Cycles

I pulled into my parking spot this morning, put my car in park and started crying.

Whenever I have to deal with Marshall I end up repeating "People are just people. People are just people. People are JUST people," in my head for the next hour or maybe even the rest of the day. I have to or else I will get so worked up thinking about what a seriously pathetic piece of shit he is.

I know that someday this will end in one way or another.
I know that he will eventually get what he deserves.
I know that I can stay strong through all of this and that whenever I feel like giving up a hug from Alikah and her smiling at me and saying, "Its okay Mama!" will ALWAYS be enough to keep me going.
