I cracked the cord. at least I think so.

conventional minds and limited beliefs ick me because I'm a slave whenever I'm in their sorrounding.

literally or physically.

my expressive self goes missing when I realize my audience will use my words against me,

words curated to suppress my individuality in the name of guidance and correction.

I stay within my safe habitat because many are the times going outside means brushing shoulders with fragile egos,

misinformation and often the lack of it makes them think I'm in a competition with them, when often I'm just simply existing in the energy that comes natural to me; masculinity.

I avoid posting some things because I don't have the energy to settle their conventional beliefs. I can only afford the luxury of laughing myself to sleep.

eventually I keep so many things to myself. even though I prefer to just put things as they are.

God bless the souls that allow me to put things as they are and just be who I am without asking questions that scream naivety.

and even to those with questions but do not have the guts to come for my eye, bless you too for being meek. the earth is yours to inherit.

Life is a series of storms. I've weathered so many of them. Sometimes I get tired of fighting, but I know each one is a lesson to learn, not to weaken me, but to strengthen. They shake things up when you have gotten too complacent. New challenges, discomforts that only make you grow and transform.

e.v.e.

Learn critical thinking. Look it up on YouTube. It’s so important to know to handle life’s challenges

Critical thinking is the ability to objectively analyze and evaluate information, arguments, or situations, consider evidence, alternative perspectives and ideas, and logical reasoning to make informed and reasoned conclusions about any complex issue or topic!

It even comes with questioning your own views and ideas and opinions and listening to the other side with an open mind!

To think critically, you HAVE to be willing to admit you may be wrong in your initial thoughts.

Back to basics.

:(:

Amidst the quiet corners of my mind, where shadows dance like specters of forgotten dreams, there exists a world of whispers and sighs. It's a place where the sun never quite reaches, where the moon hangs heavy with the weight of unspoken sorrows. In this world, I am but a ghost, haunting the edges of my own existence, a phantom of what once was.

I walk through life with a smile on my lips, a mask to hide the storm raging within. People see me as a girl with a glint in her eye, full of life and laughter. They don't see the cracks in the facade, the darkness seeping through the edges. They don't know that every smile is a battle won against the tide of despair threatening to pull me under.

My days are spent in a haze of numbness, a blur of meaningless routines and empty conversations. I go through the motions, pretending that I belong in this world, that I am a part of something greater than myself. But deep down, I know the truth. I am adrift in a sea of indifference, a lone vessel tossed about by waves of apathy.

Sometimes, late at night when the world is asleep and the silence is deafening, I allow myself to feel. I let the darkness engulf me, wrapping its cold tendrils around my heart. In those moments, I am free to embrace the emptiness, to revel in the abyss that threatens to consume me whole.

But then morning comes, and with it, the need to pretend once more. I paint on my smile, I play my part, and I push the darkness back into the corners of my mind. I am a master of deception, a weaver of illusions. And so, the world sees what I want it to see, a girl with her whole life ahead of her, a girl with no reason to be sad.

But they don't know the truth. They don't know that behind the mask, I am drowning in a sea of sorrow, struggling to find my way back to the surface. And maybe, just maybe, I'll find the strength to break free from the chains that bind me, to let the darkness fade into the light. But for now, I am content to be a ghost, haunting the edges of my own existence, a shadow in a world of light.

Anybody can run... it's easy.

Who will stay... whoa, that's tough

Facing life's struggles is the toughest as those things are always hanging around. Changing our perspective of them is our task so they won't overwhelm us, where we can have some peace of mind in our everyday activities. THAT'S the real challenge.

My grandmother died today. And nothing feels quite real. I heard my mother’s voice on the phone as I got in the car, and I sat in the front seat, keys halfway to the ignition. I hung up. And then I drove down to the the pool but I don’t remember getting there. Sunscreen a thick film over my body like the film that coated my mind, making everything feel waxy and distant. I dove into the cold water, a breathtaking cold like the chill that ran down my spine when my mother said those words.

My grandmother died today. And I swam till my lungs burned and my arms and legs felt heavy enough to sink my body down to the bottom of the pool. I swam and everytime my thoughts drifted back to that fact, I pushed harder till I was gasping. I tried not to think of how I was watching her gasping for air in her hospital bed the day before. And now she’s not breathing. But I still am. I swam for over an hour.

My grandmother died today. And I called my boyfriend to tell him but he already knew. So I didn’t have to say it. I haven’t said it. He asked me about the service. I started to say she wanted to be cremated. She wants to- and I went silent. He asked me if I was still there. I couldn’t open my mouth.

My grandmother died today. And my mother held me in her arms, and she told me how my love for my Gran meant so much to her. I had to hold my breath.

