Find Me

Hello Lovelies!

Hi! I’m just a woman who is still trying to figure out this thing called life, but you can call me Nikki. A mom, travel enthusiast, Starbucks addict who is never lacking for clumsy stories. But pineapples make me happy and palm trees swaying in the salty, ocean air ease my restless soul. Read more about me here.

It’s hard to believe we’ve jumped from this freshman homecoming court to his senior homecoming on Friday. It’s bittersweet.

I’ve watched a lot of domestic violence portraya

I’ve watched a lot of domestic violence portrayals in movies and series. Everyone talks about fight or flight responses in victims. And you see and hear that most.

But, I’ve never seen the freeze/fawn trauma response more accurately portrayed than in this series. Watching her disassociate was more triggering for me than any movies or series that shows the abuse. It’s that moment when a DV victim disconnects from themselves, their needs, their emotions, in order to survive. I remember how I felt just before it would happen. That moment of sliding over the edge in desperation to survive, knowing there would be no more me. My last moments of “feeling” anything. Just a shell of a person left. No emotion. Staying out of the way. People-pleasing to the point that you wouldn’t understand unless you’ve been in that situation of survival. Whatever it takes.
It was the most triggering because those were the times I lost myself the most. Disassociation was the hardest to pull myself back out of. I knew if I was crying on the floor after a night of fighting that at least I was still there. I was crying and upset and it meant I was still feeling. Looking back, it was the times I wasn’t crying or would just stand there and take it that were the most terrifying. It was when it was the worst and you weren’t sure you’d live and if you did, would you find your way back to yourself?

Everyone should watch this. Everyone. Domestic abuse is so prevalent in our society that we all know someone personally who’s experienced it. Even if you aren’t aware.

Not answering a text because you are napping count

Not answering a text because you are napping counts as busy. Not answering a phone call because you’re scrolling Pinterest and decompressing from the day counts as busy. Staying on the couch all afternoon and watching Netflix instead of going out for drinks with friends counts as busy. Technology has allowed us to become so accessible to each other that we need people to now justify why they haven’t responded to a text in 20 min.

Sometimes we have our own issues in life that take up space in our minds and hearts and it requires so much of yourself that there is very little energy left over.
It doesn’t mean that those friends and family are any less important, it just means you’re prioritizing yourself.
AND THATS OK. Say it again… that is ok!

He tried 🤷🏼‍♀️

Giving up coffee has been one of my biggest challenges over the last few weeks so my once a week Starbucks treat evolved to a pink drink because there’s something about making the trip to Starbucks that still gives me the feeling of treating myself to my once a week splurge.
