Christmas in Texas.

This Christmas we decided to visit my grandpa and grandma in Texas. This was a great idea until we learned we would be driving. We packed everything up Friday night and got up at 3:45 am Saturday and headed to Texas. We drove to New Mexico and got there around 3 pm. We got to the hotel, put our bags in the hotel room and drove to get the car washed, get some food, and get my mom a camera. We ate at the Owl Cafe in Albuquerque and it was SO GOOD. After eating we headed back to the hotel and got dressed to go swimming. The hotel had a really nice pool, hot tub and sauna. The next morning we got up at 6:30 and packed the car then went to have breakfast. After breakfast we got in the car and headed to the post office to mail some post cards. We drove for the rest of the day to Texas. We got to my grandparents about 9:00 pm (because you add an hour), we unpacked the car and got the air mattress set up and then went to bed. We woke up the next morning and watched TV, we ate sandwiches and watched more TV. Monday my brother flew in and so my dad and I drove to the DFW Airport to pick him up. After getting lost about 3 times we finally figured out where we were supposed to go. We picked him up and headed back to my grandparents house. We ended up getting stopped by a stopped train. Insanity at its finest folks. 
notice the train truck is sitting to the left of us....the guys texting on his phone. 


we finally got back to my grandparents house and watched some TV. 

Christmas Eve, my grandpa made Crockpot Christmas Crack.

Christmas Day we opened gifts and watched the Dr. Who Christmas Special.

blood

 family is not always blood. blood is not always family. family is not always safe. sometimes your chosen family and found family is safer than your blood family. realizing you were no longer safe for me was one of the hardest pills I ever had to fucking swallow. family is not always blood and you are no longer my family.

it gets better

when i was in high school, i did not feel like i belonged. i was suicidal, i struggled with depression, anxiety and an eating disorder. i was sure that i would end it all. i never thought that id make it to college. never thought that i would graduate high school. here i am, writing at 12:48 am about my past and im filled with gratitude and tears. i graduated high school but not only that i beat my eating disorder, i got help for my anxiety and depression, and i even got a tattoo to remind me where ive been. it gets better. it truly does. ask for help, talk to someone. even if its just a friend. thats how it can start. it truly does get better. i know it may not feel like it now but it does and one day you will look back on your life and be grateful you kept living. i see you. im here. i hear you. i love you. you are worth it. you are beautiful.
