Just Winging It

Hi!

If you’re reading this, welcome to my new place to dump my experiences. I find that reading about others’ experiences can sometimes lighten the weight of my own, and maybe by writing mine out, I can do the same.

Quick rundown of my background:

I was raised by a single mom and have one sister who’s a year younger. My sister had a baby in high school, so I’ve been an aunt since I was a teenager and now I have a teenage nephew. I’ve been with my husband for 17 years. We’ve chosen not to have kids (I’ll expand on this later).

We’ve cut ties with most of our extended family due to sexual abuse (more on that when you’re ready for the heavier stuff). I spent a decade as a high school English teacher before leaving the classroom to become a Senior Executive Assistant for the sake of my mental health.
