Chomp & Chewed
Since I’m extra, I would probably sell bread, preserves, cookies and short stories. Over time, I can see myself also selling framed water-colored paintings and inked, colorless sketches. I would eventually advance to selling sourdough bread and from that start selling sourdough veggie pizza. Then, would come the homemade butter and whipped cream. I might… Continue reading

I’m Not That Bitter… An Apparent Storytelling Manifesto
So… I like to tell myself that I’m not angry or bitter over this, but the fact that I consulted Copilot on anything tells you something. I am sensitive about my writing at times and just want some reassurance. Unfortunately, none of my family or even friends are willing or able to provide that. I… Continue reading

8 / 2 / 2025
3:13pm – 3:19pm So, I have decided to start my own website. (Does it count as my own if it’s through here?) MissLyst.com I’ll be clear. I don’t plan to try to make any money off the site. I just want a brand page. Now I can control the appearance of the blog and have… Continue reading

What Should Have Been
I had an epic idea that I had considered while in the shower. Did that idea ever come to fruition? No. Did I think to record them? No. The echoes of those words continue to linger though. They tickled at the edges of my consciousness. I’m in limbo at current, stuck in a place that… Continue reading

Friends. Only Friends.
I would see no need to invite my family. Y’know what’s sad? I recently met a cousin for the first time while scheduling a doctor’s appointment. We exchanged numbers so we could reach out. … Guess who has not reached out? And it’s been over a week now. The last meals I’ve had comradery at?… Continue reading

Ripening With Age
I’ve been told that wine does this, but I have no personal experience. Cheese gets more delicious with age. Many seasonings get better with age. I have no clue why there is an expiration date on basil or garlic powder… Or salt! These seasonings do not rotten. If anything, basil becomes more fragrant and tasty… Continue reading

Questions…
Sometimes I really question things. I question my life. I question my motives. How much of what I do runs on ego? I’m not sure. I do believe that I’m starting to have more “in depth” thinking patterns. Is that good or bad? Continue reading

Broken Vases
I don’t often write much of what or how I’m feeling. A least not recently, not since I started doing the daily prompts. Not in my blog posts at least. Do I?? I’ve been using a paper bound journal to help ground myself. I’m having a bad night… and I have no one I can… Continue reading

This Unfortunately Requires
Sadly, this requires something I don’t have anymore. A career. I had one at one point, then I got laid off, then I couldn’t find work. Then COVID. My dad had a near fatal car crash. I got work, then had to leave due to safety reasons. My mental health deteriorated further, which required medication… Continue reading
Hey, Miss J!
