         Five years ago, I uploaded a short post about going into a trial-and-error period. It was a time when I wanted to try a lot of things and figure out what works and what doesn’t. I wanted to know what works best for me and finally get a better idea of my path, so … More Going into another Trial-and-Error season.
Feeling two things at once is an interesting feeling. You go from wanting to keep your distance but wanting to make sure that they’re taking care of themselves. You go from feeling a sense of hostility, to worrying about them. The love doesn’t stop just because you’re feeling resentful, frustrated, or upset, and I … More Divorce Diaries (Part 18: Feeling Two Things at Once)
         It’s been a rough start since I officially moved out of my home. I knew that I would miss my place and what I’ve grown accustomed to over the years, but it was even the little things that I didn’t think about that made the transition harder. My soon-to-be ex-husband moved out a little … More Divorced Diaries (Part 16: Adjusting to my New Surroundings After the Move.)
          Lately I’ve been trying to learn how to forgive myself. This is probably one of the hardest parts of my divorce journey and will most likely take the most time. I know that people say hindsight is 20/20. They always say you shouldn’t judge the person you were years ago. Hell, even I always … More Divorce Diaries (Part 10: Learning How to Forgive Myself for Ignoring the Red Flags.)
Can I be completely honest for a second? It is hard, like really hard. It’s tough to confront your own insecurities that come forward in the midst of a divorce. The feelings of feeling broken, inadequate, unlovable and replaceable. It’s like you don’t want to give people a certain power, but when you love … More Divorce Diaries (Part 3: What Are You Fighting for, Caroline? )
So recently I’ve been thinking a lot about the things that we love and the things that we enjoy. The type of things that we may not allow ourselves to enjoy in the present, because we feel like there will be a perfect moment to enjoy it later. Have you ever had a particular … More Enjoy the little things now! Stop waiting for the right moment.
Sometimes I go back and read my old journals or old posts, and I am really surprised at how much I have forgotten overtime. But when I read them, it’s like it all comes rushing back. It’s so important to record your life, to record your story. At times, it can even help you … More Memories Unlocked! (Why we should all Journal)
Well, what can I say? It’s been an emotional month. I actually didn’t expect to feel as many emotions as I have been feeling lately. I felt like I’ve been mourning my marriage a year before any decision was made, and I thought by this time I would be all cried out. Maybe I … More Divorce Diaries (Part 1: Letting it set in and mourning what I thought would be my future.)
I came across an old post I wrote back in 2020. The post was about seeing things clearly and how 2020 was the year of clear vision. Fast-forward to now, 2020 has nothing on 2024. This year has been an eye-opening year for sure. It’s like we’re seeing a lot of people’s (and organizations’) … More 2024: The Year of Reveal. (When Push comes to Shove!) Blogmas #4
        It’s been a year since I’ve started phase 2 of my mental health journey. After doing what I could do on my own I finally caved in and started counseling and antidepressants last fall. I can’t say that counseling was effective. I tried so much on my own beforehand that I covered 97% of … More Antidepressants trial and error. The downside of the effects. (Mental Health Update)
