#hashbrownblessed

When you haven’t been grocery shopping in weeks and are desperately digging in the freezer for SOMETHING. Sausage and hashbrowns can be considered a full breakfast, yes? . . . . . #breakfast #sundaymorning #sausage #hashbrowns #hashbrownblessed #ineedtogogroceryshopping #easylikesundaymorning #downtownpensacola #castironbreakfast #thisisnthealthy #upsideofflorida https://www.instagram.com/p/BuRTBUin87v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1h0pra35jzhdr

Today marks 10 years (wow!) since my first suicide attempt. A decade ago, I was so numb, so lost, so broken that I felt like I couldn't breathe. I was life sore and love exhausted. I had nothing left to give. Or so I thought. Turns out, I had a lot left. I had simply lost it for awhile. Take a second today and appreciate all you have. If you're hurt, ask for help. If you're lost, find someone to guide you until you can navigate on your own. I feel very passionately about speaking your truth and showing that you've been bent and broken, but you can come out the other side. I can honestly say that I'm living a life I NEVER imagined. It took hard work, perseverance, medications at times, a lot of falls, therapy, friends, writing. I've had more than my share of backslides. I've been bruised, and beat up, and knocked down. And that's ok. I'm standing. I'm genuinely, to my very core, filled with so much joy and peace that I have to stop and just be in awe sometimes. Life isn't perfect. It's messy. I have bad days still. But it's amazing to be here. I shouldn't be. If you're struggling, I promise you can make it better. If you see someone hurting, reach out to them. You matter. I matter. We matter. Just keep pushing for one more day. I'm happy to be here. Thank you to everyone who has been on this journey. Thank you to everyone who held my hand and lead me when I couldn't see the way. Today, I celebrate! I love you guys. For real. #hashbrownblessed #10years #semicolonproject #survivor #mentalhealth #forealskies #happyday #anniversary #itgetsbetter #lifeisgood #neverthelessshepersisted #justkeepswimming

The requested messages on FB is a goldmine sometimes. Someone would like to friendship with me. And one Mr. Matt Lipscomb thinks I'm white trash. 🤣 Oh. And another me messages me praying for me. 🙏🏼 #hashbrownblessed

day two: crater lake national park and the most snow we had ever seen, the oregon trail coming to life (thankfully without the dysentery), approximately one million rainbows, the sketchiest campground, a snap decision to find a motel, and the world's greatest potatoes #noragretsroadtrip #nograndcanyon #hashbrownblessed #🥔 (at Crater Lake National Park)

Sometimes you think you’re gonna hike a mountain with your pals, and it’ll just be majestically foggy, and it won’t be raining, but then sometimes the Lord is like “LOL YOU THOT,” and you end up on the funniest adventure to date. We might wake up with pneumonia, but #itsfine because we R FREE INDEED!!!!! #hashbrownblessed #blessup (at Pinnacle Mountain State Park)
