“Family”

I just saw a video that, I think, was supposed to make me call my mom or dad or both and reconcile. The whole, you only get one __parent__ spiel. I'm not with it. The problem with what we've been taught about parents and, really, family in general is that we've been conditioned to see...

“Timelines”

I don't believe that timing is everything. I believe that timelines are everything. Everyone has a fluid life timeline into which life experiences are recorded, and each experience comes with a processing time. I think that the thing to understand is that experiences are spontaneous but processing time is concrete. So what I'm saying to...

“Art”

I bleached my colors for him. In the mirror, I stared my life's mural in the eye and began painting over it - a stark white. I made myself a blank canvas, and still he complained, because in some places my colors peeked through. I tried to tame my vibrant reds, to reduce the bottomless...

“Purpose”

I told my friend that I want to get better with conversation. That I specialize in profound statements, not profound interactions. That I go out of my way to avoid things that create the desire or need for a stimulating back and forth, because there are too many unknown variables in conversation. He said: he...

“Alive” – A Poem

I'm a little skeptical about sharing my words now, since someone took my post ... scratched my name out ... and went viral off of it. So, sometimes - if I'm really really protective over the post - I'll do a video (below). https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154331147246372&id=508671371

Random

When I need to think, I go sit on the nearest toilet. I wont even use it. I just sit there for long periods. Until now, I've been able to contain this in my home. Right now...I've been in this bathroom stall for 9 minutes and counting. This is the start of something terrible lol.

FB Question – So … I saw your husband on Tinder …

FB Question: "What do you do if you see an acquaintance from high school's husband on Tinder?" Ask me a question via Messenger or by using my Contact Form This question is awkward. Like, it makes me feel awkward inside. And it's the type of awkward that you don't recover gracefully from. Like, after you...

“Get You Some”

It was always easy for me to fall asleep with white noise in the background. A constant sound. No unexpected changes in volume or tone. My only complaint was when regularly scheduled programming resumed, abruptly interrupting my constant. In life, love - or the perception of it - became my white noise. I sought love...

“Fit”

It just didn't fit. My wedding dress was too small across the back. Across the backside of my rib cage. Sucking in didn't help. Losing weight wouldn't help. I am an absolute size 6, but my back was too wide. My frame was too wide. My bones were too big. Ladies. A lot of us...
