What's It All About?


"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates

While you’re here, in this time and in this space, you are beautiful and you are perfect.

You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go.

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase." MLK

That is a note from my notepad and because I’m getting lazy again at posting here, I’m going to just add something to Notes and then Copy and paste it here (with the date of course because I can’t copy that part of the note anyway and I couldn’t attach a screenshot) so the idea is that I use my notepad a lot more and the stuff I’m usually putting in the notepad…half the time it’s important and related to life and I know it…so I will just then copy and paste it here. It will be a different sort of record keeping of my life at this point - - 2025 Is pretty fucking good so far considering I’m unemployed. But I have new health Insurance from state of MN, I’m getting unemployment money, O and V are still living with me, or I should say back living with me, and 2025 should be an important year for B and I.


It’s the year Annie turns 18. I was promised that once she turned 18, he would get divorced and we would FINALLY be able to have a real relationship.


I’ve got to see that through and get resolution to it once and for all. For the last time. I’m hopeful things are going to go on my way. I love that man so fucking much and I know he loves me.
