Bio
I'm a creative spirit trying to carve out a little space in this world for myself. Outside of being a wife and mother and the million other roles that I serve, I still find it important to be able to be myself. The hot mess of perfection.

The struggle is real
I am struggling today. Everything hurts. Everything! No one talks about how depression is not just being sad... It's all the emotions all at once. Without rhyme or reason. It's being fatigued from blinking and breathing. It's seeing your phone ring and not wanting to answer cuz then you have to explain why you sound tired. And if I tried to explain... They probably still wouldn't understand. I'm not lazy, I'm not procrastinating I'm not super sensitive even though I cried when someone told me to smile.. Im fighting a battle inside that no one can see or hear but me. I try to stay busy. So busy I don't have time to feel anything. Too much of any of those feelings can send me spiraling out of control. When you see yourself slipping and there's nothing you can do but hold on for dear life. It's scary. Today is hard. Today I struggled and I know will struggle again. That's the nature of this beast. It's okay to struggle. It's okay to say it out loud, it's okay to cry. What's not okay; quitting.
