I recently moved from my college town back in with my parents. Which is great because it's rent-free and as long as I chip in with stuff, there's not many bills here for me to tackle. I mothereved because I was in a lousy, dark place and was seriously going nowhere--probably backward, actually.

I used to be an extremely motivated and driven woman. I was involved in school, in work, in my relationships, and in my activities. I was proud of who I was, even if I did have a dark day or two.
