Adulting

Adulting is hard – that’s what I’ve realized

Yesterday morning we woke up to realize our phone lines and wi-fi had been cut (June was crazy busy and with their trip to India my parents must have forgotten to pay it – dad paid the bill it was just late) so I spent part of yesterday on the phone with the phone company trying to get them to lift the suspension only to be told “it’s an automated system the suspension will be lifted as soon as the money reflects in our account” I’m frustrated to no end my parents must come back soon this adulting thing is hard  

Day 3199: Speechless from Aladdin

I won’t be silenced
You can’t keep me quiet
Won’t tremble when you try it
All I know is I won’t go speechless, speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won’t live unspoken
‘Cause I know that I won’t go speechless

– Speechless from Aladdin

Day 3197: I’m Going To Be Okay

The mountains in our lives are often molehills magnified by our own false thoughts– that’s what I’ve realized

It’s 3: 48 PM on day 3197 since I started blogging and I managed to pray, read Bible, spend time outside and work on my 28 For 28 Campaign benefiting charity:water  – we’ve now raised $3 188 of $28 000 with 99 days to go

Recently life has taught me that the mountains in our lives are often molehills magnified by our own false thoughts – all this time I was worried what would happen to me once my parents were no longer here (a long time from now) and it turns out I was worried for nothing my parents have been in india for a week and although I miss them lots I’m fine physically I still eat, change my clothes, go to the bathroom and sleep I guess with the right support and help I’ll be just fine in the present and in the future.

Get Through The Day

Some days all you can do is get through the day and sometimes that’s enough – that’s what I’ve realized

Today I was reminded by life that some days all you can do is get through the day and sometimes that’s enough – I want to do everything every day but some days all I can do is get through the day

Going Into Battle For My Mommy’s Right To A Life Outside Of Me

Some people want to know what’s going on in your life so they can judge not help– that’s what I’ve realized

Today I was somewhere and the women there were very curious when my mother was returning and how we were coping I tried to be as polite as possible but the undertone of judgement with which the questions were asked really irritated me especially since nobody asked anything of my father (patriarchy is real). I don’t expect my mother to be tied to me every day of her life but apparently the rest of the world does I will fight for my mom’s right to have a life outside of me she must live, truly be happy and in so doing be an example to all us kids
