Being real for a second
Feb.24
Today was a really hard day already. Just dropped my husband off to go to boot camp. I need to be candid, and real about this. I kept myself “together” these past few weeks but the honest truth is this shit is hard.
I had this conception that I need to be strong, but the honest truth is I’m not okay. There’s a lot of emotions knowing I won’t be able to just go home and see my husband which is honestly something I took for granted. He’s my best friend and my rock.
I struggle with mental health which is a real concern going through these next 7 and a half weeks. But I need to ground myself and be very thankful for the support system I have which is huge, and I’m truly blessed. If you stayed to read this, thank you and I’ll probably be using this platform as an outlet.

In today's fast-paced world, it’s vital to recognize and embrace our vulnerabilities. Many individuals, like myself, face emotional challenges when loved ones go away, such as during military boot camps. Conversations about mental health have finally started to break taboos, allowing more people to seek support. Understanding that it's okay not to be okay is crucial in managing emotional stress. Utilizing platforms to share feelings can be healing, and seeking connections with others going through similar experiences can provide comfort. Creating a strong support network among friends, family, or communities can significantly mitigate feelings of loneliness and anxiety. Whether through online forums or local groups, these interactions can strengthen our emotional resilience. Remember, it’s perfectly fine to express your worries and seek help, as this is the first step towards better mental health. Let’s continue to share our stories and support one another in these tough times while celebrating our strength in vulnerability.
I too am here! Keep yourself busy and before you know it you will be reunited!!!!❤️🥰
