a small town girl living in a groggy world.
What have you been working on?
Myself.
I have been spending the majority of the past few months working on myself the most. Getting myself healthy, physically and mentally. Getting bad teeth fixed, seeing a therapist, regularly seeing my doctor. Taking new medications.
I want to feel like myself again and these are the steps to take first. But I will prevail.
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in?
I have been thinking about this a lot lately, actually. My husband is currently going to school for what he has always dreamed of going for. Me, on the other hand, have no idea what I want to do. It’s a hard decision to make for me. Unlike some people who have known since middle school or before, and stuck with it.
But how did they know? How did they know for sure that that’s what they wanted to do? I have so many things I would love to be able to do, but which one do I love more? How do I decide?
I love cooking, art, photography, animals, and trees, and so much more. How do you decide which one you want to start with at least?!
I’ve been considering Wildlife Conservation because it covers a few of those areas I love so much. I’m a “fun fact” or “did you know..” kind of girl. Wildlife Conservation covers animals, plants, and their environments. Which is the biggest interest of mine.
Major in Wildlife Conservation and minor in Photography..? I think that might be the route I’m going. For now.
Wish me luck in deciding!

What does your ideal home look like?
My ideal home would be something similar to the photo above.
I want the feel and look of a farmhouse on the outside. The wrap around porch with a swing, a huge kitchen with everything I need, and lots of land.
I want big windows for lots of sunlight. I want a 2 car garage or more. Several other buildings on my land, as well, for any projects or animals we have.
I would prefer to have an open floor plan type for the lower level. Upstairs would be for my kiddos. A finished basement area for our master bedroom and bathroom.
There are so many goals for our dream house that I’m sure will change with time. But for now, this is what we want.
Why do you blog?
The answer to this one is quite simple for me. I blog so I can share my thoughts and feelings. Not necessarily with others, but for myself. For my mental health.
It helps me to write or type out my feelings. I don’t generally have anyone to talk to, so this helps me the most. I also have journals I keep as well.
How are you feeling right now?
Thanks to my new antidepressant medication, I am feeling energetic. But the lonely feelings are still present. I am feeling worried about the days to come since my truck is on the fritz now. I’m worried about winter coming because I do not look forward to the amount of snow it brings here. I’m feeling very overwhelmed and extremely anxious. I wish that part of my medication would start to kick in.
The last week or so, the brakes on my truck have been half working. We couldn’t figure out what was really going on because it was full of fluid, and everything else looked fine. But sometimes the brakes would work like normal and sometimes you had to press them to the floor.
Today, I was driving down the main strip of my town, taking my youngest daughter to her great-grandmother so I could head to work. I got a weird feeling as I noticed something that has always made me suspicious after seeing it. So I got kind of a bad feeling. I decided to go 10 under the speed limit just in case.
I make it almost to my destination and go to slow down for the turn. The brakes are not working. My three year old daughter is in her car seat behind me. My heart races, I scream out, “The brakes aren’t working! What do I do!?”
I finally got my truck to stop, and I immediately called my husband. Then my mother in law. Then I jumped out and held my daughter for about 4 minutes while I just sobbed.
I have already had my personal conversations with my Lord. But I wanted to just say that I am certain He sent me a sign to slow down. Thank you, Lord, for protecting my baby girl. And giving me the strength to figure something out to stop it, even if it cost me my transmission. Thank you.
Turns out the brake line busted as I was driving.
Why do I always feel like a burden to everyone around me?
My anxiety wraps it big ugly wings around me and keeps me from wanting to do some of the most basic things. It keeps me bolted to the ground while my heart still tries to fly. While it’s keeping me confined to the safeties of what I know, it hurts others around me.
It may not seem that way to most, but I’m not enjoying the same things as them anymore. It prevents me from being there on time for people. Ultimately, letting people down in return. Thus making me feel as though I’m just a huge burden for people to be around.
Is there a way to rewire your brain into believing you are enough?
What’s your favorite time of day?
Bedtime has become my favorite part of the day. The house is quiet and dark. It finally starts to cool off in the house cause the sun is setting. My children are not fighting, screaming, or hitting each other. I put on my thunderstorm sounds and grab my book, and enjoy the quietness of the night.
