. Specially with a such child like my self, a Type One (1) Diabetic. I give her props for all that she did for me and my sister. At times I beat my self and majority of the time Im often hard on my self as well. First off because I was a disgusting piece of s**t. I was too rebellious and often times did wrong. I didn’t want to listen to no one specially my mom at the time. How I treated my mom when I was a teenager was just wrong. At times I wished I could go back in time and change everything I did wrong and make it right. In a way I understand why I did it yet it was not an excuse for me to do such things. I was in an abusive relationship with a guy I was dating from high school. He forced me to stop talking to my mom and my sister. I couldn’t talk to my family, friends, I could not even go to school because of him. I was being mentally, physically, and emotionally abused by this person. It was horrendous. My mom and my sister and some friends did not know how to help me. Hell!! I didn’t even know how to help my self! At the time I felt I was “in love” with him but the truth was I was blinded, and did not want to see the truth from what was really going on. Now as a 32 year old woman thinking back on it all, I realize how stupid and blinded I was by this man. How bad he treated me, I can’t even say his name because, or even date another person with the same name. I remember I say this person once in a casino downtown, I was going in to the restroom, I saw him sitting by one of the slot machines and I started having an anxiety attack, I did tell the person I was dating then about it. He stood by the restroom waiting for me until I was. He covered me so my abuser didn’t see me. I appreciated that so much, before I even told my boyfriend then anything or him even seeing him he knew, by the way I was acting Which in a way that was really nice of him that he protected me from my past abuser. 

    But anyway, all I can do now not that I can repair or make my family forget what I did in the past. All I can try and do is mend it, and prove them that I am not the person I was then. That I have changed, doing better and not with the same antics I was doing then. I am happy now as a single person mm of a fur baby that makes happy everyday! That little dog Mr. Toby my bundle of love wrapped in fur is what keeps me happy, knowing that I have to feed a month is the best thing that has ever happened to me, after my shish-tzu died a few years ago. Toby is a rescue dog, Im not sure how old he is, yet all I can do right now is give him the best life and moments and perhaps memories that I can before he goes over the rainbow hopefully in my arms.

    Often times when me and my mom hangout and we go shopping and thrifting I love it. I love it when me and my mom get to hang out. Of course love talking to her! I feel like the relationship between her and I has had been getting slightly better in a way. For one she and I do not live under the same roof which in a way makes it better because we miss it being together that when she and I get to see each other it makes it better, and we have more things to talk about and share with each other which is great! What I need to now do is try and fix the relationship between me and my sister, which is not going to be easy but I know it can happen. Perhaps I can invite her for coffee or shopping brunch perhaps. And catch up with one another. That shall be one of my next goals to do, I miss her and the good relationship she and I had when we where younger. We shall see when I can happen. For now is all I wanted to share with you guys. 

It’s time to go for me, I hope you guys are having a wonderful day or night wherever you are in the world!



With love,
