Yesterday evening, I had a pleasant dinner with my mother. We ate at a traditional southern restaurant that had a simple menu with unseasoned food. After nearly three and a half years, she decided to bring up an extremely traumatizing event in my life. After suffering in silence and living through a deep depression for years, the conversation was very neutral for me. Sometimes I wish things were different. Other times I feel a couple points below relieved. I’m sure other family members aware of the event have similar thoughts that turn fleeting too. Concepts and Realization 1. I can finally look in the mirror and be proud of myself. 2. My family’s communication skills are shit. 3. I am responsible for my life experience and no one will save you. #lifestory #family #personalgrowth

I’m in the process of moving to a new state and it feels good to close a growing chapter in my life. I found my fiancé, exposed to many world views, and mad life long friends. Also during the packing process, I donated two bags of food🍗🍜 #donate #fiancé #movingtoanewstate #worldview #3yearsofgrowth
