Hi there and welcome to this Blog. What’s it about? Well just about anything I want to dummy spit about!
The title ‘enuff’ (correctly spelled ‘enough’) is where I am at when I start this weblog. I am a 43 year young woman, a full time teacher with two lovely daughters and a husband who for all intents and purposes is an ok guy but our relationship is over. It has reached the point of enuff! This is because of all kinds of reasons I do not wish to list here but you will find insight into just what went wrong through my posts.
But I might also write about other things to which I will say enuff! If for example I see one more story on ‘A Current Affair’ or ‘Today Tonight’ that blames teachers for the woes of teenagers I’ll want to scream. Or, if they have one more blame game scenario accusing each other of lack of professionalism I will probably want to spit more. What happened to decent journalism for goodness sakes!
And then there are the ‘fun police’. I have had enuff of them too.
No – this is not a whine page and if you think it is – let me know – I hope that if you read it you just might realise there are some changes you need to make in your life. Since I have said ‘enuff’ my depression has lifted, and my confidence and self esteem are finding their way back into my soul. So if I share the journey and it helps just one person it will have been worthwhile.
Then there is the selfish bit. Having a dummy spit is good for me. It gets it off my chest. I have had a life of being unable to express anger and frustration at all. As a child it was an inappropriate emotion to have (you should not feel that way – you should be appreciative) and I abhor verbal and physical violence and since I had kids and realised what it can do I have prevented myself from expressing anger in this inappropriate way. So instead I bottle it up and wait for a crash. This is no good either – it makes me depressed.
As I take the journey to learn to express anger and frustration more effectively, please join me. I am allowed to feel anger and frustration…it is time for me to be able to express it. To say ‘enuff’!
