"All Ties Severed Clean" c.2003. Acrylic on canvasboard. At this point in my life, I'd been diagnosed with schizophrenia for at least 6 years (my first diagnosis was schizoaffective disorder and it's probably more accurate) and due to my withdrawal from everything social - I had no friends, I lived with my parents, I was in my 20s and even though I was taken care of very well I still considered home a prison. I couldn't drive for a while due to the sedation of my meds (i was overmedicated by this particular psychiatrist). I compared myself to others my age who were out on their own, getting married (my younger sister included), free... and where was I? In a house, nothing really to do but paint and hope for a day this disease would let me live. This painting was about freedom in the future, about just having had all my bindings cut, nude because I still owned nothing but was hoping to find everything. That day eventually came, and now I'm married and living in another country.

to all of the people who find it hard to survive, who want to give up, don't. there's still hope.

hope that maybe one day, you won't carry this heavy burden on your back, that maybe one day you will feel happiness and that you'll be glad you survive.

i know that you can't fathom happiness right now, but i assure you it exists.

and when you have that hope, it will give you the strength to move forward to that hopeful future.

I know this is not photo fitting exactly in my feed, but I took a walk yesterday to Northern Quarter & found this strong portrait saying a lot. There’s a street lamp nearby covered with stickers, what a coincidence with the symbol of death... This year is difficult for all of us, but I do believe we can change it with our bits...Wearing mask annoys me as much as you...but this is the minimum we can do now for our future, for our grandparents that are vulnerable ones..so please Hold still & wear the frickin’ mask. ______ Fotka, která možná nezapadá do toho, co většinou sdílím ...ale musím ji sem dát. Včera jsem si udělala procházku po Northern Quarter a našla tenhle portrét, který je silný a zasáhne...Hned na vedlejší ulici stojí lampa polepená všemožnými nálepkami, jaká náhoda, že je tam vyobrazený symbol smrti... Tenhle rok je těžký pro všechny, pro každého z nás ale věřím, že to můžeme změnit malými kroky...Taky mě nošení roušky otravuje, ruce mám osypaný ze všech těch gelů...Štve mě to, stejně jako tebe...ale to je to minimum, co teď můžeme udělat pro naši budoucnost, pro naše babičky a dědy, pro ty nejvíc zranitelné...tak prosím vydržte to, noste roušku. #susanetalks #manchesterphotography #manchesterphotographer #northernquarter #nq #ilovemanchester #streetart #urbanstyle #zahorizonty #coronavirus #2020 #fujifilm_xseries #fujifilmxt3 #wearamask #holdstill #art #portrait #thereisnoplanetb #thereshope #stayunited (v místě Northern Quarter, Manchester) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGzTdy2gAN6/?igshid=1mgfbxag3mia1

Face of disbelief 😅 - In the beginning of corona-virus, I left my job to take a real shot at my own one-man-band business and hoped for the best 😬 - Two months in, my worries have subsided a bit, as wrapping up last month shows 28% growth!! - Hope I can sustain this trend.. GREAT mood going into the weekend 🤩 Have a great one! 🤜🤛☀️ #solopreneur #coronalockdown #thereshope https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pZi7LJAqB/?igshid=1frww9zn59u1w

I remember having to watch the way I dressed in fear that if someone looked at me I would be told it was my fault .I remember being scared to even answer a males question infront of my ex in fear of being called a hoe or being accused of doing something wrong. I remember looking down at the floor bc if i was even seen looking at a male it would be an argument, I remember giving up all my passwords to social media because you didn’t trust me even tho I’m the one that got cheated on, I remember getting locked out of my social media accounts never to be able to get Into them again because I was told I didn’t need them, “if I loved you I didn’t need them” I remember the meanest messages being sent out by my account because nobody should of been trying to talk to me, i still don’t even know all you said to people pretending to be me. I remember not being able to hang out with friends I had for years because I knew if I did it would be an argument, I remember sitting in the house being told I wasn’t allowed to go out to parties because I was a female and “males only go to party’s for hoes” while I sat inside waiting for my ex to come back to me.. I remember my heart sinking when I would get a text from you because I didn’t know what the next argument was going to be, I remember being accused of things I’ve never thought of doing in my life and being treated as if they really happened...I remember showing up to work crying half the time Because I found out more lies, I remember giving up all my power to one person. I rember feeling only safe with you because you made me feel so isolated and alone. I remember all the apologies all the times I had false hope that it would all get better, and all the times it would “never happen again”, but I also remember all the times that it did. I will never let that happen again. I wish more people understood how hard it is to come back from that. I need to learn that not everyone deserves forgiveness I need to live for me.

