  • WTAF, Brain?!

    WTAF, Brain?!

    So, there I was, strolling calmly along a gravel path in “normal” dreamlike fashion, nothing out-of-the-ordinary worth noting. It was a generally nice day with a few clouds scattering the sky. I remember seeing a sign previously, but not what it said, just that it was naming an area where a road would end in…

  • I’m a Whore for Psychology

    I’m a Whore for Psychology

    A favorite thing of mine to say is, “I’m a whore for __________.” I think it lets the receiver know that I’m pretty obsessed with whatever that thing is. It was especially entertaining when I used it on My German for the first time. Language barriers are fun sometimes, even though he speaks English really…

  • My Love/Hate Relationship with “Romance”

    My Love/Hate Relationship with “Romance”

    When I was a little girl in Seattle, WA, I had some BIG admiration for Mighty Mouse (*sings* Here I come to save the daaaay!). I wouldn’t call it a crush, given how smol I was (like 4-ish?!). I doubt anyone that age really understands the dynamics of it. However, I believe this was the…

  • Today is Stupid

    Today is Stupid

    LMAO, yep. AI Generated Featured Picture – SUCCESS (for the record, I typed “Grumpy Fireworks” as the title and hit that “Generate with AI” button)! So yeah. I’ll confess: not much in the mood to celebrate today. Since I started off writing some stuff for a future page (Coming Soon – R4S!) I wish to…

  • I’m Tired

    I’m Tired

    I did a “Life Update” on my FB this morning… this is the way I used to journal, once in a blue moon. It isn’t consistent, but sometimes I just throw a bit out there because everything gets to be too much and I need an outlet. Such is the same this morning, except this…

  • Gratitude

    Gratitude

    Ambigrams are pretty awesome, if you ask me. This is one of my tattoos, which I got ages ago, inspired by my Mentor (Ursa). I was actually IN Colorado at the time of conception, when I spent a solid 6 hours drawing it. It didn’t look like what I have now, though, because when I…

  • One Favorite Moment

    One Favorite Moment

    It’s fairly difficult for me to think back and find a moment in my life that I would choose as a favorite, mostly because those are few and far between. I’ve talked quite a bit in my past entries about how much trauma and strife I’ve been through. However, the one I’m having come up…

  • Forgiveness

    Forgiveness

    During one of my Women’s Support Group meetings for R4S – an addiction recovery program (more to come on that, stay tuned) – we discussed how difficult it is to forgive our partners for the Betrayal Trauma and everything else they inflicted on us. One of the other ladies talked about the overwhelming pressure that…

  • Sundays & Stress

    Sundays & Stress

    I feel like I’m living an entirely different life/reality than I was a year ago. In fact, the war between “Omg, it’s been a year already?!” and “It feels like it’s been much longer than just a year!” hits me simultaneously in moments of reflection like I’m having today. It’s so hard to believe that…

  • Bread Crumbs

    Bread Crumbs

    I feel like this one will be a decent extension (expansion?) of my previous post – “It’s the Little Things“… we shall see. Today, we venture into the world of “Bids for Connection” – which, if I’m not mistaken, was created by Dr. John and Julie Gottman (and for the record, Dr. John looks a…

  • Hypocrisy

    Hypocrisy

    Ok, first off… it’s really difficult for AI to create a decent featured picture for this, so I finally just settled on the one I have. If I had the time (or motivation… ha), I’d draw something up real quick and post it, but… meh. I’m already unbearably late in posting this (we finally got…

  • Treatment Resistant Major Depressive Disorder

    Treatment Resistant Major Depressive Disorder

    First, I want to invite you to check out Shawn Coss and his artwork. The featured picture is his adaptation of Major Depressive Disorder. When I first saw it, I loved it so much that I bought a large print and put it in a frame. It’s so fucking accurate with how this feels that…
