#the strees literally has taken a toll on my body

[hopefulstarfire]

The last few weeks have been nothing but stress from so-called family members we've completely cut contact with. I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop because I know this conflict isn't fucking over because it's never over with those two. But I'm focusing on having fun and unwinding because the stress has taken way too much toll on me. I'm just tired. So. Video games.

Oh that and making a family cookbook. I wanna be able to have a compiled recipe list with family pictures and stories to pass down to my niece and nephew, and if my husband and I have kids for them to have. And that's been really fun. I still gotta reach out to other family members but it's also really cool bc we're bringing in really close friends to us as well on this. We wanna show them that family is what you make it, it's not always just blood ties and sometimes it's better not having blood ties in your life. We want them to know they'll get to craft it for themselves but they'll always have plenty of people in their corner cheering them on.
