The media wouldn’t report this; and, I’m not here to put myself on a pedestal. I’m sharing because feel good stories are few & far in between.

While at the laundromat today, a mother was busy doing her mountain of wash. I could tell she was as tired as I felt. The temps were 90s and it was just hitting early evening.

The laundromat was clearing out some, as customers were finishing up. My Zivah found a little boy, a friend to play with. She does that with EVERY person under 10! No mater where we go. Anyway, this lad was an adorable African American kiddo with adorable curls and such a desire to play.

At the point in time that I was drying my laundry, this momma was still working on hers. Her son was this precious baby ( 11.3/4 months old) running around.

I’ve been in her shoes. She also had a younger baby at home. That laundromat was annoyingly hot… And everyone was tired..

For a few minutes, I played with him with his toy cars. Awhile later, his mom still working on folding, little man Wane was more hot, hungry, and tired. He wanted mommy. He was throwing the tantrum., you know THAT tantrum!!

For me, it was a no brainer. I sat right down, picked him up, and rocked him for a few mins. Maybe that would have freaked you out, but I felt safe to help ease him from crying. I did apologize to his mom for not asking first… But, more than anything, I could feel her sense of relief… He just wanted alittle attention. Alittle comfort, to feel safe and secure…

We’ve all had tough situations, especially single parents. If we can extend kindness in some way, any way… To help make life a bit easier for someone, then we should do so.

I am blessed to have been right where I was needed today.

I’ve been through hell & high waters; but, I’m home… Once again… And my heart is so SO SO HAPPY 💖💖

If you feel like you just can’t let go…. Go against EVERY OPINION and DON’T! (Obviously within healthy boundaries)!

Going through another round of anxiety & depression. I’m exhausted. I’m sad. I’m not ok.

I doubt nearly everything said to me. Every ” uncontrollable and unintentional” misfortune feels like salt to the wound…

Every asshole move from anyone feels as if it’s intentionally meant to carve into my soul deeper.

Sometimes, out of no where, tears weld up… and fall like rain… a monsoon…. what causes it? To be honest, I have no freaking idea… it’s sadness, though…. truly soul shaking grief.

I am tired of feeling like this, though. It appears my antidepressants aren’t even helping. I don’t know…

Once again, I’m feeling so alone in this world. It feels like this, drowning in sorrow. Alone .

I understand we all need one another to make this world operate… But, I’ll never support exploitation of children and ignoring ignorant child labor! Those two tasks are taking place, every day… where MICA, the glitter mineral of makeup, is being mined by children.

These videos may be the very reason you think twice about which products/brands you buy… I know they’ll never leave my mind. The children work in treacherous and dangerous conditions… Just for the minerals to be sold, and the labor to be masked in the process of selling to the consumers.

THANKFULLY, here in the United States, there’s a group taking steps to provide Natural Mica from GA.

Today’s word is youthful.

Good Afternoon, Evening, and Morning.

Somewhere along the way, my beloved idea was dropped in a deep puddle of mud, and lost. This Journal link is something of which I hold dear, and deeply cherish. For these reasons, I’m restarting the travels…

Inquisitive mind inquires 😉 What would you say?

Question of the Day – No. 452

Question of the Day – No. 452
— Read on pointlessoverthinking.com/2019/07/19/question-of-the-day-no-452/

In a world full of people talking,

But saying nothing,

Walking but going nowhere,

Hearing but listening to

nothing

But the voices in their own head…

I want my person…

who hears laughter,

But hears my pain,

Who sees the smiles,

But feels my tears.

A person who never never

Expects me to mask what’s going on,

For the sake of others’ comfort,

Or his/her own image.

Maybe, one day……

Namastè🙏🏼🦋

You have to free yourself from that which is holding you back, keeping you down, and preventing your growth!

Chapters close, Conflict is apart of life… Recognize when it’s time for you to speak & when it’s time for you to STAND.

It’s within you, too live your truth baby! Go with the confidence that your meant to be free.

Good Afternoon, Evening, and Morning.
