Tiny Trinkets
I have an old aluminum tin that was once used for black licorice. Inside it, I have a few notes my grandmother wrote to excuse me from class. I also had some of those little cards with the name and definition of a person’s name. I had hers in there. I think it’s still in Continue reading

Past And Present
In the past, I did a very poor job. My life literally revolved around work. I molded my personal life around it. I didn’t take care of much at home at all, and I should have because I was caring for another person. I was often too tired to do anything when I got off. Continue reading

Mm Mm Mmm
At this point, there are many. Years ago it was… my innocence, my freedom, my love, my easy trust of others. In recent years it has been… my time & energy, my dreams & desires. Now?

It Really Hurts
There’s a slew of them asked by different people, but all tied to a single theme. “Are you pregnant?” “Have you ever been pregnant?” “Are you planning to get pregnant?” “Do you have any children?” “Do you want to have children someday?” Doctor’s visits, meeting new people… It just goes on and on. I used Continue reading

That Page Slaps (Pre-Write)
I will say this to Miss Lyst… I sincerely hope – Miss – that you have at least completed that series you planned off that Crood fanfic. It’s short for crying out loud! It’s a short off one of your shorty short shorts! Since I won’t remember this post after it’s up – as this Continue reading

I Will Never…
…Give up. Though navigating through years of neglected mental health almost led me in the wrong direction, I am so grateful to have medical intervention to help me. Something that I tell my friends now—since I have the experience—is that there is no shame in asking for help when you need it. I was so Continue reading
