So I have been married for several years now. Our kids are mostly on their own and functioning decently well. COVID obviously did a number on us as well as the rest of the world.
I have had a lot of changes in the past few years and I am sorry to say that I still have baggage.
I am overly sensitive to feeling controlled.
I have lost a brother now and I think I am experiencing more 'abandonment issues' than I realized lately.
Man, it just seems that the world has become a hot mess, ya know?
It just seems so hard to maintain healthy and positive self-esteem in today's world.
I decided that I need to get back to writing in my 'glad journal' and keep trying to focus on the many wonderful things that I have in this life.
I had blocked my blog for a bit - but I decided to make it public again. Maybe it will help me to know that I am not alone in my struggles.
If you are struggling out there - know that you are not alone.
Remember that you are stronger than you think you are.
Remind yourself that you matter to more people than you realize.
Be kind to yourself!
