I am exhausted,
all the energy just pours out of me,
To do the right thing.
Its not the doing part, its the after.
So much to do still,
burnt out from it all.
Make it 3 more weeks and it will be fine,
yea, just 3 more.
my own little pep talk.

Closer to the truth

 I feel like I am on my own with all of this. I have been unlucky in the sense that when my sister did her 23andme, she found out everything in one go. People had already found out the information and she didn't need to delve too far to find out who her donor is. I did my 23andme and found out minimal information. Subsequent tests yielded more results but still no where in the realm of figuring out who this person is. It has been tricky and difficult to find out information. It is also an isolating experience because while my family is supportive, they are terrified that I am going to go digging for a new family.  Their fears are somewhat warranted in the sense that I am pissed off at them still, but they will always be my family and they have been trying to atone for past grievances. It's hard to talk to anyone about this because honestly, most cannot relate. I am a 40 year old IVF/ donor conceived child who recently found out and am coming to terms with all the lying and the...

Emotional work and christmas diatribes

 it is tibs eve in our house and I am listening to the quiet pitter-patter of my sister and her boyfriend downstairs.  I am trying not to be angry about the conversation I just had and the emotional regulation that is trying to be projected onto me. My sister doesn't want me to feel the way I do about my relationship with Mom. She has told me to stop talking about the way that I do and that I need to recognize that Mom loved us. While I get that my mother loved me, the truth of that is just as real as my experience with her was. The hardness and the difficulties I had with my own mother is still true at the end of the day. My experience with her is still the reality I grew up with and sugarcoating it because she loved me feels like a form of abuse. It reminds me of what the abused say in order to continually go back to their assailants. They love me, this was all just a misunderstanding. They loved me and it really wasn't that bad... They love me... all the while I can underst...

myself

There are moments, moments when you ask me what is wrong, moments in the day when you question things that I cannot answer. I am enjoying my solitude. a safe place I have created and dwell within. These walls I have built are mighty. No climbing required. If you were allowed in I would open the gates of my caring arms. I am at peace with myself. Figuring out my destiny and life. It is an exciting adventure I am on. A path of self-discovery. I don't need someone to hold my hand through it, that isn't what this is about. Its about Self. Its about perseverance. To rely on myself for change and make my way through the ages. I need myself. and am content in this.
