I Remember This day is emblazoned within my mind. I would learn so much within a forty-eight hour span of time, and I would be permanently changed. But no one tells you that when you’re a child. No. They try to keep you “innocent”. Except in my family. My mother decided I was not going … Continue reading I Remember

I'm running out of ways to describe my current state of mind. Earlier this week I had a different sense of self, and then I came home to discover I had lost my house key and the remote for the alarm. Thankfully, they were found and brought to "Lost & Found". I received a return … Continue reading Dazed, Confused, and Out Of Sorts

Hey, everyone. 🙂 It's been a rough time for me. Unfortunately my "rough time" is on a never-ending loop. No one is more tired of it than I am. During all of this chaos and pain, I haven't had "Writers Block", but I have certainly had "Writer needs a break." and "Writer needs a fucking … Continue reading I’m Still Processing

Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I'm not going to lie; today was a rough one. 😦 I made an appointment sometime last month to meet with a spine specialist (read: anesthesiologist). My new doctor had asked me to meet with the in-house substance abuse doctor as well, so she could prescribe the … Continue reading Fighting Your Internal Dialogue

Works In Progress

The start of each new year is often the same; full of diets, gym memberships, promises to work more, or work less; promises in general are a big thing, and most of these "resolutions" are temporary. They last a week or a month, sometimes two, but very rarely become a new way of living for … Continue reading Works In Progress

It's disconcerting to be sitting here several years into this platform, and feel less sure of its direction than I did when I started out. 'Poison In Lethal Doses' was my decision to walk away from something that no longer suited me personally or served a greater purpose, and allowed me to return to my … Continue reading Peaks, Valleys, and Being Named

Hello everyone! It's been a little over a month since I last wrote something for this platform. I don't feel the need to apologize, though. Trust me, sometimes it's better for me to be quiet than it is for me to say what I really believe, at the time, is the right thing to say. … Continue reading It’s Been A While…

Earlier in the day I was thinking about someone I know, and how long he had to keep his sexuality a secret, out of fear that his friends, family, and career would all fade away. It disturbed me. It still does. I'm happy that he was able to tell everyone in his life, met someone, … Continue reading Be Honest With People About Who You Are

I have both nothing to say, and a lot to say, so I've chosen to remain silent for the past few weeks. You can never get into trouble by keeping your mouth shut. I sit here tonight, coughing my brains out, questioning how I somehow got sick in twenty-four hours when I've obsessively taken precautions … Continue reading Empty As A Shell
