I Can’t Believe This Needs To Be Said
It's all black spots around my vision right now. The entire week has been a struggle and a daze for me. Yes, I've shared a few things on social media this week and made sure my website was updated; but that doesn't mean I'm all right! I'll respond to people when I can. I will … Continue reading I Can’t Believe This Needs To Be Said
This Is Where We Are 💔
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz_j7nVCJJ0 Almost fifteen years later, and this song still hits me the same way. I'm surprised the lyrics aren't tattooed on my back! Today feels incredibly heavy and I don't know when that will stop.
Preparing To Sit Shiva
Update on 6/20: Link was removed around the $4650 mark by the person who started it (A cousin who I am not related to, as I am family from the other side.).

“Death abides by no one's rules...it takes what pleases it without consciousness to its decisions. It destroys what it will. It took the pieces of perfection I once knew and shattered them. Now what remains are shards of a dream, drawing blood with every step.” ―Cassandra Giovanni
The Heart Mourns…
"The heart mourns people and places and returns to them in dreams…” ―John Geddes
You Left Ground and Sky Weeping…
“You left ground and sky weeping, mind and soul full of grief. No one can take your place in existence, or in absence. Both mourn, the angels, the prophets, and this sadness I feel has taken from me the taste of language, so that I cannot say the flavor of my being apart.”―Rumi
In The Face of Trauma: Fatherless Daughter
Last month, my doctor asked if anything specific was triggering me. At the time, I couldn't think of anything. Until a specific day came, and I broke down in tears for hours. It had been a long time since I'd allowed myself to do that. 😦 The majority of my breakdowns are quiet. Real quiet. … Continue reading In The Face of Trauma: Fatherless Daughter
