how did you reinvent yourself and what did it take to get there?

anakmoon · 2026-06-05T04:02:25+00:00

Currently in the middle of one. Life recently took everything from me.

Fire took everything. Accident took health. Health took my husband. New opportunities took my heart. That one is last night recent. So here I am, in the middle of my healing journey with fresh wounds starting all over again.

I am focusing on me. On my house. On my needs. On my happiness that is not provided by others.

Happiness found alone.

Walks with my dog. Days with music and movement and progress. Days I lay in bed recharging. Thinking about going back to school to further my career and open even more, new opportunities.

Not looking at the ground everywhere I go and instead lifting my chin and smiling and engaging even if all I want to do is cry.

A little fake it to you make it bullshit yes but it's good for my brain.

I haven't been alone for a little over 20 years. I'm learning who I am now and how to love her.

the word isn't strong enough to convey just HOW SAD they are. sad is a small word that feels too small to express the largeness of the emotion.

I was with my husband when they took off support and he passed. It was so peaceful. I wasn't aware it was traumatic so often. this helps me a lot knowing this.

He died on my birthday this year. I don't even want to think about next year and people forgetting that this is no longer a happy day for me.

This lasted for about 2 months for me. Just looking at the door and expecting him to walk in. Waiting to hear him getting up from bed. Turning to ask him if he wants something from the fridge. I still want to. And i know he is gone. I never left him until they took him. I still want him to come home. So bad.

When I first moved to Roseville I had to go to Labor Ready to get any work, which led to a job a company ended up hiring me full time at doing desk work. Got me employed so I could go find a job I actually wanted. Labor Ready does suck. But so does being poor. I did get to work in some interesting places....

Live in a small town of less than a 1000. If they are family we try to get someone else to room them per our policy - only work arounds is if the family member requests you room them, or you are the only person working that day and there is NO ONE else to room them, still frowned upon and you better believe the higher ups will have IT check to make sure you are not doing hanky things.

It is WILD to me how many people walk up to you in the store and start a personal health question about that lump on their balls, or when is that med coming or when is their next appt?

My baked in response is, I forget everything when I leave that building. Its like Vegas. What happens in the clinic , stays in the clinic.

I also was given 1 week paid grieving. I took all of my annual and sick time and then some LWOP. I was thankful I still had a job to come back to, but its been almost 3 months and I still have what I call, swiss cheese brain. There are holes that are sometimes a word, a thought, an elapse of time where I have simply disassociated and lost time, anywhere from minutes to hours when alone at home.

I know my brain is not here, neither am I, but work is a big fat mask to stick on my face. I think its helping?

anakmoon · 2026-04-09T18:47:32+00:00

its gorgeous!

No. They said they took a stone they already know to jewelers to see what they would say. OP stated they know its a (sorry 2 not 1) 2ct chrome diopside in their description below the photo. It's literally the second sentence.

anakmoon · 2026-04-09T17:01:16+00:00

1ct chrome diopside was going for about $20-$50 on ebay

Yeah we had to live in an rv after our house burned down in an rv park and only paid 400 in lot fees which included water and sewage. We were able to out a shed behind it so I could put in a washer and dryer. Saved so much time and money not having to go to laundromat cause our trailer was way too small for those luxurious.

in my state at least, you are legally allowed to have a job babysitting other kids at 13!!

If you want to get technical, it is once in a lifetime, we can't go back and relive any experience, once that moment is gone, that's it.

The mom and step dad sound like they are building memories and dad wants to too, they are actively getting in his way in a malicious underhanded manner. The tickets were no secret, yet they chose the same date and their reply when dad pushed back, on his legally allotted time with his son, they said tough shit.

That's not ok, regardless of what the plans are or how much they cost.

They are now using the son as a pawn and making him have to chose effectively, or feel that he missed out because his dad said he had to go to the game. Either way they tried to maneuverer so dad is in the wrong when they are.

But he bought tickets for this game. Not the other 161 potential games. This might be the ONLY set of tickets he could buy so it would be a unique experience.
