Hi everyone
Just random blog today:
I know that it's been a while since my last blog but haven't had much to write about that would be interesting enough to read. I promise I am working on some great ideas to post. Between motherhood, working, Christmas shopping it's humanly impossible to type at home.
Last night I was feeling somewhat down about what I've been doing with my life. I know that I am capable of so much more yet I choose to do nothing. I am in the process of writing two books and haven't even looked at either one with in the past two weeks! I just know being someone's assistant is not something I want to do for the rest of my life. Time is moving so fast and I have no back up plan. I want more for myself and my family.
This past weekend I chose to speak with my sisters and step mother about my plans for one of my books and of course like I had already knew they will always have my back. I have been consumed with family members being upset at me but I have come to realize the people I was so concerned about being upset, I have not even spoken with in years. The family and friends in my life now will always stand by my side no matter what I have done in my past and what I will accomplish in my future.
I just want to make a point this book is not to embarrass anyone or to put any one on blast. This book is about a young lady who has gone through so much in her life at a very young age; severe mental depression, drugs, drinking, sex etc., etc., etc. I know that people will detest this book but this is my story and how I saw my life through my own eyes, my own feelings and my own pain. How I had to over come so much and continue to struggle daily mentally because I choose to turn my life around.
I have been asking myself what is the point of this book?
My answer to my own question is there is another young lady out there, someone who has or is going through the same struggles I went through and the only way she was able to get better is by learning from my experiences and knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel only if she chooses to walk that path.
