My closest friends and family, my loved ones, are the absolute BEST reflection of who I am. When you have healthy self-respect, self-esteem, dignity, a seemingly unending source of inner strength, and an innate sense of self, you don't wait for some mythological superhero to rescue you. You're your own damn hero, and I'm SO PROUD of … Continue reading Musings Of An Unquiet Mind

No, You’re Not Innocent

2015-07-22 Miss Poison Anger, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Anger, Communication, Friendships, Poison In Lethal Doses, Relationships, Text Messages, Toxic People, Writing

I try very hard not to fly off the handle with people I love/like/respect, but every once in a while someone says something and they take no responsibility for what a comment implies. It's perfectly okay to say "I don't have time to talk at the moment, can we talk later?", but it's not okay … Continue reading No, You’re Not Innocent

For an incredibly communicative person, I don't always want to talk. As a creative-type, I spend a lot of time inside my head. As a writer, it's my job to state the facts, and when writing fiction, it's my job to create a world that is relatable and draws you in. I feel blessed to … Continue reading It’s Okay

Conditions There is a moment when you realize that the relationship you are/were in has more conditions placed on it than you ever realized. This can easily apply to friendships as well. If you abandon, do not expect my loyalty. If you disrespect, do not expect my respect. If you are genuine, don’t turn on … Continue reading Conditions

I decided a few weeks ago to forgo all the "traditional" Thanksgiving Day fare. I did not relish the idea of dealing with a turkey when a good half of it would end up in the garbage or making stuffing because I made it last year and there is simply NEVER enough stuffing one can … Continue reading Overreaching

People often ask me why my name on WordPress is “ScorpionGlow”. Well, I’ll tell you. For one, I am a Scorpio. In fact, today is my birthday. Two, scorpions glow. Of the 1750 known species, almost all of them will show up under a black UV light, thus, giving off the impression that they glow … Continue reading Scorpions Mean Business

It always helps to have a plan, but some days, it's perfectly acceptable to wing it. Over the last ten years or so, I've had a deep, abiding urge to tell a long list of people precisely what I think of them. In many instances, I have chosen to refrain. Not out of fear, but … Continue reading The Decision
