Life

I feel like our parents wasn’t specific enough when we were kids about adulthood. They would say things like, “Enjoy being a kid while you can.” “Don’t rush to grow up.” Yeah, we needed more details. This adult shit is not cool. I mean we couldn’t have avoided it, yet we could have been, I don’t know, a lot more reluctant to embrace it. Stayed at our parents house a little longer. Saved more money. Travel when we didn’t have real responsibilities. Planned better. Something dammit! But here we are, an adult till the day we die. Just in the world, lost as fuck ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Okay, I know everyone doesn’t feel this way, but I’m sure it is a good amount of people who do. I have spent so much time lately being introspective about my life. Where I have been, where I am and where I want to be. I can’t say I am happy about any of it. Okay, that is not true, I have had some great moments in this long life. Yet, I feel like if I had taken a left instead of a right here and there, I could have had more great moments. Who knows where I would be. Maybe exactly where I am right now or not. Looking back, I definitely would have been more open to experiencing life in other places and meeting all types of people. I probably would have been either a hoe or a virgin ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚.

There is a song I have been obsessed with called Beautiful Things by Benson Boone. I mean I played the fuck out of that song. Maybe not as much as Workin’ on Lovin’ by Juice, which Spotify was so kind to tell me ๐Ÿ˜‚.ย 

Seriously Spotify!

Anyway, there is a part in the song where he says, “And I think I might have it all.” Have you ever felt that way? As I look back on my life, I can’t think of a time when all areas of my life was in alignment. When I felt like it was too good to be true or I was afraid that it wouldn’t last. I’m not upset about it. I just know I want that. I want that level of contentment. To look at my life and say, “Damn this is what I wanted. I’m living in the moment I prayed for.” I do believe that it is still possible. I just have no clue of when it is going to happen.

I have spent way too much time in my thoughts and not writing them down. The more I tell myself I need to write, the less I have the desire to write. I don’t know what is going on, but I know I need to get it together y’all. I hope this posts finds you well and whole. Much love to you all ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’š

Here is the songs I mentioned in the post. Maybe you will enjoy them as well.

MS Walk 2024

Another year, another MS Walk. The MS Walk was held in Toledo on Sunday, May 19th. Unfortunately, I didn’t plan my trip home well and I left out on my way back to South Carolina on the day of the walk. One of these days, I will grow up and get my life together. My soul sister, BT, attended the walk as she does every year in support of Denise (my cousin who is also affected by multiple sclerosis) and I. She also was so gracious as to hand out the blankets I made for individuals living with MS.

 

 

 

I don’t know either of the people she chose, but I am happy she let God lead her to the right people. BT came through with other pics for me to share of the walk.

 

 

 

 

 

I am so grateful to BT for her support each year in bringing awareness to the life-changing disease that is multiple sclerosis. Thank you my friend and soul sister. Thank you to everyone that checks in on me throughout the year and makes sure I am okay. I am okay, but I also know it is okay to not be okay. And some days I am not okay. But I will always push through. Don’t stop checking on me though. Be well and whole. Much love ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’š
