24 years of needed closure.
Mom: I’m sorry
Me: For what?
Mom: You grew up having both your parents being addicts.
Me: It could have been worse.

Here’s the Chest X-Ray of a young girl suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death in children and adolescents in the U.S.
What’s the diagnosis?
Engine 22 was working on highway mva on I-90 near the MLK exit. One of our brothers was struck and tragically killed by a vehicle that went around emergency vehicles. Please keep his family in your prayers. Vehicle is a white Chevy Malibu with front end damage. If seen; call 911
“If i ACCIDENTALLY go into the wrong patient hospital room and give them the wrong medicine AND kill them I will lose my job, my nursing license and Im going to jail. What is the difference with a police officer making that mistake?🤷🏾♀️ Can somebody tell me the difference?”
learning to wait 72 hours before i react to things. If I’m still mad about the shit 3 days later then I’ll react but if the 3 days pass and i could care less... I’m not reacting. The problem these days is we react instantly to shit that we won’t care about anymore days later.
I allow myself to have 1 night to wallow after someone hurts me and loses my trust. But tomorrow when I wake up, it’s a new day and that shit is done with.

My therapist once told me: what if your mom never changes and goes to her death bed with absolutely no guilt about all the damage she caused? Your healing can’t depend on someone else deciding they also want to heal.
And it’s been the hardest lesson ever tbfh.
