Life and it's infinite joys

Interesting things in Tracey's life...very interesting. I'm not dating anyone special and honestly...I like it that way. At least for now. Maybe someday I will be open to looking at finding that one person who makes my heart beat just a little faster and puts a smile on my face at the mere thought of his name. I just don't want to settle for any man for the sake of having a man. Too many women do that. I've had a couple of friends who have done that exact thing and while I'm no longer friends with either of them...I can't help but think that they are not happy in the choices they have made. I just don't see how they can be when neither of them took time out to heal their wounded soul after very bitter divorces. To have a healthy relationship...one must be healthy within their heart, mind and spirit. Until that happens...the relationship is doomed to fail because the baggage is still rotating on the baggage carousel. I want to buy new baggage with a new man. All shining and clean. Nothing that has been beat to hell.

I've been looking at a house and I have qualified for a loan to purchase it. I just need to get some things cleared up and I will be a HOMEOWNER!!! First time in my life. Scary but yet I'm completely excited about it. My very own place. A place where I can create a loving, healthy sanctuary for me and my girls. No more trailers!!! Life is at an amazing place for me right now. I can only see it getting better. :)

love

It's a struggle knowing he didn't love me and never did. To find out the things he does now for his wife? The woman who is bigger than I ever was, the woman who has been married multiple times, the woman who is tatted up and he hated tats, the woman who shows jealousy, the woman he won't keep secrets from but kept them from me, the woman who is everything he said he hated in me. Knowing all of this has made me hate him. I know it does nothing to him. It will only eat away at me but that has been happening to me for almost 20 years. I can only now admit that I hate this man with every fiber of my being. When I met him, I was in a good place. I was happy with myself, I had friends, I loved sex and I believed in love. In the almost 2 years I was with him, he destroyed every last bit of me. I know it was only 2 years but in 2 years, he obliterated every bit of who I was. Not a day went by where he didn't mentally or em...

Too much...

There are days I enjoy living my life. There are days I thoroughly hate it. Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I almost had a breakdown. Standing there in the aisle, I had to fight, with everything in me, to not start crying. Too much has been hitting me this month and I think I'm at the end of my rope. Beginning of the month, D's new wife sent me a text telling me to lose his number, email and address because I already had my chance with him. I laughed at the absurdity of everything she said in that text as it sounded like something a teenaged girl would write. I haven't wanted that man in almost 20 years, so, she is either highly jealous of his past and any woman he used to be interested in or is extremely insecure with herself and her relationship. Regardless of her mental state, I told her I was just catching up on life with him, but I will respect her request and not talk to him again. I've been told she has been married 4...

A lifetime

I have been mentally ill for as long as I can remember. I honestly don't remember a time when I thought I was worth loving or even being allowed to live. I've been suicidal, I've had a catatonic moment, I've been severely depressed. In essence, I've been a mental mess. I didn't know why. I just was. Doctors put me on medication but they barely touched my illness. The demons were still there. When I went off of the medication, those voices were loud and strong. They controlled me. The problem was...I didn't mind it. It was a comfort for me. It was my safe space. I embraced their words. I know that sounds twisted but mental illness doesn't make sense. One year ago I decided I had enough. I wanted to be happy. I wanted to live my life, not just exist in it. I went back on medication. It helped...for a while. Then those voices started coming back. "You aren't worth i...

Life as I know it...
