I Keep Asking Why

In grief therapy, they tell you often that being creative and expressing your feelings through art is huge. Something about art therapy helping get your emotions out without you having to speak. I guess I sort of get it. There have been a million times in this very blog where my photos aren’t just “Hi, look at my outfit.” I’m not sure I’ve ever really been that kind of blogger. I like to tell a simple story in a simple picture. But I’ve been so creatively blocked in the past almost 3 months. It’s so hard to express yourself through art when your grief is almost the only thing you feel most days.

But then I thought, “Why do I have to be creative? Why can’t I just put out what I feel or even what my days are like?”

I have 3 kittens. They’re almost 6 months old now and I love them so much. They are, most days, the only things that really get me out of bed. They are curious and funny and they force me to remember that life goes on, even on your worst days.

The Road Goes On Forever

Hello loves. Well… in the saga of my “Worst Year Ever,” I spent the end of August and beginning of September sitting with my mom in the hospital. Some of you might remember a few years ago that I had to stay overnight with her in the hospital because she needed a blood transfusion because of her anemia. This was the same, but so much worse. With the death of my dad, both she and I pretty much stopped doing basic life necessities. It was even worse for her, and had she not had the strength to call for help… I don’t even want to think about it. And the fact that she was in the same hospital my dad had been in really threw me. But the hospital is a good one, and we met many outstanding medical professionals who got her back up and healthy enough again. She’s doing a ton better, physically and mentally, and I’m grateful for that.

As for me…I’m not great. It would be easy for me to say “I’m ok!” and move on with my day, but I’d be lying. I think I will be ok one day. I’m doing grief counseling. I’m trying to take care of me. The road goes on forever, doesn’t it?

I’m Still Breathing

Hello loves. Well, it’s another trip around the sun for me. This has been a really awful summer for me. Yesterday, my sweet Holly passed over the Rainbow Bridge. To say that I am devastated would be an understatement. I really would like to just be done with this year. But I’m still breathing. So here’s to another year. May it be better than the last.

Hello loves! Well, I don’t know about where y’all live, but we’re going back into a second lockdown around here. Yikes. I hope all of you are staying safe and healthy!

She Spoke Just Like A Baroness

Hello loves! I hope everyone is having a wonderful and safe month so far. Can you believe May is almost half over? Of course, I know with the quarantine, it feels like the 38rd of Maytemberurary but hey. There are worse things that could happen other than keeping ourselves and others safe by staying home and watching Netflix, am I right?

You have a day or so left to get to The Epiphany, so hurry hurry hurry!

What’s Wrong With Being Confident?

Hello loves! I hope everyone has had a lovely week. It’s almost the weekend! And it’s almost March, which is crazy to me. January seemed to last 16 months, but February has just flown by!

No, your eyes don’t deceive you. My hair is darker today! I’ve been rocking the darker hair ever since I did a bit of an avatar update this week. I am really loving the new look. It’s a little different for me, and you all know I don’t change up my general look too often, but sometimes change is good!

In The City Of Blinding Lights

Hello, loves! I hope everyone had a really lovely weekend. On Sundays, I enjoy just relaxing and preparing for the week. Now let me just say, I enjoy doing that. Do I actually do it? Not usually! In fact, this weekend has been a bit crazy because I’ve been dealing with plumbing issues in my RL house. Hopefully everything has been solved, but now I have a LOT of laundry that has been piling up for the wash to get through, and I need to clean the kitchen, too!

Luckily in my SL, this sort of thing does not exist. So while I wait for one load of laundry to finish washing, I can just hang out, go shopping, and enjoy my Sunday. And I suggest that you all do the same!

I Keep Mascara In My Pocket

Hello, loves! Can you even believe that in just a few days, it’s a whole new decade?! I really can’t! A new year, a new decade, seems like a good time to try a few new things. So maybe in 2020 I will explore some different types of fashion for me. Not saying I’m about to become some super sexy blogger. That’s not me. But…once in a while…

If you haven’t been to The Epiphany yet, WHY THE HECK NOT?! Go go go!

The Lake House

Hello, beautiful ones! And a Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US!

I’ve been attempting to do a new house tour video because I want to set up a new home for us. But…things being what they are and all, I think what was going to be our new fall home is going to have to be our new winter home. *laughs* I did not want to let the season go by without doing at least one fall home photo, though.

I hope all of you had a most marvelous November, and get ready, because the wintery fun photos are coming!!
