The Good Stuff

I was raised by a woman who told me over and over again “just roll with the punches”. I know that to a certain point those are words I still live by. But because of the stress and trauma, it has morphed into waiting for the next shoe to drop, waiting for the next bad thing, always being prepared for the floor to collapse beneath me.

The world we thought we were ready for at the age of fifteen/ sixteen years old was a world we created based on the lives we seen the adults around us living, however, now as adults, we have quickly realized that’s not what life is like at all.
