Realness....

"It's safe to say that many of us are not using social media as a way to feel good about ourselves, but rather remind ourselves how many people out there are better than we are."

So I am on a role today. This quote speaks such truth in my life. The pictures I do post are nothing but a glimpse in my life of happiness. Much of the time before or after is different. Lately within the last year especially, I've decided and tried to be more real with people. Realness is key, is it easy to portray or admit, no. But rather than being fake and hiding I want to be real. So many of us, especially as women, connect to those who we can be real with.
I am a wife, who loves and adores her husband, but yet I lean way too much emotionally on him for my happiness. I am a mother, while I love my babies and teens, I struggle with being a mother and want to escape for more than a few days.
I have a potty mouth and rock out to Macklemore as much as possible. I struggle with life and my beliefs all the while deep down I am solid in my faith and know Jesus.
I am currently reading, A Beautiful Work in Progress(a fat girl running miles and miles) and How to Stop Feeling Like Shit, and at the same time, The Broken Way.
I feel that we are all broken at one point or another and we continue to be broken in our own timing yet we choose when and how often to put the pieces back together.
....well that was longer than expected but I feel someone needs some realness today and to know they aren't alone....

     If I had a dollar for everytime I used the phrase, here I go again, I would be a millionaire! I believe that many of us have coined that phrase at least once in their lifetime.
      So in all honesty,  these last few or more months have been a challenge.   Whether it has been my personal life, my family, my marriage, my weight, my mental state, you name it, it has been an ending tornado of events that just continue to swirl.
     After my post yesterday, I honestly felt a weight lifted.  Whether that be due to the rawness of my life I shared or the mere fact that I received more than one like, let's settle on a combination of both.