Existential Crisis

Today marks three weeks since I lost my daughter, Kaia, and today, had she survived pregnancy, she would have been a week old. I should be gloriously exhausted, disheveled from lack of sleep, from waking up every other hour to feed her, but instead I’m sitting at home with my mom and my husband (not that there is anything wrong with this), childless and everything around me reminds me day in and day out that my baby did not come home with me. 

Wake up, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake up, eat, sleep, repeat. Wake up, eat, sleep, repeat. 

There isn’t much I can say that I’m sure hasn’t already been said by grieving mothers everywhere, but it truly feels as though everything has stopped. I’m at a standstill while the world continues to spin on its axis and people go on living their lives. I’m standing on the outskirts of my own life watching as everything unfolds around me and I am powerless to do anything about any of it.  And do you want to know what the messed up part is? I don’t want to do anything about it. At least not right now. 

In the last three weeks, I have been tethered to a roller coaster of emotions. One moment I’m at the top of the world, feeling like I can conquer anything, and then in the next moment, I’m falling, my eyes to the ground and indifferent to the feeling that I could hit the bottom at any moment. This is grief. These are the after effects of having lost someone so precious to me, someone I loved more than my own life and still love, and I am doing my best to navigate this path I’ve been led to follow. 

One day, maybe not anytime soon, but one day, there will come a time when I look back at this particular season in my life and smile. And maybe even look back at it with thankfulness that at one point in my life I knew what it felt like to feel a love so unconditional and selfless, to have hope, and to be able to dream of a life my heart so fiercely desired. Someday...but not today. 

Today, I will grieve and cry and maybe laugh and give a little smile. Today, I hope my words will reach the heart of another grieving mother, another woman who has to walk down a similar path, or another family trying to mend the broken and shattered pieces of their now forever changed lives, and let them know that they are not alone. 

Victory of the day: trying to put one foot in front of the other

Lil story

So a couple of years back I had a friend in a bio class. She mentioned that she was giving away a kitten and I had been DYING to get one, unfortunately my mother had opposing opinions about it. So me being the law abiding teenager I am, I lied and said I could take it. So I did, we rode the same bus and lived a couple streets away from eachother. So I picked the lil guy up and walked home. I formulated a cover-up story, the story was my friend gave it to me as a gift for my birthday (my actual birthday was only like less than a week away so it was plausible) and it worked bc you can't refuse a gift(at least in my family). So I took care of him like a son, I referred to him as my son, I basically adopted him. At that time I'd honestly been obliviously in a constant state of 'depression', sort of (I just felt very emotionless and escaped reality by just delving into books). Anyways so I was leaving a English class and on my way out my teacher pulled me aside. She asked of anything 'big' had happened. This confuses the heck out of me bc firstly as far as I know I'd never been really close to her, like personal life close. We talked but it was always based aroumd class content. And secondly no I don't think anything particularly big had happened recently accept- "no not really, I mean I did get a kitten though but thats about it. Why?". To which she responded

"You look much happier now"

That's when I saw it, how yeah I did feel a lot better bc I actually felt now.

Idk I just got reminded of this and wanted share it cause nice vibes. Here's my son(its been awhile but look at his baby photo). I actually haven't seen him around lately (he goes in and out a lot) I hope he's safe. But yeah the end.

#kitty #deppresion #thereshope #you look nice today #i hope you're having a good day

cold foam

one more cup of coffee

another day passing away

the same old feeling

never comes and goes

it’s here to stay

just one more hour i think

as i lay in bed, hardly awake

slowly drifting off again

they tell me it’s all in my head

i close my eyes and count to ten

alone, silently crying in my bed

sleep.

it’s the only time my thoughts aren’t racing

it’s as if it’s a merry-go-round

goes fast

goes slow

then comes to a complete stop

it waits

waits for... something

big or small

to cause its spinning once again

i tell myself that someday things will be different

but i know they never will

no amount of pills will change the chemistry in my head

and the way i feel doesn’t change with the seasons, no

it’s not temporary

it’s here to haunt me, and never let me be my happy self again

it’s as if time ticks by in slow motion

the days merge into another and become indistinguishable

the same routine is getting old

i don’t know what else i could do

i’ve tried it all and nothing seems to work

maybe this is the way i am

the way things are meant to be
