Day 47

(Update: Life Sucks)

JULY 30, 2025

Hiya Hue-mans. 👋🏿👋🏾👋🏼👋🏻

I left an abusive household in June.

I’ve been in that household since 2022. 

And, I’m not the only woman on social media who has mastered the work-life-abuse balance in silence. There are millions of us out here.

The last few months were marked by isolation and one increasingly disturbing act, so that was my cue to get the hell out by faith.

August is nearby, and I’m still struggling.

Rebuilding my life from scratch sucks.

But, I am not living through a diabolical genocide, displacement, famine or another abusive environment, so I’m repeatedly telling myself that I’m in a fortunate position. 

(It still sucks.)

My hope has gone down.

Stress and sleeplessness have shot up.

Yesterday, I reached out to the prayer community I joined in May, because I no longer see how I’m gonna make it out of this mess.

(I’m tapping on the Word and a little delulu to get by.)

No idea how I’m gonna get back to where I was professionally and financially.

So, be prepared for a few boring posts on how I’m failing to rebuild my life after leaving abuse…for good.
