Jeremiah 29:11 was the scripture verse on my devotional card this morning. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Plans not to harm you. My God blesses me. My God is good toContinue reading “It’s not over yet”

I’m tutoring a professional athlete
And I think that’s really cool. Like a legit pro athlete, making the big $$$, on TV, that kind of pro athlete. At our first session, his agent was there the whole time. Like how wild is that?? I’m tutoring him and his wife in English and I love it. They’re such a lovely coupleContinue reading “I’m tutoring a professional athlete”
Hate + Mental Health
I swear I always get the most hate on Tik Tok when my mental health isn’t as strong as it can be, or maybe it’s just that I feel it the most during these times. Anyway, I’m filtering my comments again because I don’t need to be reading people’s insecurities and internalized misogyny when theyContinue reading “Hate + Mental Health”
Columbine
I’m applying for jobs because I need to gtfo of my current school (don’t worry, we’ll go into that). I had an interview on Thursday and spoiler alert: I didn’t get the job, but tbh that’s fine. I applied Wednesday morning (the last day before the application closed), they called me that afternoon and askedContinue reading “Columbine”
I’m going to be in the news again
The reporter (very kind) is doing my story and told me he contacted the Will County State’s Attorney office to ask about my case, and they told him they were reviewing my case. If that’s true, great, if not, I know political talk. But, I’ve decided (as I shared) that I’m not going to pursueContinue reading “I’m going to be in the news again”
A year ago I wanted to die. And tonight I danced.
Tonight I got up and danced. Well first I worked out and then I jammed to my music and just danced. And it felt good. A year ago I wanted to die. Literally. I remember sitting in my car, sobbing, because I didn’t want to be alive. I wanted to die. I wanted to beContinue reading “A year ago I wanted to die. And tonight I danced.”
My abuser is banned from talking to the Judge in our court case 😳
Yep, as of today. Like there’s an official court order prohibiting Mat from communicating with our judge. On February 2, Mat emailed the Judge in our case. He said this: “So Sarah Manos has given out my person information to the point I had to change my number and did over 3,000 in damages toContinue reading “My abuser is banned from talking to the Judge in our court case 😳”

We won.
Mathew Berry owes me $162,338 for abusing me and my dogs and killing my dogs. Justice is served.
“I hope you can move on”
That’s something I’ve heard on more than one occasion from people close to me, namely family members. It came from a place of love but this idea, that statement, is very harmful. For the REST of my LIFE, I will carry this trauma with me. Until the day I die. It will forever and alwaysContinue reading ““I hope you can move on””
