#GoodMorning

#GoodMorning


I'm always grateful to wake up every morning, ready for new beginnings.  Oh my gosh, triple digits today in temperature.  I'll only drive until 12 today, then come home and sit in my air conditionless (yeah it's a word or not) apartment.


This morning I woke up, still unsure about life, but eager to go out there and make a difference and not waste my day.  Ever since I moved to my own place, I've run out of money so I've been driving Lyft to pay for little bills, not rent.  I have to build up again. Riders ask me often if I like driving Lyft.  My answer is always, no.  I do it because I need to. That's the truth.  That does not mean I drive angry and rude, not at all.  In fact I have a 4.8 out of 5.0 rating. So with that said, I have to go do my morning drive.

I've actually had to rent out one of my bedrooms out, since it's not being used.  Renting out bedrooms is actually a big thing here in California.  People can't afford rent so they just rent rooms, which helps me tremendously while trying to save up again.  Waiting patiently to go back to work when school opens in two weeks, especially since I got a raise.

Have a great day everyone!

When you finally realize that you need help!

Mmmmm, that looks good. So, yesterday I was feeling some kind of way and I could not concentrate, or even get out and do things like go to the beach, as I wanted to do.  Instead I finished a book . I accomplished 3 big things yesterday: I took my car to Auto Zone for a reading, engine gauge goes in the red, but it cools itself as I'm driving.  They found nothing; finished reading the above book; and I did a load of laundry. Anyway, as the day went on, I started getting very emotional, unable to concentrate or complete a single thought.  Years ago, I criticized someone for not being able to live inside their own heads.  This person had just ended a relationship, and they were doing everything to keep themselves busy just so they wouldn't think about the situation they were in.  The hurt, the loss, the fear, the uncertainty...the list can go on forever.  Now that I'm in the same situation, I have an understanding of what this person was going throu...

Warning Signs of Abuse in Relationships: Sign Number 3: Manipulation

MANIPULATION When a partner tries to influence your decisions, actions or emotions. Manipulation is not always easy to spot, but some examples are convincing you to do things you wouldn’t normally feel comfortable with, ignoring you until they get their way, and using gifts and apologies to influence your decisions or get back in your good graces. What? "ignoring you until they get their way"? "Using gifts to influence your decisions"?  Wow, some girls just have all the luck! All I wanted was to be left alone.  I didn't even want to go home after work.  So clearly, some abusers are capable to giving you your space, in the form of "ignoring you" .  I never got peace in my environment.  Having someone in your face all the time, because they're not satisfied with your answers to their questions is exhausting, causes anxiety (which I was diagnosed with years ago) due to the environment I was living in, and it's just plain bullying. T...

Why I started this Blog and taking Responsibility for my past, present, and future!

I started this blog because I'm hoping to help others (men and women) heal after going through something like what I went through and still going through.  So others can avoid going through what I'm going through.  This Blog will not be about bashing anyone. It will be about my life as I lived it, my mistakes, my regrets, my sorrow, my self esteem, and feeling beat down. To save myself and my children, I had to leave a bad marriage.  I left because my children were suffering, and I was suffering.  In order to stop all our suffering, I had to remove myself from the equation while salvaging my career at the same time. It's been a year, within that year, I managed to get a divorce, go in an insurmountable debt, embarrassed myself, got embarrassed, found freedom, been miserable, been happy (for a short time), been cursed at by the other side, been begged to return home and I'll be treated like a queen, told that I won't have to work for the rest of my life if I retu...
