Unsure, Uninspired, Unmotivated

April 6, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

I can’t believe it has been over a week since posting a blog post! I was super occupied last week on Instagram hosting the #RockYourLilly challenge – which was a huge success. I was so happy to see over 500 posts for the week! So thank you so much if you participated and supported me through that.

But I’m not gonna lie, I am feeling super unsure, uninspired, and unmotivated – like most of us are. Last week the challenge distracted me, but this week I need to face the music.

I wish I could go on with life and be content as normal, but I can’t. Now more than ever it’s difficult to get inspired and find things to write and post about. On the personal side of things, each day seems to bring a new battle and some days are better than others. Some days I am highly motivated – I do my workout, eat, clean, get dressed, and get stuff done. Other days I eat 20 Oreos and cry because I want this all to be over.

It’s interesting to think about considering my life isn’t all that different during all of this. Grant has worked from home for years, and I’ve been doing school online for years. It’s crazy how big of a difference going out and about in the evenings can make to your mental health.

Why am I writing this? To let you know you’re not alone! And even when someone’s life looks amazing online – it may not be. I’m really hoping to get back into the swing of things blog-wise over the next week. Even if I just write one blog post a week, it’s better than none.

Every day I pray for the healing of our country. I pray to God that someday soon things can be as normal as possible. If there is one thing this situation has done for me, it has made me appreciate the little things. I hope you’re all doing well and staying healthy and sane.

Thanks for reading,

xoxo
Jayme

Last week I was supposed to be graduating from the Last week I was supposed to be graduating from the fertility clinic I’ve been getting treatment at since January. Instead we were told our baby girl no longer had a heartbeat. Thanksgiving is supposed to be a time to be thankful, and this year that is extremely difficult. 

For the rest of our lives we will question why this happened to us. We’ll wonder who she would’ve looked more like? What color would her eyes have been? Would she have loved the things we loved? I will yearn for you forever, baby girl. A piece of our hearts will always be with you, our first baby, now in heaven.

I’m sharing this not for pity or for attention, in fact I’ve felt very embarrassed to share. But I noticed after sharing my IVF journey a few months ago it opened a door for conversation. Conversations with people who have been through it, are going through it, or are curious about the process. These conversations are so important to break the stigma of fertility treatment regardless of your age or diagnosis. While I don’t share every detail of my journey, I’m choosing to share this to show it’s not always a straight and narrow path. 

So if you’re reading this and resonate, my heart is with you. You are not alone. You did nothing wrong. If you’re reading this and know someone going through it - I urge you to reach out. Whether it’s to tell them you’re thinking of them, or whether you’re offering a helping hand. This experience is isolating, scary, and confusing. I promise you that if someone has shared their journey with you and you decide to stay silent, it hurts.

Hurtful and unhelpful comments will be deleted/blocked.
