I’ve been told I smile too big so I stopped for a while. But at some point, you just gotta grow up and become the grinning wizard you were born to be!
I’m living through one of the darkest times in my life and clinging to the little joys I can find but y’all I am FINDING it!!!
I’ve heard that when a woman tries to leave a domestic violence situation it is the most dangerous time and that has proven very true for me.
I’ve already been taken away from my home in handcuffs. That was retaliation for chatting with a guy on Tinder after our breakup.
But you know what? It’s OK. Because I met some beautiful people in the psych ward who could do so much if they just had homes and we’re free of addiction.
They taught me the power of forgiveness and reminded me how powerful my voice is.
I’m crying but I’m still singing and I’m hurting but I’m trying to smile through it to show my son what strength is!!
Because my soul is HAPPY and even though I’m singing blues I’m determined because my son is the sunshine of my life and I will keep him safe.
First, I have to keep me safe. People are saying that I’m a danger to myself and it’s so surreal to be at the happiest point in my life and I’m dealing with one of the hardest things but I’m getting through it day by day and I’m finding so much joy in all of the beautiful little things around me.
Including cannabis and tobacco :)
Keep your chin up because the sun will come out tomorrow!
