So for me it’s all the trends people do just to feel included. Especially clothing. If it’s not cute to me I’m not spending for it, soo many people flock to buy things to say that they have it because it’s trendy.

Recently, I went through a miscarriage a couple of months ago. I decided not to attend certain family functions because I'm still very emotional around newborns, especially since November would have been my due date month. However, I've been called selfish, childish for not trying to being happy for others happiness. I have my own emotions, and I'm allowed to be “selfish, emotional, and stubborn”, so I refuse to go against my heart when it comes to emotions and grieving. Everyone is different. Note: I am happy and excited for those in my family or close friends who are able to have their babies and are on their pregnancy journey. I am just trying to heal my heart; this is nothing personal to those who are able to have a healthy pregnancy, etc. I just have to protect myself from a heavy broken heart as I don’t know if I’ll ever have kids.

I don’t talk about this enough, but this matters… Do the thing you can’t stop thinking about. The one that keeps showing up when everything gets quiet. The one that excites you… and scares you just enough to hesitate. The one you keep pushing aside because it doesn’t feel safe, logical, or conv

A cute ghost character with a skull-like head and blue wispy body sits in a dark, old room with a static TV. A speech bubble reads, 'THEY ALL SAW SOMETHING.' The image includes 'Lemon8' and '@g.for.ghosts' branding.
A ghost character is shown against a collage featuring an old farmhouse, a Dover Massachusetts road sign, and text about Hopkinsville. A speech bubble states, 'THREE DIFFERENT ENCOUNTERS. THREE DIFFERENT PLACES. AND YET_ THEY ALL LEAVE BEHIND THE SAME FEELING.'
A ghost character is partially visible in a dark, eerie room with a window and an open door leading to a shadowy forest. A speech bubble says, 'SOMETHING WAS THERE. NOT IMAGINED. NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD. JUST. THERE.'

Things you can REFUSE at birth!
When I was pregnant I really didn’t create a birth plan or figure out what I wanted or what I wanted to refuse. I kinda just went with the flow of things. It was my very first birth and I genuinely had no idea what I was doing. Here are things you can refuse at birth and why: Hospital gowns:
