Because I promised my therapist I would reach out when I felt like this, I'm choosing to reach out here. This is my only avenue where I can get full attention & I can be myself. This isn't a fun post. I'm just being raw & real. No gifs, no bells & whistles, no funny …

I was thinking about my last post & how I've been trying to make my peace with the fact that it's okay to stick with what works. There might be something bigger & better out there but it's not worth the time, energy, or drama to try to figure it out. To piggyback on that …

Hey... I had some pretty serious shit happen. In the course of a week, I lost two family members (one in my family & one in my SO's family). Remember that awesome aunt I was telling you about? Yeah, she died shortly afterwards. From the time I heard about her being in the hospital to …
