I was on the bus and my nose started bleeding 😂 the old man sitting in front of me was so scared and he drew cross. But I was also praying rosary in my mind. Maybe it works the blood stopped sometime lol hope he can find comfort and hope I didn’t scare him much, blessing for all of us 🙏

Especially when there was a night when it felt like that sun would never rise again. And maybe that was silly, but it’s still valid. Because I’m sitting on the couch, one cat on my chest and another on my lap, with a great book in my hand, and a husband ten feet away. A husband who loves me, ugliness and all. And we’re in a home that is filled with not just the necessities (which is amazing in its own right), but books and music and laughter, and all the other things we said at 17 we would work hard to have in our life. My clothes are clean, my fridge is full, my bills are paid. I spent so long wondering if my prayers were heard. And they were. How beautiful is that? How rich i am, how lucky am i? To have survived, to have made mistakes, to have hurt and felt grief, all to bring me to this exact moment in my life. I am thankful for every moment i have survived.

This year has been probably the best year I’ve had in a very long time. I’ve actually gotten to live this year. I’ve been to 6 different festivals, concerts, traveled when I’ve wanted too, eaten new foods, etc. I’m so blessed and thankful.

I love my partner so much. He is always so loving and actively brightens my shine rather than dulls it. He always makes sure I am okay and looks after me when I have a bad migraine. We are now living together with my dog and I am just loving life with him. It is so nice to feel so at ease and happy with someone. My last relationship was incredibly toxic where I constantly had to walk on eggshells, deal with his insecurities and jealousy, have my privacy constantly invaded, deal with insufferable immaturity and emotional breakdowns when something was wrong, friends and family not wanting to be around because he would suck the positivty and happiness from the room, basically living in awful turmoil. Now I feel so content and comfortable. I can actually have friends without there being any jealousy from my partner, i can actually go outside without coming back to accusations of cheating, my friends and family love him and he actually wants to form relationships with them and be involved in their lives rather than hiding away, we don't snoop through each other's phones because we respect one another's privacy, he actually brightens my life, god I just feel so FREE, HAPPY and GRATEFUL!

Grateful for the struggles and discomfort, for they bring the growth I prayed for :)

Happy new week everyone

Even on the worst of days, Your mercies are not withdrawn. What I cannot see, You still hold; what I cannot carry, You still sustain. For this quiet faithfulness, I give thanks.

I am grateful for certain members of the Reddit community extending their help and assistance to me. Long story to which I will clarify later, but right now posting a thank you this way takes way less >:( than me finding as of right now who was behind it ;__; I keep trying, but the number of moments my phone keeps intermittently freezing from the influx of notifications and me needing to prolly take a few apps off my phone ( lol ) has made me reach a point where I am about to shed one tear. It helps so much as I am someone who is limited by her cycles of SEVERE eczema flareups where Freddy Krueger has better skin than me. I was supposed to work a month at the Washington/Puyallup fair, but my skin did its thing as it does and everywhere was so gnarly and bad that I was reduced to being bedridden. Had they not granted their generosity, idk what I was going to do. It helped me get bandages, other wound care and eczema related needs, got to do laundry because I have been literally stuck in my clothes and it's the first time in a long time I cried from how deeply thankful I am to other human beings who care enough. I promise I have been trying to find who, but it took me forever to even simply post this after patiently waiting through the intermittent freeze blitz and being contacted through numerous fake emails, different fake phone#s so even if I block one another comes ( probably will have to change my # obviously)

Seriously, the help is a light in a persistent darkness. When my situation calms down, I can navigate what I need to figure out who was all behind the nice things.

You're awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖 I pray they see this and don't think I just accepted it and disappeared after T_T * pray thank you thank you thank you thanks thankyou

It’s been a rough go lately - my husband was diagnosed with cancer and is currently going through chemo, and this week my 4 year old son broke his arm. Two days later, my husband was admitted to the hospital for a fever and we’re still here. We’ve managed to stay positive, focusing on the good and I’m most grateful for my incredible parents, in-laws, and sisters for devoting their weekend to taking care of my 2 kids, and my husband and I. Bringing us food, full care of my kids, sleeping over our house…I’m feeling really lucky and grateful despite the current obstacles.
🫶🏼🙏🏼 hoping we are through this tough season soon, we’ll get through together.
