Barely holding on at this point

I’ve been gone too long but let me share my week with you- This week was the longest year of my life but it had more ups than downs!

I’ve been working, got my Beyoncé tickets, did a Bath & Bodyworks haul, and we got more snow!

This has been a week 😓😓

Discover how sharing weekly experiences can enhance our mood and provide a sense of connection. This week has brought both challenges and joys, from long work hours to exciting events like securing concert tickets. Engaging with these ups and downs can foster community spirit, especially in times of uncertainty. As winter sweeps in with more snow, it's essential to embrace the warmth of indoor activities – whether it's pampering yourself with Bath & Bodyworks goodies or catching up on life with friends. Building connections through shared experiences can create a fulfilling sense of belonging. Reflecting on our week, we often find the small wins, like those concert tickets, can brighten our spirits. Keep sharing your stories and let’s uplift each other through this winter season.

A person with long dark hair walks away on a city street, carrying a yellow shopping bag and a small black purse. Old buildings line the street with parked cars.

Scammed, Broken, and Barely Holding On to Myself

Scammers wiped out $30,000 of my family’s hard-earned savings through a fake job offer. They promised simple work-from-home tasks and even sent me small payouts at first to make it look real. I trusted them, and when they told me to ‘invest’ more money to unlock higher-paying tasks, I thought I was

A textual graphic titled 'GOD, I'M TIRED' on a light background. The text expresses weariness from pretending to be strong and carrying burdens, finding solace in God's constant presence, and asking for His presence and reminder of not being alone.

GOD IM TIRED, BUT IM STILL HOLDING ON

Some days I feel like I’m barely holding it together. Tired of pretending, tired of carrying what I was never meant to. But even in my silence, God stays. Even when I feel empty, His presence fills the gap. This isn’t about being perfect—this is about pressing in, even when I’m worn out. Lord, I’

A young girl, about 10, in a football jersey, cargo pants, and a backwards hat, sits at a kitchen table with three adults. Text reads: "Mistaken for a boy often... But really I knew I was a gamine BEFORE I knew what that was."

A woman with glasses and her hair in a messy bun smiles at the camera, wearing a blue shirt and a light jacket. Text states: "Living on auto-pilot... Straight survival-mode."
