Long flights (Traveling to Thailand)

My flight has left from Los Angeles to Hong Kong. As I travel I’m learning/thinking of more convenient ways for me to adjust to such long flights, switching time zones and just making the overall travel experience a bit easier. In my backpack i pack light, i have my essential electronics (iPad, cellphone, camera) with their chargers, a book and pen, and of course my shades and glasses. I also bring along a small roller suitcase which i take a change of clothes for layovers, some underwear and my toiletries and snacks. I must admit I forgot to buy water after clearing through TSA this time so I’m running back and forth with tiny plastic cups on the plane trying not to die from dehydration lol. 
This would be flight number 2 which is a total of 16hrs. I figured i would use the earlier portion of my flight to eat (the food onboard was disgusting btw i imagine it would remind me of prison if i had ever been) and catch some Z’s. If you’re anything like me you probably experience extreme jet lag. I want to be able to enjoy my time in Bangkok as much as possible so I’m using this long flight to train my body to the time difference. So far I’ve slept for about 5hrs. It’s currently 8am in Thailand which is about the time I’ll be waking up for my daily activities. I’ll nap again during our lay over and from their i should have established a decent sleep pattern. 


Also side note, i need to start making more coins because leg space is limited, I’m catching cramps in calves.

What’s Done In The Dark…

You don’t have to look, you don’t have to stress. I’ve learned to seek God first, stray away from anxiousness and confusion. Be direct in prayer and the answer will always be made clear to you.  “What’s done in the dark will come to light”

Apology

 Years ago I use to seek apologies from the people that hurt me. I use to fight tooth and nail for some glimpse of acknowledgment, some spark of regret that stemmed from the pain they caused. I use to explain over and over and over why I feel the way that I do. I use to think satisfaction came attached to a “Sorry” until I realized that the apology was never for me. The other day you told me sorry…but that wasn’t for me. That was for you, somehow someway you feel that if you apologized to me it’ll make you a better person. That somehow someway you saying sorry would lessen the blow of all the hurtful things you did to me in confidence. For you, sorry was to ease your conscience. You knew that it would be meaningless to me because the depth in which you hurt me would never be outweighed by an apology.  That sorry was for you. And if it’s one thing I’ve learned in this life is that I don’t need apologies, acknowledgments or closure to move on. So no, I don’t accept your apology....

Breastfeeding

 I’ve spent the last 13 months with my little one latched on to me.  Recently breastfeeding started to feel demanding. Which was strange for me considering I just always thought it was my duty/privilege. It was an internal battle of wanting my body back and my body not being able to keep up. So I started exclusively feeding at night.  After about two months of this my well rain dry. It was sudden and unexpected. I thought I had more time…or maybe more control? Anyway we woke up for our usual 3am feeding and it was difficult. No one talks about the overwhelming sadness you and your little share at the end of such a nurturing journey. Or the how heart wrenching it is watching your little one be confused about why they no longer can receive that same comfort from your body. No one talks about how for a split second when your body stops or doesn’t do what you feel it ‘naturally should” you feel unfit, misplaced and perplexed.  Our transition to formula went smoother than...
