Today is World Mental Health Day, and as someone who discusses mental health throughout the course of the year, I come up short today. I come up short because I am dealing with my own battles, and they have been cruel to me. Hell, so have the people who are supposed to be "on my … Continue reading World Mental Health Day 2020

Ignoring The Crossroads
When I decided to take "Poison In Lethal Doses" from a printed, exclusive, personally publicized format to an online, public, still personally publicized, but zero profit format, I opened it up in a way I wasn't quite expecting. I won't lie; having experience helped. Having confidence helped even more. In no way was I "just … Continue reading Ignoring The Crossroads
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

Dark Days In America: Part VI
It's incredibly hard to "respect" anyone in the White House who would rather play golf, than honor our Veterans (Secret Service stood under umbrellas while he played solo.), who chooses to place blame instead of immediately sending aid to California, and who has zero compassion, humanity, or empathy. What's worse? I'm sure many of you … Continue reading Dark Days In America: Part VI
Never Give Up…
I will post some new material as soon as I break through my current "funk". I simply haven't felt very good these past few days. I don't know what's wrong, just that I feel dizzy and weak. I know my body really well, so this is not a "doctor issue". I suspect it is a … Continue reading Never Give Up…
Little Unknown Facts
Very few people know this about me, but I was once a Journalism Major. I had a double major (Journalism & Creative Writing) and a double minor (Writing For Television & Languages). I was constantly writing something at the time, and I still have a lot of my notebooks even though I have since moved … Continue reading Little Unknown Facts
