I had a good cry yesterday.

I let out my hurt feelings and I cried yesterday. My voices were really bad. I said prayers for the first time in a long time. I have a book with some prayers in it by Max Lucado. I didn’t know it but God has been walking with me all this time. Even when things get difficult sometimes I’m always aware of God being just a prayer away. I see all the people reaching out to me and I like it. Things are going well. I had a rough night the night before but I slept well and this morning I woke up early and I took a shower.

I say a prayer everyday.

When I wake up in the morning I say “thank you God.” Before I go to bed at night I say “thank you God”. I sometimes have difficulty sleeping but most nights I’m able to get sleep. The more I sleep the more I heal. I had such trouble sleeping in my teens and 20s that now that I’m in my 30s I know I need to make sure I get a good night’s sleep on most nights of the week. Sleep is essential for my mental health. I have to get to bed by 11 pm and get seven or eight hours of sleep.  I can’t function without my sleep I’ll snap. Sleep is my biggest trigger.

I think there’s a big double standard for young women.

I know I don’t like to be compared to anyone else. I like to be myself and just kind of do the things I do. I feel like as women we get compared to each other a lot. I know I feel uncomfortable being compared to other women younger than I am. When I am compared to a woman my age I will most often welcome the comparison because the woman is my age. I am going to be 38 years old in six days on January 28, 2019. I am looking forward to going out and getting a manicure and a pedicure on my 38th birthday. Younger women have a lot to learn but need to be given the space and the time to learn it. I have things to learn too but I’m open to learning from older women who have things to teach me. There is a lot to be said here. I enjoy cooking and I am going to experiment in the kitchen at home with a variety of recipes to share with my family.

I want to become a mother.

I have yet to find a nice guy that wants to be a father.  I have taken a few breaks with a one or two nice guys but I don’t think any of the guys want to become fathers. I love men but I need to be sexually attracted to a man before I’d agree to a relationship. I have to like the man. If I don’t like the man’s picture then I don’t have a relationship with the man. I have to want to sleep with the guy (do you know what I mean?). If he’s all cute and handsome and we have Chemistry and he wants kids we can go on dates but he has to want me and the baby.
