A simple woman trying to figure out this crazy thing we call life. If y’all figure it out let me know. Till then laugh instead of cry & love instead of hate.
I literally crave affection. It's not about sex. It's about someone to cuddle with. To lay their head in my lap. I crave hugs, kisses, and holding hands.
Those are the little things that are so important in a relationship and the things I miss the most being alone.
I don't think people realize how much strength it takes to pull yourself out of that dark place mentally. So if you've done that today or any day, I'm proud of you.
Divorce, breaking up, starting over, moving on, being alone. These are all are all ok, what is not ok is staying somewhere you're not valued and appreciated.
Left 2012 & despite the smile I was dying inside. I was being abused in my marriage and didn’t see a way out. Homeless because my husband was drinking and snorting all my money. Right 2022 and I just bought a home, have a great job and amazing friends.

I was recently called an “old soul” and it made me wonder…is that a compliment or is that a sneaky way of calling me old fashioned?
What do you consider a person who’s an old soul to be like?
So this is what 55 looks like. It’s been a quiet day. First time ever I think I’ve taken the day off work. Just me and Bella and puppy snuggles. Some birthday cards and gifts. Now a glass of wine, cheers, and a movie. It’s been a good day other than I’m older...sigh.
22 years ago I was getting married to my 2nd husband. I can’t help but think how different my life is. The marriage was an abusive one both emotionally and physically and I’m lucky to even be here. I’m also proof that there is a way out no matter how hopeless things seem to be💜
Happy New Year to all my friends here. Thank you for supporting me and sharing this year with me. Here’s to a wonderful new year and looking forward to more love, peace and friendship 💜
Gave in and went with some Christmas nails…toes too of course. 💅🏻
Not a huge fan of red polish but it’s a bright and cheerful red and it’s has glitter so I let her talk me into it.
Have you ever wanted to text someone and tell them how you felt so you typed it out, but you decided it wasn't a good idea so you just backspaced everything and didn't send anything at all?
I can't promise a relationship without arguments and differences, but I can promise that as long as you're trying, I'm staying. As long as you hold on, I will too because I need both of us to want this to last.
Breaking up is ok, divorce is ok, starting over is ok, moving on is ok, being alone is ok.
What is not ok is staying somewhere you're not valued and appreciated.
I may not be the best looking.
I'm not rich.
I don't have a perfect body.
But...
I have a good heart.
I'm kind and I'm there for those who care about me.
Happy birthday to me let’s see what 57 has to bring. A little present to myself I had my tattoos touched up. I was never really happy with the butterflies and my rose was so old. I absolutely love what the artist did with them.
Depression doesn't really feel like sadness to me... it feels like exhaustion, irritability, no motivation, no desire to do the shit I love doing and more.
Being depressed is worse than just being "sad".
Never again will I beg someone to love me. Never again will I allow someone to make me feel as though I'm not good enough. Never again will I question my own self worth.
Real love and acceptance will never make you question who you are and what you deserve.
I know I'm hard to love. Some days I'm all smiles and others there's nothing I want more than to be quiet and alone. Sometimes I get angry about stupid things and won't want to talk to you. Other times I'll think you're the most perfect person ever. Please don't give up on me.
Another beautiful vacation day of nothing but porch time with a good book, sunshine and working on my tan☀️
Sadly my last day of vacation. Back to work on Monday. It’s too soon I need another week!
If you have the courage to make it through a lonely night with nothing but your self destructive thoughts to keep you company, then you have the courage to make it through anything.
Being in a relationship isn't about the kissing, the dates and showing each other off to the world. It's about being with someone who makes you happy, secure and fulfilled in a way no one else can.
