Transcript
I'm at work, but I had to step out for a second. Because I guess it comes in waves, you know. June 4th, 2026 was the worst day of my life. Worst than any day I've ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever experienced. The worst day. It was the worst day of my life. In the blink of an eye, I lost everything. I lost my marriage. I lost my best friend. I'm losing my home. I'm losing my dogs. My daughter has moved out. And at the end of it all, it's just me, alone. And I really just want to ask God, why do you hate me so much? What did I do in this world, in this lifetime, or anyone, in any lifetime before this one, that this is the result? Why do I keep taking the wrong turns that lead me down a path of destruction? Why does everyone that is closest to me hurt me? Why do I get betrayed? Why do I get abandoned? Why? I just want to love. And why when I try to love, I don't get the love back? And I'm trying to heal out loud, because when it's silent, it's dark and it's scary. And I feel like I'm losing my mind. I don't understand. And I know one day, one day I'll be better. But I want that, and I need that day to be now. I'm so sad. I'm so sad. I just wanted to be a wife and a mom. Above anything else, that was my goal. And that has been taken from me. And I will never love again. And I'll never get married again. So I guess, my goal is, it's done. I'm forced to find a new me. And hopefully the new me that I find is who I'm supposed to be, because apparently this wasn't it. I feel a little better getting that out. Just trying to work through it. Yeah.
