How are you doing?

I'm thankful for being healthy and blessed with the people in my life, the job I have, and the ability to go to school. But I'm exhausted. I'm in graduate school, but I'm a mom who also works and I'm about to start my internship. I already stay up until 2 or 3 every morning to get homework done, because after work, it's pick up the kids, clean, make dinner, get the kids ready for bed. I work in an emotionally taxing field, and I love it, but these days have been a lot harder.

I'm alone, and I'm lonely. Sometimes, I wish that I had someone to share the load with, someone who gets me and loves me for me, but most of the time, I just don't believe in love like that. And I put a lot of my self worth on my body image. I was fit in the past, but I have let things go and am finding it hard to get back into shape. I base my worth on my body because I have such a dull personality.

I didn't know I was feeling that. I guess I needed to get that out. I'll probably delete this comment, but I feel better now!
