Of late, I've noticed people feel incredibly safe behind their computer-based bubbles, but I often wonder how real people are being. Sometimes, stories don't add up (You can't bullshit me, I have common sense.), and other times, it takes about two seconds for someone to get offended by the simplest thing. What is that you … Continue reading There’s A Difference

Which is precisely why the word "END" is in the word "FRIENDSHIP". I've never ended a friendship out of bitchiness, jealousy, pettiness, or malice, but anyone who has shouldn't be allowed to call themselves a woman.

Last week I was struggling pretty hard and opened up to a friend. Most people run for the hills when you're blatant in your honesty with them, especially about anything difficult, but this friend showed me that I was not going to be kicked while I was down, that her arms and heart were open … Continue reading Actions & Words

I don't write about religion often. Usually I mention it in passing, not as core subject matter. I believe that we are all entitled to our personal beliefs, so long as we aren't hurting anyone. However, when I DO write about religion, it's because something has pissed me off, which brings me to why I … Continue reading This Is One Of My Lines- Do Not Fucking Cross It

This morning is one of immense reflection. Those of us who lived through 9/11 and the aftermath have all lived through a monumental aspect of human history. A friend suggested it was merely American history and I said "It affected everyone, no matter where one may live. You don't have to be American to empathize." … Continue reading Reflecting

National Suicide Prevention Week

I am quite extreme in my openness and honesty in regard to suicide. The more it bothers someone, the louder my voice will become. This is not a subject to be shy, passive, or hush-hush about. It requires a powerful voice. No one has ever accused me of subtly. In 1993, I lost someone very … Continue reading National Suicide Prevention Week

I am a firm believer that no matter where we're from, it is always a part of who we are. The place where we grow up and spend our formative years is instilled in us, no matter how far away we may move. As a Native New Yorker, you will never, ever hear me say … Continue reading “Get Rid Of Your Americanisms”…

In the suburbs, it seems that people are always trying to "top" one another by adding on to their homes. In this particular area we all have about the same amount of physical land, but the houses range in size ever so slightly. Most of the homes are pretty standard 1-3 bedrooms with one bathroom, … Continue reading Pass The Hammer

I'm a pretty dark person. I have a wicked sense of humor and I'll say anything goofy to make someone laugh, but when it's my life, there isn't a lot I perceive as humorous. I'm not the kind of person who laughs at someone else's pain or who enjoys hearing about someone's breakups, divorces, illnesses, … Continue reading Pull The Covers Up And Leave Me Alone
