For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Why Aren't They Barefoot, Too?
My mom was a flower child who grew up in the 70’s, wore her hair in two long braids, or flowing freely without a care in the world, and spent all of her free time playing guitar in the park where everybody from Westchester High went when they skipped class. To me there was no one quite like her, and her otherworldly personality differed almost completely from the people we were surrounded by when we moved from New York to Maine. Talk about a culture shock. I always wondered why the other adults weren’t smiling as much as my mom, and why they didn’t seem to be barefoot… ever. It wasn’t something that made sense to me as a young girl who had learned everything about life from her single mom.

SHADOWS AND SUFFERING
It follows me everywhere i go. I am so scared of it. It never leaves me alone. I am sick of it. None has been able to see it. IT's dark. That's why it's not visible in dark or at night, but it's still there. As i type this , it's still watching me. My hands are shivering. It has never harmed me physically, but keeps a rigid eye on me, torturing me mentally . I am being watched. I don't know from whom to ask help for, when it's only me who can see it.

Creative Endeavors
In January 2020 I found out I was pregnant with my daughter during my second trimester. I was very shocked at the time and it made me feel anxious and depressed. I have had so many failed pregnancies in the past, I feared I would miscarry; however, I had faith that my medical team would see me through successfully. During the tenure of my pregnancy I became increasingly spiritual, closer with my family, and began seeking therapy. Therapy ultimately became my savior. Madelyn Constance Young was born on July 30th, 2020 and she is all I ever dreamed of. My dreams have come true despite the obstacles.

I Am Lost
I wrote my first entry yesterday and found my mind ease somewhat in months. Instead of fixating on my start of the year mistake or goals I fussed over how long I should make each or whether or to keep writing this. I should explain also I wish to become an Author and have been writing basically underground for 5 years now.

Cockatoos, A Hot Air Balloon, and A Walnut Tree.
A number of years ago I lived with my sons in a house in an older suburb of Canberra which was directly under the flight path of balloonists. I loved this aspect of living in this house as the hot air balloons drifting by are not an unattractive sight.
