Tomorrow marks the final five days of the Black & White Photo Challenge. I will be doing multiple photos for a few of these, as opposed to individual photos. Thanks to everyone who supported me through this and let me know it was enjoyable. I'll be back ASAP with something substantial. Have a good weekend, … Continue reading Final Five
Writing
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
Returned
It's been over five months and I've missed you all SO MUCH. I wish I was in the perfect head-space for my return, but I'm not. Things have happened, and not happened. Things have been said and cannot be taken back. Things have been done, and subsequently, not done. People have come and gone, and … Continue reading Returned
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)
September
This was the last day of August, at the farm in Lexington, Massachusetts. Went for the tomatoes 🍅 and corn 🌽, and yet again, they had early pumpkins. 🍊 🤦 We CANNOT be friends if you've had a pumpkin spice latte in August, or this early into September. There are rules. Pumpkin spice it up … Continue reading September
Brief Moments Of Joy
I'm having one of those days where I'm upset, angry, hurt, depressed, extremely sad, trapped inside myself, and trying to process each emotion individually. It's easier said than done. Silent migraines have attacked a lot these past few days. They involve little or no head pain, but everything else makes you wish you could treat … Continue reading Brief Moments Of Joy
Reaching Out… What A Fucking Joke
**POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING** I've reached a point in my mental health journey where I'm DONE. I'm not saying this lightly. I'm also not saying anything to seek attention. I'm just speaking. Period. It's extremely important to be honest when discussing matters, such as this. I'm sick of people, their snide, ignorant comments, the stigma of … Continue reading Reaching Out… What A Fucking Joke
National Sister Day
Today is also #NationalSisterDay. Thank you to my unbiological sister, Shani. She's the diamond to my sapphire. We have different parents only because no one would have been able to handle us growing up. Especially since we turned out to be awesome, loyal, bad ass chicks with the world's best sense of humor. I always … Continue reading National Sister Day
National Friendship Day 2019
Today is #NationalFriendshipDay. Instead of tagging those I'm close to and value, I'm simply going to say I'm grateful for my REAL friends. Those who can spend hours talking to me about everything or nothing. Those who are kind, thoughtful, respectful, insightful, caring, nurturing, and who make me laugh. Those who check up on me. … Continue reading National Friendship Day 2019
Maybe No One Has Told You…
"Maybe no one has told you in a long time... but I see you sitting there, feeling so empty. Doubting every single thing about yourself, minimizing all the positive, blowing up the negative, and I know. Sometimes you tell yourself you haven’t done anything with your life and you reflect on all the years that … Continue reading Maybe No One Has Told You…
