You've seen the title of this piece, so let me start by saying this question has been asked of me by my doctor, and it's a long story. Overall, my best response was, "Someone who isn't an asshole. Someone who isn't going to waste my time, and someone whose office I will not leave more … Continue reading What Are You Looking For In A Therapist?
Imbolc 2021
Imbolc is celebrated today until tomorrow, at sundown. It is directly in between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Traditionally, this is a fire festival, but seeing as how it's snowing, I might light a candle later and meditate on it for a bit.
Where Did This Month Go?
I blinked and it is January 31st. Another mindfuck. I've had a lot to say, a lot to think about, and a lot I didn't write this month.

I noticed how few people posted about this today. While you're preaching about whose lives matter the most (I've seen full arguments about this all over the Internet.), maybe you should think about history and get behind issues you wouldn't like to see repeated. I may not be perfect, but at least I stand for … Continue reading Holocaust Remembrance Day 2021
When You Come Out Of The Grips…
“When you come out of the grips of a depression there is an incredible relief, but not one you feel allowed to celebrate.
