The New Year

-

It's now the 2nd day of January and I am still recovering from COVID; mainly I still have this stupid cough. I swear sitting in this house has been so tormenting but at the same time it's been kind of cleansing. I mean it's been time for me to reevaluate somethings and regain some really good focus, which truthfully is something that I really needed to end off my last year.

I have never really thought out what I wanted to do in my next year, plan out my month, make a vision since like 2013. So I feel like for 2022, I wanted to do something totally different and actually plan things. Doing so became really easy because one of my best friends gave me a "Prayerful Planner" and that made me really excited about a lot of things. I have wanted a "Manifestation Journal", but I did not tell anyone because I was like I will get it; and I was gifted something better than that. 

Today, I looked at my class and school load which made me really excited because I am 6 months away from graduation with my Masters Degree. The reality of me having 2 degrees in a year's time of each other is overwhelming sometimes and not in a bad way but in a "Jessica, you did it". I am proud of myself because I have wanted to give up so many times but I kept going and pushing.

This "Prayerful Planner" is an amazing gift because I have truly started using it already; I think that it will help me with what I feel my 2022 will be about. My 2022 is about "Manifestation, Restoration, and Focus"; I have so many things that I actually want to accomplish and even complete. But I realize that I might need to handle my journey and my things that I want to achieve differently, so I am learning how to move in silence. Because not everyone that cheers for me is truly for me, some people are waiting for me to fail. 

I want to really do more blogging too because I feel like sometimes things will be happening and I need to write through it so that I will not carry it or take myself into a dark hole this year. I find that writing truly is my escape, and I am to release the things that I find trigger me to spiral out of control; also I think daily blogging maybe good to keep up my consistency. I literally have had this blog for 10 years and I feel I should be further in it; this year I will because this is my brand and platform. I committing to do better.

2022, I will still continue #SurvivingLife...

Rethinking Old Depressing Thoughts (Part 1)

-
So many things have been going through my mind, like different observations about things I notice that I honestly never processed the way I am now. For instance, I have been thinking about states of mind I have been in when I have slipped into deep depressions or when I have gone into my distancing myself mode. Like have you ever sat back and really looked into why you were thinking the negative or always blaming yourself for things that truthfully probably was not really your fault or was just overthinking the situation and pushed yourself off the edge? Well, I think that I have because today in my mind I keep replaying the thoughts of being not worthy of love. Yes I said I have been thinking about the thoughts I have had about not being worthy of love. What's wild to me about the thought process I am having now is that I am seeing that I put myself in the rabbit hole of depression behind that. Because if I am honest no one told me I was not worth of love, I told myself that becau...

 Today, this post will be a lot more personal because I have something that I want to get out and honestly talk about. I feel that in life when we are going through our challenges with our mental health we are not very open about what's really going on because we never want people to judge or more on the scary side have someone call to have you Baker Acted or committed for those that do not know what that is honestly. So today, I am going to take you on a journey of what I call my "Intrusive Thoughts" while also talking about someone that I honestly am grateful for everyday outside of my daughter. So lets get real transparent... So for as long as I can remember I have had my "Intrusive Thoughts" that I am really not a fan of because they are some thoughts are in my "Dark Place" but they come anytime of day. I can be driving my car and I will think "Drive into oncoming traffic", "Drive off the side of this freeway", "If that sem...

The Toy on The Shelf

-
For many years I have always felt not good enough and would allow that mindset to really get me down. I mean I always felt like "the toy on the shelf" and that people only took me off when they wanted something from me, for me to do something for them, and/or wanted to have sex with me. I know this mindset sounds really crazy, but I really feel that people look at me like that.  Lately, I have been feeling this way especially after a had a heart to heart with a friend of mine and I realized that I have been "the toy on the shelf" for many people in my life past and a few present day. I do not know why that is where I exist with some people. I guess it's because I allow it, yes I can own the fact that I literally allowed a lot of this behavior, now I do not know why I allowed it.  For some reason, people like to say they have all these feelings for me, but only show those feelings when it is convenient for them and not because they want to show that they really a...
