It's okay if you aren't okay

I'm the oldest of seven in my house. That means I had a lot of responsibility very young, and I took it willingly. I've always been my siblings second mom, and my mom's right hand woman. I've always been "practically in charge" and knew more about our family's schedule than the planner. I've always been okay. But, there became a time when I wasn't okay. At all. And all I did about it was I hid the fact that I was very much not okay. To my stressed out heart it seemed easier to hide the problem than face the fact that the perfect child I so longed to be, the steady hand I'd worked so hard to become could fall around me. This did nothing to fix the problem, if anything, it made the problem worse. Ladies, you don't have to be perfect. You are not capable of being perfect. Don't expect a standard from yourself that isn't attainable. I guess what I'm saying is, it's okay if you aren't okay. It's taken me eig...

Trusting Joy: How my blog got it's name

So I wasn’t getting any notes There wasn’t a note for that one time that I was crying so hard I thought I would throw up, or that time I felt so lonely I didn’t want people to exist anymore. There wasn’t a note when I stared in the mirror and hated the reflection that stared back at me. So I waited. I waited for those notes, for that boy, for someone to tell me I was beautiful, that I was worth living for. That boy hasn’t shown up yet. Then I opened this book by these people, and I began to read. There were my notes, addressed to me, bound together between the flowered c...
