http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uelHwf8o7_U Once upon a time, in an extremely bizarre reality, I was in a relationship I should not have been in. The warning signs were there, but some people burn so brightly that you don’t seem to notice you’re going up in flames and turning to ash. Immensely large red flares of danger were being … Continue reading Once Upon A Time

"Speaker Of Powerful Words" was recently added to my professional bio. It makes me laugh because I don't always realize how much power I put into the words I use.

Some People, They Can’t Just Move On…

Quote 2015-07-08 Miss Poison Honesty, In Memory, Pieces Of Me, Quotes Honesty, In Memory, Mourning, My Grandfather, Pieces Of Me, Quotes, Sarah Dessen

“Some people, they can’t just move on, you know, mourn and cry and be done with it. Or at least seem to be. But for me… I don’t know. I didn’t want to fix it, to forget. It wasn’t something that was broken. It’s just…something that happened. And like that hole, I’m just finding ways, … Continue reading Some People, They Can’t Just Move On…

When I first started writing, the advice that has stayed with me for 28 years is this: Write what you think, write what you feel, and write what you know. It doesn’t matter if someone doesn’t like it. There may have been some profanity thrown into the mix, but that was the gist of it. I’ve … Continue reading When I First Started Writing…

Days

2015-07-02 Miss Poison Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Uncategorized, Writing Anguish, Days, Pain, Pieces Of Me, Writing

The days are filled with terror. Problems piled up so high. Panic sets in, as soon as the birds start chirping. Sleepless nights, filled with anguish. Nothing solved from day-to-day, constantly being turned away. No one has answers and no one seems to care, absolving themselves of any and all responsibility. Reliability is rare, it … Continue reading Days

Self-Centered Planet

2015-06-30 Miss Poison Honesty, Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Writing Pieces Of Me, Poison In Lethal Doses, Thoughts, Writing

On your own self-centered planet... No time for anyone. Believing your own words, as if they're the complete truth. Impressing upon others, that they're always wrong... Invalidating feelings that are actually dead on. I don't have time for nonsense. I don't have time for bullshit. I will not have my thoughts and feelings reduced, not … Continue reading Self-Centered Planet

At this particular point in time, I am having difficulties seeing the silver linings. Life has its ups and downs. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it sucks. We've all experienced this. I'm not quite certain what to do when it's predominantly sucky. I work hard, but there is always a problem that arises and it's … Continue reading Silver Linings

I'm in an ugly mood. I think I went to bed that way, to some extent, which only partially explains my nasty mood this morning. I (almost) never lock my cats out of my bedroom, but when they started their petition to shove me out of bed around 5:00, I silently got up, put grain … Continue reading Moody Musings

You will find that I am almost completely silent on Mother's Day and Father's Day. I lost both of my parents within five months of each other between 2007 and 2008, so each holiday is difficult for me. My parents were young, making it all the more devastating. I have a living, constant reminder of … Continue reading Father’s Day

It's mildly interesting to me that the majority of people don't care how much they bitch to others. They can complain about the same thing every single day for 8-12 hours, but God forbid you want to interject with a thought. Suddenly you're "the enemy" who has interrupted the flow of kvetching. (Please refer to … Continue reading Let Me Know When It’s My Turn
