All That Glitters
Time: 2:40PM Date: May 9, 2022 So… my therapist didn’t reach out to me at all. I’ll be honest, it makes me feel like I’m not important enough to deal with. I thought I had gotten to a point in my life where I wouldn’t feel so miserable anymore. Go figure. I have not. Sometimes Continue reading

Sure Successes
I am always perfectly capable of being impractical and imperfect. If there’s ever been anything that I’ve been consistent with – it’s never completing anything. I have several totes filled with incomplete ideas; and lots of sketchpads full of unfinished art. I’m still staring at the manuscript for a novel I originally published in 2013. Continue reading

Where Are You?
Time: 9:17am Date: September 27, 2021 — I wanted to start off by apologizing for disappearing like I did. My mind tells me to say that I won’t be ‘waxing lyrical’ about what I’ve endured since I’ve been gone. That’s not the correct way to address it though. It wasn’t ‘waxing’ anything. I’ve been through Continue reading

Rat Pack
Time: 11:24PM Date: August 11, 2021 Mood: Mixture of exhaustion and frustration. I’ve been bad. And there’s nothing I can do about it. Let’s talk, shall we? I’ve been away for some time, worried and fearful of what would happen when my medication dose was increased. Did I forget to mention that? I could check Continue reading

The headache I suffered after my class was unreal. I felt like I’d had so much packed inside my cranium that there wasn’t space for much else. The headache still lingers even now. Time: 12:43AM Date: July 28, 2021 I really need to fix my sleep cycle. After I finish this quick update, I’m going Continue reading

Balanced But Askew
Sometimes… I feel like I’m being punished for being honest. When I get asked: “How have you been?” and I have a rotten weekend, what am I supposed to say? “Oh, fine. Do not worry; everything was fine. I absolutely had no problems.” That’s not at all correct. I had so much anxiety rise up Continue reading

Bad Parts With Broken Pieces
Time: 10:24PM Date: July 12, 2021 Mood: Annoyed. I don’t know what to say. I have an entire post written that never saw the light of day. There were podcasts that were never recorded. Because I wasn’t certain that it would be of palatable substance. At the end of the day, I still continue to Continue reading

Bitter Pills
Bitter Pills I can never seem to escape the drumming or ticking in my head. I was struck recently at how fast time is passing. Is it because I’m sleeping more? Am I more distracted? What is it? My mornings are usually so full that when night approaches, most of what I can do involves Continue reading

Frustrations & Recovery
Hey there! Thank you so much for being patient with me. I know I haven’t been posting as of late. It’s not because I didn’t want to. More so, it’s because I couldn’t. In my last post to WordPress, I explained that I was beginning to feel disoriented. My last podcast was verbal only because Continue reading
Hey, Miss J!
