To my old clan- Adieu

Adieu

There are no words I can say that will ever make this okay.

There are no words to ever be told to make the truth ever sound sweet.

Lessons are learned from the mistakes we’ve made.

Lies and deceit are ever so instant nowadays.

Loyalty and love dead at the scene.

Words upon the alter sacrificed and slaughtered at your feet.

My love for you upon that slab beaten and battered.

I will take my memories, walk away, while my tears fall and splatter.

But remember one thing it was you I chose day after day.

With nothing left to say sweet goodbye are the last words you will hear me say. —Mizfit Queen aka Emma

Death

Dealing with death is one of the most difficult things in life. We all know we won’t make it out without death coming for us. It’s something you can never truly prepare for. I lost my brother 2 years ago at the height of the pandemic. He died in a hospital room, all alone without any of us by his side. I like to think God was there with him holding his hand. Does it make the pain any easier, NO. Does it change how much he is missed, NO. So today I ask you to take time to hug the people you love. Take time to spend with the people you love, make memories with them. We will all face death so take time to live while you still can. Be grateful for waking up this morning, many didn’t get that chance. Be grateful for each day, each moment is precious time you get to be with the ones you love. Life can be hard and uncaring so make the best of the one you have. Have a beautiful day.

Strong enough

Why does it seem whenever we find a place we feel comfortable, life goes and throws a wrench into your happy spot? It’s something I am going through at the moment. It’s no one’s particular fault. It’s just life when we reach a certain point we are pushed to keep moving. I am grateful for each and every moment I get to wake up and go through a new day. Does that change how I feel about the constant push to keep moving? I would like to be mature and say no we all have to keep moving. As an adult I should say that, but the girl inside just keeps saying can we get a moment to catch up. Ah the fight of our inner child that never truly wants to grow up and the adult that knows we can’t remain the same. So to another day of fighting the good fight. Even if that means just dragging yourself through the day. Keep going don’t give up, you are strong enough to keep moving.

Pain

I am at urgent care facility, woke up in the middle of the night about 3 am with this really horrible sharp pain on my lower back right side. It’s insane the amount of pain I felt, I honestly couldn’t breathe. Its funny because I have such a high tolerance for pain. So here I am waiting to have a cat scan done to see what it is. They ofc have given me morphine for the pain. I hate taking pain meds its one of my pet peeves. I know it might sound strange but with the opioid crisis, I just don’t want to ever become addicted to any of that stuff. So I am constantly saying no to any type of pain medication. I have seen too many ppl get destroyed by opioids. Anyhow I do hope you all have an amazing day. Hopefully I will be home later to do my podcast but if not I will definitely or should hope to be home by Friday. Have beautiful wonderful day.

Coffee

Heard a beautiful story of a girl who found a friend. The friend was there for her every day, every moment she needed someone to hear her, her friend just knew and would write her to say hey. Distance didn’t matter, the friend always wanted to make sure his friend was okay. He knew how she had suffered growing up, he knew all about her pain. That didn’t matter to him she was his friend and nothing would change. Time, distance, family nothing would stop him from writing her just say hey. Many people come and go in your life but some never leave because they made a choice to always be there, no matter what. That is the type of friendship we all need and if you find that never let it go. Fight for it because you might never get that again. To my friend that has been there and never left me behind. You are appreciated more than words will ever allow. You have seen my darkness and seen my light. Time might fly by us but I know you will always be mine. No matter what life throws our way, friends we stay. To the very end meet you at the dream café.
