Happy Friday everyone! What a rough week. I am so physically, mentally, and emotionally drained that I am finding it difficult to move. Basically, it's like any other day, but there's the emotional component to it as well. If it were possible to sleep for 24 hours and not get a migraine from too … Continue reading Praise Be Friday!
Pieces Of Me
As A Child…
“As a child I felt myself to be alone, and I am still, because I know things and must hint at things which others apparently know nothing of, and for the most part do not want to know.” -Carl G. Jung: The Undiscovered Self, Jung on Alchemy I came across this quote the other day. I … Continue reading As A Child…
I’m Going To Use…
This about sums it up for me today, people! I went to bed feeling like this. 😦 I woke up feeling like this. 😦 And as the morning has progressed, I'm trying to talk myself off a ledge. Let it not go without saying that the work two doors down is not yet complete, so … Continue reading I’m Going To Use…
Actions & Words
Last week I was struggling pretty hard and opened up to a friend. Most people run for the hills when you're blatant in your honesty with them, especially about anything difficult, but this friend showed me that I was not going to be kicked while I was down, that her arms and heart were open … Continue reading Actions & Words
Bright, Blue, and Dark
Despite what the Migraine app claims, I slept horribly (hours don't count unless it's quality sleep). Under normal circumstances the fact that I took two Benadryl for my allergies would mean I would have gotten an extra 2-3 hours of sleep. Alas, around 5:00 a.m. I was haunted by Case Study #2. Note To Self: Change … Continue reading Bright, Blue, and Dark
This Is One Of My Lines- Do Not Fucking Cross It
I don't write about religion often. Usually I mention it in passing, not as core subject matter. I believe that we are all entitled to our personal beliefs, so long as we aren't hurting anyone. However, when I DO write about religion, it's because something has pissed me off, which brings me to why I … Continue reading This Is One Of My Lines- Do Not Fucking Cross It
Reflecting
This morning is one of immense reflection. Those of us who lived through 9/11 and the aftermath have all lived through a monumental aspect of human history. A friend suggested it was merely American history and I said "It affected everyone, no matter where one may live. You don't have to be American to empathize." … Continue reading Reflecting
National Suicide Prevention Week
I am quite extreme in my openness and honesty in regard to suicide. The more it bothers someone, the louder my voice will become. This is not a subject to be shy, passive, or hush-hush about. It requires a powerful voice. No one has ever accused me of subtly. In 1993, I lost someone very … Continue reading National Suicide Prevention Week
“Get Rid Of Your Americanisms”…
I am a firm believer that no matter where we're from, it is always a part of who we are. The place where we grow up and spend our formative years is instilled in us, no matter how far away we may move. As a Native New Yorker, you will never, ever hear me say … Continue reading “Get Rid Of Your Americanisms”…
Know Your Worth
Anyone that tries to distort your feelings and tell you you're wrong when you know what you just heard is probably NOT healthy for you. It's okay to tell those people to piss off.