My grandmother died today. And I keep replaying yesterday at the hospital over and over. I see her lying in the bed. I can feel her frail, limp hand against mine, her hair through my fingers as I ran them through. I made sure to look her in the eye, through the haze of the drugs keeping her at peace I wanted her to see me. To know I was there. I kissed her on the forehead, and told her I loved her. She was trying to talk, but she couldn’t. I said that it was okay, I knew she loved me. That it was okay she couldn’t say it back. I remember walking away, out of the hospital room. I’m not sure if having such a strong memory is hurting or healing.

My grandmother died today. I looked at my boyfriend and realised I won’t have either of my grandmothers at my wedding.

My grandmother died today. And everything’s changed but nothing has. The sun still shines. The sun still set. My assignments still need to be done. I will still fail my first year of University in 7 days if I don’t write over 5,000 words across three assignments. I still lost my job. I lost my grandmother. My only grandmother. I haven’t cried yet. I’m scared to start. If I do I’m not sure I’ll stop. I can’t think about it.

My grandmother died today, and even though I knew it was coming, even though I spent hours at her hospital bedside over five weeks of torturous medical complications and deteriorations, even though I knew she was now in palliative care, I didn’t expect her to die.

My Grandmother is dead. She is at peace, but we are not.

I think you should choose to believe and enjoy what your lover tells you. If they're lying, that's their problem, not yours.

We're getting slammed with more snow tonight. We got just under 2 feet this past weekend. We got a few inches last night. We're expecting up to 2 more feet in the next 48 hours. I'm trying so hard to not stress out about this. We love living up here, we love the snow, but we've never had to LIVE in snow like this. This has been a learning year for sure. We're figuring out what we can do better in future winters and how we can do things differently so life is a little easier during this time. And I personally am trying to figure out how to live in such an isolated way, while entertaining myself for a few months at a time. This is the mindset change I mentioned earlier. (there are other small ones too, but this is the big one at the moment).

Like I said we love living up here on this mountain. We've lived in other places, but we haven't loved them nearly as much as we love it up here. So I KNOW this is where we want to be (even if it isn't our forever home - though it could be - who knows?), so now I need to get my brain to get with the plan LOL.

Adjustments

I've commented many times over the years about the sad state of my back. Of course, I just assumed that I had a bad back from the many injuries sustained while cheerleading and in martial arts. Then I had that incident with a client who flipped me onto concrete and the professionals told me THEN that the injury would have lifelong affects. I just never realized the extent.

After the twins, my thyroid shut down again, I gained MORE weight, and I had even more back problems. Of course, this time I was blaming the strain that the twin pregnancy took. I mean, they even dislocated my pelvic bone and I had trouble walking at all and well....everything in my body took a beating.

May of 2021 everything came to a head. I was in the boys room and my spine had a weird feeling and all of a sudden my thighs on both legs started convulsing and then went paralyzed. I could feel them, but I couldn't move them AT ALL. I was in the hospital for five days while they ran many tests. Nothing was conclusive, but that seemed to be the trigger point. After that incident, the paralysis episodes came more and more frequently. I was sustaining injuries from falls left and right. I was having more tests, but the only thing they conclusively ruled out was MS. I can't even roll over in bed. If I move a quarter turn, everything from my L4 vertebrae to my knees goes into a paralysis episode. Then I have to wait for it to pass, move a little bit again and then wait for the next episode to pass. I have been put on many medications for pain and nerve issues, but nothing touches it.

Anyway, the final diagnosis was arachnoiditis and ankylosing spondylitis. I had never heard of arachnoiditis. It's painful and debilitiating and there's no good treatment or cure. The amount of pain that I'm in on a daily basis often takes my breath away and there have been many mornings that I wake up crying and just wish for it to end. There's a reason it has the nickname of "The Suicide Disease". Of course, I have my three children and my husband to keep me grounded and reminded why I fight my way through every day. I have a wheelchair now for when I do out of house activities. I chose a manual wheelchair because I want to still be as active as I can, but it's hard because, as I said, I've gained a LOT of weight. I've been told so many times that I should have bariatric surgery, but my insurance refuses to cover it, even for medical reasons. I'm trying very hard to do as much exercise as possible and to strengthen my upper arms, but it's slow going and often frustrating. I have every faith in myself that I can do it, though. I'm looking forward to seeing how far I've progressed come this time next year.

Happy July! I’ve been behind because so many changes and news have hit me all at one time. I’m not sure if I’m taking a break or just really taking it at a slower pace. BUT I do have many books to talk about, lol and I’ll eventually tell you guys all about them. For now, I’m enjoying my birthday month and starting my new chapter of 31! We shall see what life throws me now. Be back soon!

OXOX

Sincerely,

Veronica
