Description:

Life is never what you imagine it to be. There will be many ups and downs and obstacles that get in your way. Life is not stable. Last year I rode a roller coaster of emotions. For me it was a very draining and life changing year. It was a year that would forever alter my life. Two-thousand and thirteen would be the year that I finally found myself. I overcame a ten year abusive marriage, leaving and starting a new life of my own. I would have to build up from nothing. I lost everything I once held dear to me, my home, almost all my personal items and family heirlooms and even my children. I was broken and lost. I saw everything I had been accustom to swirl down the drain. I had to learn to be self-efficient and do things on my own. I was in deep depression and lost over 15 lbs. in a very short amount of time. I wasn’t taking care of myself and scaring my family and close friends. My grandmother forced me to get out and try to make new friends. Oddly enough almost by fate, I stumbled upon a craigslist listing for a man named Eric, whom would forever change my life. That brings us to today. My ex is still a consent demon in my life, causing unexpected hiccups like you would not imagine. I continue to have many ups and downs. Life is still not stable. Over the holidays I worked two jobs to make ends meet. I am still battling depression and cry often. I have gained back a few pounds that I have lost, but my eating patterns still depend on my mood. Yet I have learned that I am strong. I have found someone that loves me for who I am. Someone that wipes away my tears and holds me when I need that extra bit of support. I have become a better person. I am not afraid to speak up, I can and will survive on my own and most important I have found myself. While my struggles continue to haunt me as we go into this new year, I have learned “there is always a rainbow after the storm.” And that rainbow I can finally see in the distance and that makes me smile.
