Paused

I feel like I'm on pause. I can't move forward until I get well. I can't do anything, and it hurts. I can't do anything with my kids because I'm tired asf. I want to talk, but then I don't because I don't wanna complain. I'm so damn weird!! It's like I don't wanna burden anyone with my illness.

Constant bone & joint pain, constant nerve pain....what else can hurt ya know.  Oh yeah my heart, my emotions are all over the place, but I try to be strong. Truth be told, I'm an emotional mess. How do you handle your emotions, but you not want to conceived as weak.

Cancer and chemo are nothing to play with! They will break you, and it's in every aspect of breaking, physically, emotionally, and mentally.  Then you see everyone else living their best life, while you are just trying to live, period. I try to find happiness on my good days, but those are few and far in between. I always feel better about 3-4 days before I have to have chemo again. So, I try to do things, anything just to feel normal.

Different Level

What's Good Y'all!!! I am definitely working on me and my health.  I have been through a lot, but I have learned so much.  I mean the work I have had to opportunity to do has been CRAZY!!  Then to be rewarded for what you do is such a beautiful feeling. We have had a successful movie premier of our documentary, "Sandbranch: The Texas Town With No Running Water" at Urban Arts Center here in Dallas. I have a huge exciting announcement to make, but not yet!!!  Then, on 4/20 we did an interview about Sandbranch with NPR: Consider This!!!  Followed by me speaking at Navarro College to students, student athletes, and staff about Self Confidence and Body Image; I graduated from there in 2004 with my teaching degree.   Then to top it off...we won the Not My Son Community Humanitarian Award 2021 It has been a busy 4 months and we have more on the calendar to complete!!!  N'kole-WarriorQueen What a time to be living & thriving!!!❤❤ When you truly find y...

Baby...it is different!!!

 Man, so I have been adjusting to this new body and it has definitely taken some getting used to.  It is so weird to get the body you have literally dreamed of.  I can't lie I am so scared that I will gain weight and lose this all, but I know that won't happen at all because I am being careful. Now, mentally it has been taxing....like I have no idea sometimes because I am so overwhelmed at times.  Even when I look in the mirror I see someone else, and that has been my struggle.  I have closed myself off to the world because I am in such a protection mode that it's crazy!  I have allowed myself to almost become a hermit if it is not work related.  Like, I haven't done anything but work, and I need to have fun, but my trust is a whole other issue.  "Life can only be what you make it," Mary J. Blige.  Y'all, I have made my life so solitary that it is a damn shame. I am working on getting past that, and I am really going to put myself out there, ...

What's Different?!?!

Well, this is an interesting year so far. Let's just say I will definitely be getting my ass up outta here. I'm so tired of folks acting like I fucking chose to have cancer. Just because I'm cancer-free does not mean I'm 100% healthy. People would rather see me hospitalized, sick from chemo treatment, and broke down because in their eyes I guess that's "Cancer". What is wrong with people?? I've had the last few months to really get back to some sense of normalcy. To really be able to enjoy just not feeling or being sick.  Is that too much to ask? Of course it is๐Ÿ™„*hard ass eye roll* because people know exactly what the hell I'm going through. They can't and won't EVER BE ABLE TO feel nor understand my pain physically, mentally, and emotionally. No one stresses about where they live or are going to live, but I have since day 1. I cannot afford anybody's rent right now,  and I can't work at anyone's job because of upcoming surge...
