This is such a hard lesson to learn. It’s not something that is instilled in your brain from one day to the next. It’s been a roller coaster. I wish it was something that came with a snap of the fingers. Zap! Just like that… But it’s not. Some days are easy enough. I wake […]

It’s easy to feel uncared for when people aren’t able to communicate and connect with you in the way you need. And it’s so hard not to internalize that silence as a reflection on your worth. But the truth is that the way other people operate is not about you. Most people are so caught […]

There Are Monsters Under My Bed.
Actually, they are living in my head. For the most part, I do a pretty decent job at keeping them quiet. They do like to come out and play games at night. They rob me from my sleep. They keep me scared. They make me cry. They push me down and try to keep me […]
There Is No Connection In Isolation.
There are relationships in which I have completely succeeded in and relationships in which I have completely sucked in. I am not just talking about “Boyfriend-girlfriend” status. I am talking about relationships with everyone I have met. A relationship is best defined as “the way in which two or more concepts, objects, or people are connected, or the […]
