Dear journal,

    I'm just going to say right now this month is going to be hard. Family holidays are still so tough even after losing yet another family member in Oct. the person i thought was going to live a long time, didn't. Never thought my dad would pass before i turned 40. I heard a lot of people say that Grief gets easier over time. But last week in a class i'm in i was told everyone deals with grief in their own way and there's no right or wrong way to do so. i'm still heartbroken over losing 70% of my family already that i should have all this stuff nipped in the behind but i'm just now learning how to express myself. so i'm starting this blog as a way to get everything off of my chest. 

    a little back story is i have been homeless, a reborn drug addict, dealing with mental health, domestic violence and bullied for as long as i can remember. the reason i said reborn drug addict is because when i tell people im in recovery they want to judge me and when they find out that im homeless they usually say its because of the drug use. you see you cant always judge a book by its cover. i was homeless way before i turned to drugs to numb my pain. see i love to spread awareness about what really matters to me. even though im in recovery for myself i stand side beside harm reduction. especially the 

    Virginia Harm Reduction Coalition (VHRC)  is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit, peer-run organization mission is to improve the health of the drug-using community we serve by advocating for, developing, and implementing evidence- based solutions to address the adverse effects of drug use.(WHO WE ARE) *(carrynaloxone.org)

    its crazy for me to write on here, right? well see yall later for now
