30 Day Writing Challenge ... Day 11

 


What's up everyone. I know its been awhile. Today's entry, is supposed to be "Your current relationship, if single, discuss that too"

BUT, I don't know if you guys have realized, but I don't talk about my love life (whether I have one or not) online, because of things that have happened in the past. I much prefer to keep that part of my life private. 

SO.....

Instead, I'll be talking about what has been up with me since I last posted. 

As many of you know, in August of 2021, my dad was hospitalized, and then he passed away on September 2nd, 2021. That was hard for my family. If you want a more detailed explanation, watch the video attached at the end of this post. 

Anyway, that sent my mental health in a downward spiral, cause as you know, I was (still am), a big daddy's girl. Then... the day we picked up my dad's ashes from the funeral home in November, I found out that my mother found her husband dead in the kitchen, stroke or heart attack (not sure which to be honest, because I am forever confusing the 2 conditions), which really upset my daughter, cause she loved her Papa. I was sad too, cause even though we didn't always see eye to eye, we were finally getting along. He was a big support when daddy died. Then our cousin Olga passed away. I wasn't super close to her, she was older than my dad if I remember correctly, and she was close to granny and daddy. I remember thinking, "okay, family reunion in heaven apparently" (our cousin Helen passed away in June, and she was close to daddy and granny too)

So through all that, things started to get better between my uncle and I, we were starting to get along, and he was slowly turning back to the uncle I remember when I was younger. Him being my dad's biological brother, I took solace in knowing that there was still a part of my dad here on earth. And then about a week before Christmas, I found out my uncle passed away too ! 

Like, can my family catch a dam break ?! 

Its 2022 now, and HOPEFULLY no more family members pass away this year. I really don't think my mental health can handle it. 

I'm slowly getting back in to doing the things I enjoyed doing before daddy died. I know he  would be mad at me if I kept moping around and basically stopping my life because his ended. I have a child to take care of, and I need to be strong for her. Also, I can't stop living my life and doing what I enjoy. So I'm slowly getting back in to my gaming, and soon will return to streaming. As well, I'm slowly getting back in to posting on my Youtube channel, my goal for 2022 is to reach one thousand subscribers. I'm currently at 755, so we have roughly 10 months to gain 245 more subs. I know we can do it, but I need to stay consistent. Also, I want to get back in to blogging often, hence why I'm here. I know not many ppl actually read my blog, but I find it helps me.

Anyway, thanks for listening to me, and tomorrow I will be back to posting the 30 day writing challenge properly. Hope you understand my decision to write this today instead of going against my beliefs to post about my love life. Maybe one day I will, but for now, its best I keep that part of my life private. 

Don't forget to check out my video about daddy below, and sub to my channel if you haven't yet.
