How Friendships Die – Darryl
I have lost many friends in my life. Be it from moving away, drifting apart, death… or – the focus for THIS entry – being completely ghosted out of the blue. And you know… 🤔 as I write this and ponder the many different friends I’ve lost, I realize that I could write a whole…

May the 4th be With You
Oooooh! I love it when Google does fun things. Star Wars Confetti for the WIN! Here is a very cool article, written by some dude named Andy Restrepo – his picture looks very intriguing. https://en.as.com/latest_news/how-to-respond-to-may-the-fourth-be-with-you-n-2/ I am not a hard-core Star Wars nerd, mind you, but I do enjoy the entirety of it AND grew…

The War with Empathy
Ah, yes… empathy. I’d like to believe that most people know what it is and have at least a modicum of it in their repertoire. Sadly, experience has told me otherwise. Empathy is defined as: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. For me… it’s a curse. It has caused me mountains…

Do I Dare?!
Every once in a while I will participate in the “daily prompt” that WordPress so graciously offers (if it intrigues me :P), but those are most likely going to be a short, sort of one-off entry to get my creative juices flowing. As such, I will most likely write a 2nd entry – provided I…

Quote to Live by…
Indeed! And there’s a bit of a story behind it (naturally)… It all started when my pending divorce was near to completion (June of 2012). I made plans with a few close girlfriends and my mom to celebrate the “escape” from Gravity’s clutches. This celebration included a Girl’s Only float trip down a local river,…

The “Slow” Descent
I want my “normal” depression back… If you’ve made it this far into my blog, having read most/all of what came before, you have a decent idea of the severity of my mental health as it stands now, and a relative peek into why (see: The Plague). But for shits and giggles, I’ll put the…

It’s the Little Things
Life has a way of showing up in varying degrees of defining moments. Sometimes, these moments are “good” and have a positive effect. But a lot of times, life hits you in the gut and it sucks whale anus, leaving painful ripples behind for much longer than we’d like. Ah, yes… good ole’ Van Damme.…

Ho-lee Shizlenit!
Ok, so… sometimes I like to watch documentaries or YouTube influencer specials on serial killers or unsolved mysteries, maybe even a few “supernatural” type shows… I don’t have any sort of unhealthy obsession with all that, but it does pique my interest once in a while. I read a book about H. H. Holmes when…

The Plague
This one is going to be ROUGH, folks. Fair warning, most of it will be a recounting of the abuse I endured as a child. “The Plague” is the (very apt) nickname I’ve given to my biological “father” – because he doesn’t deserve to be called a father/dad, or considered anything but a toxic Monster…

Time in a Bottle
One of my favorite songs is “Time in a Bottle” by Jim Croce… I heard it on something The Boyfriend and I were watching the other day and told him I’d love it if he learned that on his guitar and would sing it to me. 😛 I conceded and said, “Ok, just the song.…

Ch’Komi
First, I’m giving credit to Lang Elliot for the featured picture and sharing the site I got it from… but not just that. Definitely go have a listen to the hauntingly beautiful howls of wolves… Wolf Mountain Ch’Komi [chi-koh-mee] is the name of the wolf-hybrid companion our family had when I was growing up. I…

Writer’s Block?!
It’s fairly late, but I’m here… I’ve struggled all day trying to come up with something to write about, but I’m drawing a blank. I even looked at some of the Journal Prompts my EMDR therapist gave me, but muh brains! 😵💫 I guess sometimes it just be like that, ya know?! Enjoy the cute…
