life sucks
Some days are just hard. I’m not talking days that are imperfect; I mean the ones where you just fell helpless. Days where you want to throw diet out the window, you don’t want to get out of bed, and you can’t bear to watch the news show you watch religiously.
Well I’m having one of those “nothing helps” days. I was doing my daily search for jobs, with about as much luck as always, when I decided to look into temp agencies. I found out that temp places don’t have a section for any form of journalism which for me was, obviously, very disheartening. Then the phone rang and the wind was knocked out of me.
You may or may not recall that I wrote my aunt has brain cancer. Things were looking up, or so we thought, as she passed the sixth month since her diagnosis (she was given 3-6 months to live 7 ½ months ago). The call was from my uncle and he informed us that my aunt is dying. She’s in and out of consciousness and the doctors said to be prepared.
I can’t breathe.
Awww cheer up girl! Sorry to hear about the fam., I know that can be tough.
Days like the ones your describing? The only thing that helps me is music (really, music is one of the only things that makes sense to me anymore). Go listen to your favorite band. If that doesn’t help? Listen to mine!

I feel you. My sympathies are with you. Hope you are well.

Hi–You can breathe; but sometimes we have to tell ourselves to breathe. Even when we have to say it out loud it is okay… Whatever it takes, hold on tight and breathe. Bless you ~karen
My heart goes out to you. Be strong. Be patient. I will keep you in my prayers.
*hugs* My thoughts are with you. It can be hard to figure out where that last ounce of strength is coming from, borrow it from others.
When you can’t run, you walk, and when you can’t do that, you find someone to carry you.
*more hugs*
