My Bucket List

Here is a list of things that I want to do before I die. I will add more things as I find more things that I want to accomplish. The ones that I have accomplished I will put in BOLD. and CAPS

I suggest that everyone create a "Bucket List" because it gives you goals and makes you really focus on life and what you want out of it. I am slowly but surely accomplishing these goals on my list, and someday I will complete each and every one of them.

Impending Death

Impending Death

Her life is not her own anymore.
She is trapped within her own body.
She can't interact or even cry anymore.
It is torturous.

When I look at her I can't see who she really is to me.
I have to turn off the emotions and just do what needs to be done.
It is too painful and sickening when I try to think of her as my grandma.
It is heartbreaking.

Each day that I live death is all around me.
There is no escaping it there is no running from it.
It's coming even if we don't want it to, it's coming and coming fast.
It is terrifying.

To watch her go through this is the most horrendous thing ever.
The only good thing about this is that she doesn't know what is going on.
But the bad part is we do know what is going on.
It is misery.

She is having trouble swallowing now, all to suddenly.
We all know where this is headed, we just didn't know how soon.
Even though I block off the emotions, I still weep for her.
It is infuriating.

My Intro

Well I guess this will be my introduction. It’s so hard to just start writing about myself because I never talk about myself, or even think about myself for that matter. I always put people first and usually end up getting burned.

I am 25 years old and I am currently living at home because I am helping my family take care of my grandma who has Alzheimer’s. Living with this disease every single day for the past 9 years has been grueling, hellish, frustrating, and yet rewarding. I have grown up so much in these past 9 years that it shocks me. I have learned that life is so fucking short and you ONLY have today.
I have a lot of thoughts and feelings that I am going to be sharing through this blog. I am going to be open and honest for the first time in my life. No matter what I write, and no matter how frustrated I am in the moment one thing that will never change is that I love my family and I love helping them.

I am trying to live life to the fullest or atleast to the fullest that I can at this moment since I can't fully spread my wings. But someday I will be able to be who I want to be and do what I want to do.

My hopes for this blog is to find myself through writing. I hope to meet people who are like me and who understand me and maybe can help me figure myself out. I have some secrets and feelings that I will write about later when I feel more comfortable. And I will share more about myself in blogs to follow.
