I'd like to thank the two people who reached out to me with messages of encouragement, respect, and kindness after my last post about how horrible I am feeling (My feelings have only worsened.). Steven & Tasha; your words genuinely helped me and, from the bottom of my heart, they meant the world to me. … Continue reading Out Of Sorts, And Then Some…
Anger
The Ledge
I'm on the verge of letting go today. There's no way to pretty it up or sugar-coat the amount of pain I am in, both physically and emotionally. I've had enough. Reached the boiling point. Feel as though I am trapped in a maze of never-ending bullshit, and I cannot take another second of this. … Continue reading The Ledge
An Open Letter To The “Person” Who Hurt My Brother
An Open Letter To The "Person" Who Hurt My Brother Let's pretend, for a second, that I don't know who you are. I'd simply hunt you down slowly and throw you to a pack of wolves.

Chained
Part of falling apart means picking up the pieces, even if "the pieces" are, in essence, yourself. It's not an easy step. In fact, it is being made far worse for me by external forces; all fighting to control me because something is lacking in their lives. When you are forced to rebuild your life, … Continue reading Chained
