Hey y'all, I'm still here — unfortunately for my ears 
Tinnitus has gotten extreme, and some days it takes everything in me just to get out of bed. But I do it. I'm working part-time at the university again while running my own business, and I push through on the rough days.
My love life… well, that went downhill too. I'm lonely sometimes because not many people really get what I'm going through. My partner left — honestly, he wasn't a good person, so maybe that's a blessing in disguise.
But here's the thing: my bills are paid, my needs are covered, and if I need to rest when my ears get bad, I can. I'm grateful for that. I can't imagine dealing with this struggle and worrying about surviving at the same time. So I'm hanging in there, thankful where it counts.
