Dear Grandma

I just wanted to let you know that I think about you all the time. Sometimes I swear I can hear you laughing when Chris and I are joking around. I can just imagine what it would be like if you were sitting with us when we are at a movie, or going out to Pho. I really wish you could have come with us before you passed. I think you would like it because I know how much you love hot soup. I think you would be really proud of me. I would love to show you all of my current project. I think you would be fascinated. I told you I could do this :) You didn't believe me, you stinker! :p

Zoey misses you. She's doing fine.. I love having her at my apartment. Finally, being able to have her live with me is fantastic.

Watch over my dad.. I know he needs it right now. It's like.. he needs a little push to go in the right direction. I hope he can quit drinking and get a job. I love him so much and I hate to see him hurting. I don't wanna lose him too.

Chris (or "Bam as you'd call him) is such a wonderful guy and I'm so glad you were able to meet him. He misses you a lot.. he loved you a lot. You and "Bam" sure hit it off! I was so excited.

Thank you for everything you ever did for me.. all the times you sat on the phone with me for hours, raised me growing up.. you were the most awesome mom ever. I couldn't have asked for more.

I hope you're here with me now. I'll never forget you.

Love you. Miss you.
Talk to you soon.

Love you always and forever,
Your "twinkletoes"

All Nighter

So ya.. as I tend to do from time to time, I'm pulling an all nighter again. Today my intention isn't to not sleep at all, I'm just going to sleep later. See, these things sound like a good idea until I'm tired then I feel dumb haha.

So ya.. just decided to make a post because I'm a bit bored haha. I've been chatting with some pretty cool people on Anxiety Zone and I am realizing that I missed the site so much.

For those of you who don't know: AnxietyZone is the site that changed my life, basically saved it. Last year was the toughest year of my life b/c I had sooo much going on: my grandma finding out she had Lymphoma, stress at work, my cat dying, getting a puppy, things with my boyfriend at the time going south. It was just a lot at once. I began having really bad panic attacks, crying all the time, and could barely function.

After quitting my job at Comcast randomly one day b/c I just couldn't take it anymore, I began looking for online help. AnxietyZone was the first place I found and man was that a lucky first try! The people there are so fantastic, and so supportive.

It made me realize I wasn't alone.

If anyone else out there has some kind of mental "disorder" (I hate using that word.. sounds so negative.. can't think of another word right now), please reach out. You won't regret it. It's terrifying, yes, but it's the best thing you'll ever do.

Even if you just need to talk to someone about things going on in your life.. reach out. There are many people who can talk to you :)
