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

I'm starting this the night before (Friday @ 8:30 PM EDT) because I don't know how much writing I'll be able to do tomorrow, mostly because migraines and lack of sleep have plagued my existence the majority of this week. Tomorrow is Case Study #2's birthday. I gave him three potential options for a really … Continue reading Misery Wants Company; But Misery Can Kiss My Ass

Happy Friday everyone! What a rough week. I am so physically, mentally, and emotionally drained that I am finding it difficult to move.

Last week I was struggling pretty hard and opened up to a friend.

Despite what the Migraine app claims, I slept horribly (hours don't count unless it's quality sleep). Under normal circumstances the fact that I took two Benadryl for my allergies would mean I would have gotten an extra 2-3 hours of sleep. Alas, around 5:00 a.m. I was haunted by Case Study #2. Note To Self: Change … Continue reading Bright, Blue, and Dark

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

2015-09-10 Miss Poison Honesty, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Honesty, Pieces Of Me, Suicide Prevention, World Suicide Prevention Day

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
