Unintentional Hiatus

So much has gone on since my last real post. I had emergency surgery on my left breast, I moved to Seattle to be with Scarlet and Onyx. While that doesn’t seem like a lot to most people, it’s a lot for me. I moved 3000 miles away from my family, friends, everything I knew. I’m used to seeing my loved ones on a regular basis, so already having gone a couple weeks without seeing them has taken its toll on me. Since I’ve moved out here, there have been a few issues already. Arguing, crying, talk of me going back home.

While we’ve dealt with those issues and handled them justly (read everything is okay now), I’m still dealing with the stress from my surgery (having to change the dressing every eight hours), and being away from my family. My mother is my best friend, so not being able to see her and only talking to her on the phone is extremely difficult. Some days are harder than others, that’s to be expected, but the hard days are made easier knowing that my family supports me in my journey and “following my heart” as my mother put it. It’s also easier knowing that I have two people who are willing to sit with me while I cry my eyes out.

My hiatus from blogging has been entirely unintentional. As Scarlet put it, it’s funny how life gets in the way about blogging about life.
