January Oh, January, you were quite the whirlwind! I had a boyfriend and thought I was in love, but then came the blues. Trying to figure out family stuff and a one-day job didn’t help much. Getting really sick was tough, but seeing Sarah and hearing her baby news was a sweet sprinkle of joy! 💕
February The blues lingered, but watching the Super Bowl and the Grammys was a highlight! This was also when I realized Izzy was the only family member who truly cared. Got my heart broken and started chatting with someone new—hello, fresh beginnings! 🌸
March March, you were tough. A trip to the hospital for me, and Dad got hurt really badly. Feeling alone was hard, especially as Emily started acting more like Dad. It was a challenging time, filled with uncertainty and heartache. 💔
April Dealing with Emily while Dad was in the hospital was overwhelming. She mirrored his behavior, which was a lot to handle. Yet, there were silver linings—more precious moments with Izzy, and learning to find happiness with her. TTPD’s release and our watch party was a blast, complete with my new TTPD bracelet! This was also when I started keeping my distance from Emily, which ruffled some family feathers. 🥳✨
May I started hitting the gym more, just trying to keep going. It was a month of survival and small victories, keeping my focus on self-care and wellness. 💪
June I made sure to surprise Emily on her birthday with a cake and her favorite food, which made her really happy. But there was a huge fight with Dad, where he tried to choke me, but I had to hold him to the ground. Despite the chaos, I attended Sarah’s baby shower and enjoyed a fun game night. 🎂🎉
July July brought more fights with Dad, who was upset about how I was handling things with Emily. Emily broke my TV in a fit of rage because I didn’t inform her of my plans. I’m 27—I shouldn’t have to! 🙄🖥️
August The absolute highlight of the year—WILLOW WAS BORN!!! 🍼🌸
September More family fights, and I hit another low point. It felt like I was constantly struggling to keep my head above water, dealing with the drama and feeling isolated. 💔
October Izzy and Tia were the only ones who remembered my birthday—not even my boyfriend did, despite knowing how much it means to me. Emily returned the gift I gave her out of spite, even though I made her birthday special in June. A hurricane left us without power for a week, and I got sick. But there were bright spots too—I had a fun Halloween party with Sarah and Willow! 🎂🎃
November I got Bell’s palsy, which I hadn’t had since I was 13. It was scary and painful. This month, I realized I didn’t want to be a part of Emily’s life anymore. While she is still my sister, her actions have made it clear that she can’t be in my life right now. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Izzy and met a great guy who I really enjoy talking to. 💖
December I started making plans to leave my family behind. Soon, I will officially be done with Allison and will start my life as Daisy. I focused on getting great gifts for Izzy and decided not to buy anything for Emily or my dad because I’m done with them. 🎁✨
It’s been a year full of ups and downs, but through it all, I’ve grown stronger and more determined to build the life I want. Here’s to new beginnings and the promise of a brighter future! As always, I’ll see you in the next post! 😘
