I may be writing this post from under my bed sheets. When adulthood comes a knocking; my inner child may or may not throw a hissy fit.
The reality is, I am an adult and as such have adult responsibilities. I am not talking about the day in and day out things of life but the sucky adult stuff like … I don’t know… applying for extended health care coverage or making RRSP contributions. Barf!
These are the things that make my anxiety levels skyrocket and my decision making ability goes ‘byeeeeee!!’ Then, because depression is a liar… my self worth comes under fire. It is a vicious cycle.
It is very easy to revert back to a tween in my coping … or lack thereof. To quote Chris Evans aka Captain America “I don’t wike it.”
I am a 40 + Canadian gal who feels like I have lived many lives. My current life consists of raising 4 foster babies ages 4 and under. It is crazy. It is hard. And it is so very good. In my spare time (insert laugh here) I am multi certified/licensed as a fitness instructor and working on more. Mid life crisis much?
I often find myself in a place where within the messy chapters of my life (Depression is part of this makeup of mine), I occasionally find my voice and feel compelled to share. This may only be because I am more extroverted than not more so than because I have something life altering to convey.
I hope to openly and vulnerably share my life with a huge dose of humour and maybe a pinch of sarcasm.
The underlying premise of everything I put forth is my faith which is grounded in love, hope, forgiveness, and grace.
