Fight Alone...

They’re all going to frown at you… they’re all going to frown at you… Brows furrowed and arms crossed. Fuming at you for wrongs not personally done to them But it’s their job. I’m standing very alone in a situation that calls for backup. But I don’t have much...

Dead To Us...

Happy New Year, everyone… as is customary, the only thing that can seem to shake me out of my silent streak is a particularly harrowing dream that requires documentation. I haven’t blogged as of recent because keeping busy had kept my mind from exploding. I fear sitting still too long will...

A Little Tired of Being Strong...

Look. I know that I’m supposed to be made of stronger stuff… And that I can weather situations better than most. I can even find a perfect silver lining in the worst situations so that I can give myself the inspiration to keep on trucking. Today? Not so much. I talked to a few people (who...

She Came to Say Goodbye....

There’s something about allowing yourself to be open to meet and know new people. It’s thrilling to gain insight into the lives of others and learn from their experiences and overall, gain new friends. For me… who ALWAYS things about 30 years ahead… there’s a frightening...

Thought’s Orphan...

They used a crank to lower her deeper into the coffin. It was slow and smooth – not jarring. Not disturbing. They covered her over in petal soft comforter looking material. And for a moment, my eyes tricked me in to believing that she looked… relieved; rested; protected like a little child...

I Want My Mommy...

One thing people never tell you as you age and mature – along with the wealth of wisdom they’re usually willing to impart with you is that reaction, that basic instinctual response to distress or hurt NEVER. EVER. LEAVES YOU. Almost 34 years old, I experienced a level of emotional pain that...

Expendable...

aka… Drop Everything! We’ve heard the statement so many times before. “Drop EVERYTHING” – sometimes in commercials for a really good sale. Sometimes from the lips of friends who did it to get to some exclusive event. Sometimes from people who’ve gone through life’s...
