If you've wondered where I've been and what I've been up to, Instagram was probably a good place to start. I wasn't posting too much of the personal journey, which is ongoing, but I was active enough to make a dent in this crazy world of balancing life with social media activity. When it comes … Continue reading All The Messy Shit (At Least It’s Honest)
Honesty
The Past Few Days 😔
Yes, I'm writing. Yes, I am on top of product reviews like you wouldn't believe. Yes, I need a break. I am giving myself permission to take that much-needed break. I've done ALL the hard things. I've buried almost all of my relatives. I've taken care of others to the breaking point. I've been selfless … Continue reading The Past Few Days 😔
Impolite Zionist
I'm fed up. I'm also sick and tired of this. Leading up to every major Jewish holiday, attacks begin in earnest and it triggers everyone's PTSD. People I know have spent so much time on the phone of late, trying to track down relatives after each attack. This is not how anyone should have to … Continue reading Impolite Zionist
Writing Challenges, Ideas, and Being Realistic
As a writer, have you ever gotten in your own damn way? Maybe even not as a writer, but as a creative person? Over the past few years I have written four novels. Three are fully-fleshed out, while one was a side project I wanted to keep in development since I wrote it in pieces. … Continue reading Writing Challenges, Ideas, and Being Realistic
Full Disclosure
I have taken the ads down. When I was trying to post my views on the shooting in Philly, due to the ads, I was not allowed to use the words, "Police Shooting of a Black man", "Murder", etc. That's NOT okay, because that's exactly what happened. I am uncensored and unedited by others, so … Continue reading Full Disclosure
Current Mood > Assumptions
I keep asking myself when a day won't feel, "rough", "tough", "heartbreaking", "emotionally taxing", "lonely", or "deeply upsetting". The fact of the matter is, as someone who rarely cries, I've been an emotional tornado. I've cried so much over the past few days, and that only angers me. In the past week I've nearly hyperventilated … Continue reading Current Mood > Assumptions
Yesterday
Yesterday was one of the most jolting experiences I've ever personally witnessed. It might rank up in my top five. My body is still in fight or flight mode, and I don't feel it ending any time soon. 😦 I have tried to take my anger out of the equation, but that has left me … Continue reading Yesterday
A Splash of Humor, A Heap of Honesty
Started a post early this morning that isn't done yet. When a migraine threatens to birth enormous puppies of agonizing torture through your skull, you need to sleep and hope it'll help. Unfortunately, I woke up and it was worse, so I left a message for my doctor's office to get back to me. My … Continue reading A Splash of Humor, A Heap of Honesty
A Changed Woman
I've been writing almost as long as I've been alive. I certainly recall times when being on the computer was not my first thought each day, but these past few months have taught me to back off. They've taught me patience, which is not an exact science (I'm still extremely impatient with myself, and with … Continue reading A Changed Woman
One (A-Deen)
один (1). "Overwhelmed. Disappointed. Hurt. Sadness. Grieving. Struggling. Stabbed in the back. Empty. Trapped. Darkness. Silence. Isolation, but I'm not lost. Beauty in chaos. Trying to find a way back to myself. Living in truth. Attempting to heal. Gunpowder and lead. Through authenticity; anything is possible. And yet, very few people understand that you can … Continue reading One (A-Deen)
