I Have Random Thoughts

I've never been one to trust people. I still have difficulty. Once I let you in, I sometimes open up too much. This will make you vulnerable to hateful users. Unfortunately I had that issue happen recently. It just confirms my stand-off-ish-ness as a positive quality.

My husband always said that hurt people, hurt people. Lately I've been really hurting so I'm sure I've hurt a few people. But to be hurt by someone for no other reason than them wanting to rain hurts upon me? Who does that?!?

For that reason, at least on here... you won't see many, if any, people in my circle. I'm not ready to let anyone in at the moment.

I'm on SW to openly share my struggles w/ my husband's illness and the changes that are happening in my life as a result. Cancer tears families up folks... it isn't pretty. I never knew this before. Now that I'm going through it I see it is much more than just having a sick loved one. My life has been overhauled and I feel raw and hurting all the time.

But I am fighting. Fighting for my husband, my family, and yes... when I think of it I'm fighting for myself. The last one has become hard lately and I'm ashamed that I have struggles.

I'm thankful for the TRUE friends and supporters that lift my husband up and heap strength upon me. Your prayers are genuinely felt.

Am I perfect? Heck no! Most of you all know me as ''raregem'' and you know I have a naughty nature that is mischievous and fun. That person doesn't seem to be around though and I hope you can stomach me as ''realrare''.

I feel like I'm a two-sided coin. Not two-faced.... but I can focus on what is important and put aside the self-centeredness of a subbie girl that reached out for strength and dominance in ALL the wrong places. Not everyone that says they are there for you really are.

I'm grateful and full of praise for the life God has given me and my family. I'm thankful for real people on here. I'm not interested in players that cast out nets hoping for a bite. I'm not anyone's snack of the day. (thank you very much!)

Thank you for reading,

~realraregem… accept no substitutes!

@olderuncle944 Thank you so very much Sir. I appreciate yours and rose's support. Hugs! I hope I don't become too much of a downer on here. I'm not trying to. It's been hard, I haven't really felt ''happy'' in a while. My heart is breaking all the time. BUT... I also know I have to be strong and uplifting. Everyday is a new battle. And it's much harder on my husband. He's my hero.

@olderuncle944 Hi Sir! He is feeling weak today. He had some pretty strong chemos this week and it takes a toll on him. But other than that he and I are doing well. Hope you are doing well Sir! :)

my heart truly breaks for you. my mother didn't survive cancer and i was her caregiver. Other people were supposed to help, but they didn't. i just want you to know that i know what you have to deal with and what you have to help your husband to deal with. It's really difficult to stay positive and some other people might want you to be realistic, but that can be in direct conflict with being positive.. i know..

@Itsmrsockmonkey I appreciate that so much!
@realrare hugs to my favorite lady..no matter where we've crossed paths all these years you've been a real blessing to me. In many ways I've changed, life has a way of doing that but I'm a better person knowing you.
