It's a DuBarr Thing

Don't be a critic of individuals, be one of humanity... Addiction, in its myriad forms, is an aspect of human behavior that we all grapple with to some extent. From substances to technology, we find ourselves drawn to what evokes pleasure or eases discomfort. This isn't just an observation; it is a profound reflection of our shared humanity. While some habits pose significant risks, it’s crucial to recognize the underlying factors that drive these behaviors.  It’s essential to approach the topic with empathy and understanding. Each person carries their own story of influence, shaped by the surroundings and people who guided them, whether deliberately or inadvertently. With every experience, we absorb lessons, leading to choices that ultimately shape our futures. Understanding this complex web of addiction can inspire us to foster healthier habits and create supportive environments for ourselves and others.

Every single day is a battle within myself that no one else see's. My children think that I'm mad at them but the reality of it is that I'm mad at myself. I'm mad at myself for knowing I'd be raising my second and third child alone though I still went through with having them because I wanted them.  That was very selfish of me. Little did I know that it would be so stressful. I say things and express my opinions based on my own experiences.  So, when I say it's not smart to have a child on your own outside of a relationship it's because I know first hand. Being a mom that refuses to give up is the absolute most exhausting job one could have. Did I tell you I'm exhausted?

If you have the opportunity to work, it's important to take it. Your earnings cover not just your living costs but also serve a greater purpose. Even if the job isn’t your favorite, that's perfectly fine. Try to identify something you appreciate about it and hold onto that until you discover a role that excites you more. Always aim to exceed expectations; every experience carries a lesson that can benefit you. It’s up to you to embrace what you learn along the way.
