Often times in my life, the harder things get, the more I pull back. It can feel like I don’t know what to say, or that I don’t know how to say it, so I just don’t. I withdraw, even from myself. I get into this rut, and it’s so hard to crawl out of.

Ah, deadlines. I don’t know what it is about it, but I just can’t seem to get it together lately. The end of July brings a few deadlines. I need to renew my professional license (not that I’m currently working, but I don’t want it to expire), and I need to send in the application

You hear the stories of others, watch someone else’s life unfold, and you think to yourself “but that will never be me”. “I would never make those choices, I would never do that.” “I would never be that unlucky.” “I’d never put myself in that position.” “I would get out before it got too bad.”
You never think it will be you Read More »
In a world full of turmoil and pain, I find myself struggling to find my footing. I know what I want, I know what I need, but it doesn’t seem to come easily for me. I’ve been having a hard time lately. I’m feeling lost, betrayed, and so, so angry. Angry about what happened, angry

The cool thing about me is that I never give up. Actually, I might even take that a little too far sometimes, but that’s okay. Things can be bad, I can get beaten down by life, by the world, by whatever. There are certainly bumps and bruises along the way, but I always keep going.
