What people might say to themselves....during Quarantine


  • Oh good, Easter falls on a Sunday this year.
  • Today is a work day.
  • What day is it?
  • I'm hungry, but maybe I just need water.
  • If no one will see us do we really have to wash our hair?
  • Why do I keep cleaning? Company can't come over.
  • Somewhere it is 3:00.  School is out.
  • If this lasts until summer, do I have to do summer school to fill the time?
  • A bag of chips counts as lunch.
  • Right?
  • I think I want to do something fun with my hair.
  • I cleaned my windows today before painting them.
  • Essential workers are like a life line.
  • I need more pajamas.
  • I need sweatpants that have more of a stretch.
  • Why so much laundry if we never go anywhere?
  • Everyone is overdue for a shower.
  • Can we just have a redo for 2020?
  • You would think I would be getting more sleep than before.
  • I think we will all need detox therapy after this.

I was raised by a strict purity culture, and my father is a narcissistic sex addict

  I would like to imagine life without hidden secrets or agendas.  If my desires could be brought to life my childhood would have been completely different.   ~~~~~ Until recently, I had never heard of the term "purity culture."  When I learned more about it, everything began to come clear to me.  The harsh feelings of betrayal stood out in my life countless times upon investing in space to process all the areas purity culture has entered into my way of thinking.  Purity culture is gender expectations based on a strict stereotype.  Men are expected to be strong, "masculine" leaders of the household, church, and society.  Women are expected to support them -- to be pretty, "feminine," sweet, supportive wives and mothers.  Before I go on into more detail, I can't help but notice things from that stereotype that has definite red flags.  Never once did it mention men are to be fathers, but it surely intended on making clear to state about women becoming su

Every Voice Matters

  I was raised in a household where my voice wasn't heard.  My opinions didn't matter, and my questions were not respected.  The space around me was filled with chaos and noise that didn't make sense to me.  I was surrounded by dictatorship in my own home.  I had dominate people directing me and pushing me to do what they wanted me to do.  Meanwhile a few of us sitting back in agony and confusion of why this was able to occur.  This led to my silence, social anxiety, and self doubt.  The voice inside my head never stops.  It takes on overwhelming pressure to make decisions.  It's confusing when I make a boundary.  Growing up the boundaries were constantly broken, and yet I had no clue what was happening.  Especially because of the fact I didn't know boundaries existed.  The voice inside my head wanted to scream and run and yet I had nothing to say that would make them listen. The lack of confidence in every thing I do is portrayed by my ability to fill my living spa

Blog Party! :)

Image
Through Facebook I have found some more lovely blogs that I love to browse! :)  The ones with stories about their kiddos are fun and inspiring.  I also enjoy reading recipes and I'm thankful for those people out there showing me what to do in the kitchen!  I'm newly married (June 12, 2010) and figuring this all out.  I never enjoyed being in the kitchen that much growing up.  I was in charge of washing dishes, and looking at all those dishes being used........so I never spent a lot of time learning how to do things.  Now I regret it daily. But back to the Blog Party!  I'm a little late but now I'm healthy enough to answer the questions!! To start off, here's a little bit about myself.  I turn 23 on May 5th.  I share a birthday with my big sister and she will be thankful if I don't say how old she is turning (shh! we're seven years apart).  I posted not that long ago a list of 100 random things about me, so go read that if you're desperately wondering.
