I have been called many things in my life by friends or partners. I’ve been called, to name a few: Darling, baby girl, sweet girl, hair nazi, Pickle, Pookie, Little Lady, Little T, a unicorn, and trouble. A few of those I had to have explained to me by other people, unfortunately. I was clueless…

Hi, it’s me, again.
Last year, I was in a dark place filled with secrets, fear, pain, self-loathing, and anguish. In the past six months, events escalated and my fear and anger turned into determination and strength.

Two Roads
“The long and winding road That leads to your door Will never disappear I’ve seen that road before It always leads me here Lead me to you door” – The Beatles I’ve traveled that road many times. For about a year and a half, I had that road memorized. Now, five years later, it looks…

Inner Voice
A friend and I were talking and she was surprised that I have many moments of insecurities and doubts. I have adopted the “fake it til you make it” attitude. I’ve lived this way for so long that I don’t know how to live any other way. On a daily basis, I am extremely social…
Wandering Mind
I have thoughts and ideas racing through my mind all day long. I can organize those thoughts and put them in little categories. Some of those thoughts I dismiss as silly, while others I keep in the front of my mind to follow up on later. This whirlwind of thoughts is what I call my…
The Journey Begins
Thanks for joining me! Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton I don’t fancy myself a writer. I just enjoy sharing the humorous, sad, stressful, and sometimes tragic things that happen to ME. When I stress ME, that’s the only person I mean. That’s right, Murphy’s Law should be…
