Okay, so starting off my new year not in the greatest way that I wanted to start. I am hooked on the game boarderlands on the ninentdo switch. My So got me into the game which he loves playing video games.
Now the year is upon us with these last two days of 2020, I can't believe I have had a rough, exhausting, somewhat drama this past year. From the time my son was born with covid in the mix down to my niece being born right on christmas day at 11:31 pm. I can't say that this year has been a blessing, but ending with most of my family getting covid.
I know people around the world have struggled with the pandemic and yet a lot of people can't afford to pay anything at the moment, my heart goes out to those that can help. I pray that those people who are sick can fight the covid virus, those who can't pay I hope you find help from those.
This year my new goal is to write more, try to stay off my video game for a bit, watch my children grow, make more home made meals at home and workout out as much as possibly along with drinking more water. I do need to find the help to make money which of course is by trying to do this more often. With the year ahead to look forward to, I have my kids birthdays, my in laws, my SO and my son's first birthday to look forward to. My SO is doing better as a first time father then what I could expect but I can't say that he has been getting better. I have notice that half the year I have been taking a pill that has been calming and relaxing for me that has helped me with my angry and that things are quite calming for me. Which of course it makes me less angry.
Over the past year things have been rocky for my SO and I because we had our son and dealing with lots of family issues. I never really understood why my family always offers to help but then doesn't. I have told them time and time again that they have lied to me and my family. Yes, things have been a struggle but we always made it better. I know its hard for anyone to prepare but over time things get easier and are very comforting. I know in new year's eve who my first kiss will be, it could be my son or my SO.
It's very hard to say goodbye to the year because not only people have had a rough time but also good things that have made their way into peoples life. For example, the covid relief that has helped millions of people along with unemployment and food stamps. I must say that has been very helpful, but with the election going which I won't began to start that up, I believe that Trump is fighting for his people to have a chance at having a home. My SO and I don't get into politics because people have dumb things to say about one person or another. The way I look at it is, if you think that he's not good or anything but want someone who is worse fine. I just think taking things into your hands isn't the way to go like rioting, or trashing the places you live in. That's all I will say for now, but in other words let's have a good year in 2021 because who knows there will probably be good fortune in the year to come. So let's make these last two days of 2020 the greatest because you know what 2020 has been very rude to everyone. I say let's have a party, whether it's just your family or you, dance it out, make a good dinner, watch a funny movie, laugh more because I know we all have cried a lot during this year. I know I did, but I know there are good things coming this way. So hey don't look down, don't look at the past but keep moving forward no matter where it takes you. Enjoy the ride, enjoy the new things to come.

Staying Silent
Last night was the worse possibly night I had ever felt due to what's been going on in my little family. There was a time during my high school years I was very quiet and didn't speak my mind because I thought would hurt someone feelings. Though growing up and seeing a few of my friends and even my family do it, made me think I should speak my mind. Over time I realized I needed to be open with my mom and my dad, so I did. They knew that I wasn't going to stay quiet but what I didn't know is that my angry was getting the best of me because I had so much angry against my dad leaving me. Different situation, but moving on I knew with all that angry I couldn't hold back what needed to be said. When I got older that's when I had to do some confrontation with my dad and express how I felt when I was growing up. Seeing how things are going with my little family, and seeing that my SO is just taking orders from his dad who calls him and he does things for his dad. If I call he won't do the same for me like he does for his dad. What i also find petty is that tonight is his work Christmas party and it's family oriented and his dad told him is I go that his girlfriend won't go. It seems to me that they don't like confrontation about anything, that they live in a world that is just about them. I keep thinking that this is how I am, and I know our son will be outspoken and be able to talk to us unlike the way of his staying silent. I can't say that there are a lot of people who are comfortable with doing that. Now that my SO knows that he can be outspoken with me, he does try with his family but they automatically think he has angry and that's not true. I think he has angry pent up from him growing up and he really hasn't spoken his mind to his family, he was a very quiet type. Knowing that I haven't left him because his family just makes it seems that I'm so bad for him but yet when anyone dates a hispanic man or woman we all have to speak our mind.

It is through fostering a reliable bond between a couple that a marriage is likely to be thriving. It is rather a laborious process, which involves a lot of efforts, communication among all the team members and a good knowledge from everyone. In Islam, dua is one of the crucial elements which not only fortify the ties and understanding between spouses but ensure that the relationship remains harmonious.
