I rarely post anywhere anymore, hard to be shouting into the void but yeah after 1 year & 1 month since my cancer surgery to remove my very rare 32lb tumor (2-4-25), I found out on Monday the 9th that my cancer is back. So I am beyond overwhelmed because I now know what level of support to expect which is... well... zero. Aside from my teenager & a touch from my oldest. I am not ok. I am so not ok. Just when I finally felt like I could tackle my debt, guess I'm screwed even more.

It's now been 1 year since I was diagnosed with a super-rare cancer. Fun.

In the meantime, I built out a Minecraft server thing for my teen son and built him a website for it, which is a constant work in progress at https://thecatlord.com

The Complicated Kind of Birthday - One Starry Night

Mid-October is equal parts soup, sorrow, and survival. My birthday’s coming this week, my body’s still healing, and somehow, there were rainbows after the rain.

From Pumpkin Spice to Scalpel: My Autumn Reality Check - One Starry Night

On the cusp of fall, I’m juggling milestones, surgery dates, and trauma therapy, searching for survival magic in the chaos.

September Survival Magic - One Starry Night

September kicked off with cancer scans, cooler mornings, and a few too many pumpkin-flavored purchases. It’s a lot, but somehow also not enough.

WordPress Anniversary

a celestial note by one starry night

I think the reason I prefer blogs over social media is that it's exhausting to maintain so many accounts! It's the same people on all of them, posting the same content. I'm guilty of it, too. But if I don't post on all of them, then I'm just screaming into the void.

Social Media is Exhausting

It's so exhausting having an abusive spouse. I feel like my recovery from cancer surgery has been impacted by all of it.

It frustrates me when people tell me to "just leave". Bruh. With nowhere to go, $0, no earning potential, no family, no friends, when even a lawyer told me I would be homeless if I tried to leave... I would love the perfect solution here.

I'm not looking for anyone to respond because no one knows what to say to someone in my situation. I'm just venting.
