Ten Days Since My Last Confession Part 2

Page 107 of 365. Good Evening Lovies. I know it has taken me a few days to continue the blurb from the other day. 

Honestly, I have been struggling with my own mental health and health in general... I really need to dive back into my writing, as it seems to be the best therapy for me... No one looking at me with confusion or frustration in their eyes ~

NO, I know they are not actually doing that, it surre feels like it some days; when I simply cannot climb out of the rabbit hole my mind seems to drop me in.

Anyways, allow me to explain what I was trying to wrap my head around the other day....

This past week, there has been a video circulating on the internet about a man who was violently kicking and screaming at someone's door, yelling that he was there for their daughter. He was extremely violent, even smashing out the door cam, when the owner of the home kept telling him to leave.

After we have all witnessed the first video, many people felt the homeowner gave the "demented man" too much leeway. They wouldn't have tried to talk him down; many wondering why he didn't contact police. Some spewing that they would have just blown his head off, or other stupid talk.

The second video appeared later on, showing the homeowner returned home AFTER this man had already broken into his home. He ran into his house with a shovel; but unlike the neanderthals that believe they would have come in guns blazing; he managed to talk the man down, realizing he may be in some sort of mental health crisis.

(Please don't get me wrong, I am not sure how I would react if I was presented with the same situation, as I DO suffer from mental health disorders, including cPTSD BUT (and this is a BIG one)... 

I Do NOT believe that mental health disorders are an excuse for bad behaviour. I am sorry if that sounds wrong to you; but regardless of the circumstances, people still need to be held accountable for their actions. 

All too often people use mental health as an excuse to escape the consequences of what they do, and I don't find that acceptable)!!!

Now the reason I struggled with writing about it the other day was how people were reacting to the entire situation. While I am bringing this event as an example, the next part is NOT about him or this case... This case continues to bring up more and more terrifying things about this individual, and I am not sure how to feel about him. I try to keep an open mind about people who have health issues they cannot control; but try to work on them. 

As more and more information comes out, I have to wonder how this person has been able to be out and about, freely when he has been deemed a fairly dangerous individual... at least his previous actions (those on record, and those no one knows about) are showing. I can only say that at the end of the day, I am so grateful for this family that no one was in the house, no child was hurt (this time); and a dangerous person was taken off the streets... but for how long???

When is mental health going to be as important as any other health issue??? When is there no longer going to be a stigma attached to it, where people no longer need to fear openly discussing what is going on with them and how they feel... How they TRULY feel???

I Just Don't Get It

Page 344 of 365. Good Afternoon my dear Lovies. I come today with a story that really affected me. I am going to post the link here, so you can all see what is pulling at my heart strings, both with mad respect, gratefulness and outrage... all wrapped into one. Link :   KING OF THE DAY Now that you have seen the video, what are your thoughts??? I am not one that has the right to throw stones, as I am and never was a great mom. I am not going to make excuses for my actions and take full responsibility for them. I did the best I could, at the time I did them. One thing, my kids can never say, is their mom doesn't love them!!! Before I express what I truly think... I almost feel like there is context missing from this.  I give this man a lot of respect and praise. He saw something was amiss, and instead of ignoring it, he did the right thing to do... The sad part about the whole situation is he DID record it. I mean, it was a good thing to have, it's just maddening that some...

I Will Never

Page 346 of 365. Good Afternoon Lovies. We have finished another work week, and we are quickly approaching the end of 2025. This year has been rough for a lot of people. Honestly, here in Canada it has really been the last 5 years. Watching people suffer, break and even die by the boat loads over these 5 years has been heartbreaking. The worst part about it is none of them died from this supposed COVID. Don't get me wrong, I fully acknowledge that COVID was a serious, serious FLU; but it was NOT what the media and governments claimed it to be. COVID caused hell in ways that has nothing to do with medical! Families crumbled ~ over finances, opposing decisions about the jab, losing jobs, being confined together 24/7. Lack of resources, the mental toll. People who have taken the jab (several of them, even), are dying of rapidly deteriorating illnesses that could only be caused by the vaccination the government forced on people. Unbelievable side effects and devastating diagnosis becau...

Taking on the Corporation

  Page 356 of 365. Good Morning Lovies. I hope you all have a great Monday. We are in the home stretch of the end of this rather insane and almost crippling year, 2025. Today, I, along with a few others, are taking on the big corporation. We are sick and tired of the conditions we have to live in. We are in a first world country, and we pay for the places we live in.  We should be able to live in a safe, clean and secure dwelling... all of which these slumlords are not providing.  So today, after much fandangling, we finally snagged a meeting with the actual owner of the company. I admit, I have a lot of anxiety right now. I have really bad social anxiety, and it seems like I am going to be the one who lays all the shit on the table, and be the voice of the tenants... I AM known as the "one with the voice". I guess it's true. I cannot stand injustices and I really don't like when big corps think they can run over the little guy; especially since the little guy is LITE...
