This is an experiment in writing and thinking and communicating. There is not yet any set idea for what I plan to write about, for the time being it is whatever I am thinking about on a given day.
I Don’t Hate You
I look at the world these days and the news and protests and women’s rights and gay rights and wars and I genuinely don’t understand it. I don’t understand how it is so easy for so many people to look at someone who is different than them and rather than thinking “we’re different but we…

Boys Need Love Too
I’m reading The Lord of the Rings trilogy with my stepson (don’t worry, we read The Hobbit first, I know what I’m doing) and a few nights ago we were reading the scene where Sam thinks that Frodo is dead and has to decide what to do next. (I guess slight spoiler alert for a…

I’m Better Not Healed and I Live In a Sick World
Health and healing is the most infuriating journey I have ever been on. When the journey started I didn’t even understand that I was sick because the main symptom was (and continues to be) crippling fatigue. (There was also A LOT of vomiting in the beginning, sometimes it shocks me to remember how used to…

I’m a Parent
It continues to be very uncomfortable and hard for me to claim that title. (Which in many way is comical since I just got distracted from writing to print out my stepson’s missing assignment list and write him a note telling him to have a good day at school tomorrow.) There is a strong message…

Don’t Worry I’m Ashamed Of My Body Like I’m Supposed To Be
(Image from Eros: The Garden of Love Tarot) I was home alone the other day because my husband was out on a bike ride. I was lounging in bed naked except for my bathrobe which was falling open a little because of me moving around. I just felt really really sexy in that moment. Then…

When I Was Little I Thought I Was Stupid
(Image from The Messenger Oracle) Truly. Our education system is set up for only certain types of learning styles. For anyone who learns in a different way school is torture at best. I’m garbage at memorizing most things, to this day I don’t know my multiplication tables past three (okay and most of my fives…

Introverts Need Friends Too
Sometimes that makes it easy to forget that I also need other people. When I lived alone I sought out friends more because there wasn’t anyone in my house but living with my husband and my stepson I’m much less likely to seek out friends. Despite knowing that I need to nurture my friendships if…

I Have a Tiger by the Tail
I have done psilocybin mushrooms maybe six times in my entire life. While it is something I have enjoyed every time it is also something that I feel like if I did too often it would take away its power. Most of the times I have ingested it I have had some kind of profound…

Alcoholism and Other Vices
Growing up I was aware that my dad drank. Vodka martini with lemon at fancy restaurants, Dos Equis at Mexican restaurants, sake at Japanese restaurants, I always knew what he was going to order. At home he bought vodka by the handle. Cheep if his business was struggling or nicer if the business was doing…

Nobody Gets Off the Planet Alive
(Image from The Dark Manson Tarot) How’s that for a cheerful title… It’s strange in this little writing experiment I’m doing I have zero concern about strangers reading and what they might think. I have a lot of stress around what the people in my life will think when they read what I have to say.…
