My sister and I use to be so close. When she got pregnant with her oldest child I was there for her whenever she needed anything. Little did I know that ment raising her daughter. She was a teenager. Into drugs, smoking marijuana popping pills.
She started seeing another guy who I thought was cool. Until we found out she started pooping pills again and doing Heroin. Then we found out she was doing it while pregnant with her second child. She got sent away to get help. Little did we know it didn’t help. Her baby was born while she was getting help. She was early. The doctors said she may have long term problems.
That little girl was also raised by me. She started to learn things but not as fast as she should have. She’s happy and healthy. When my sister got out she claimed to be clean. She said she’d stopped doing all those things for the sake of her children. Her girls are 4 years old and 1 year old.
But then again she started right back up on drugs. She almost lost her life 3 times you’d think she would have learned her lesson. Like I have kids and I should put them first. I should be taking care of them not making my little sister do it. She didn’t learn anything.
The man she was with got into some serious shit and drug her into it with him so they both did their nails time. They got out and continued to see each other but tried telling us they weren’t. Until she got caught. Welp that shit he drug her into bit her in the ass. While he was in jail she got pregnant. With her ex boyfriend. Who use to be friends with her baby dad.
She started doing drugs again. She got sent to jail while pregnant, because of the drugs. She gave birth to her son at the hospital 5 weeks early. The doctors thought he had so much wrong with him. He was so small he wasn’t gaining weight. They thought he had some type of cancer. So they sent him to children’s hospital. Where the tests came back normal.
Now my sister is 118 days clean and still going. She’s got a job. She’s trying to get her life back together. With a little support from family and friends you can over come addiction. Talk to someone. Get help. Don’t lose your life over this terrible drug.

My Relationship
It all started back in 2013. My friend showed me a picture of this guy, and I thought he was cute. Little did I know he had a girlfriend at the time. His friend (who is dating my friend) could see he wasn’t happy with her, and wanted to help him out. My message to him read “Hey, your cute.”.

Hidden Costs and Lasting Shame of Financial Abuse
I’ve always been responsible with my money. I have a job that pays decently, although (like many in our inflated economy) I should definitely be making more for what I do. I regularly check my credit score. I don’t eat out much, nor do I spend frivolously on non-essentials.

Exploring the Enigmatic World of Reality Shifting
Within certain circles, there exists a captivating phenomenon known as reality shifting. While its roots may be traced back to anime and manga, it's far more than just a fleeting trend. Reality shifting is often misunderstood or dismissed as nothing more but a mere fantasy or a means of daydreaming.

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
