Returned

It's been over five months and I've missed you all SO MUCH. I wish I was in the perfect head-space for my return, but I'm not. Things have happened, and not happened. Things have been said and cannot be taken back. Things have been done, and subsequently, not done. People have come and gone, and … Continue reading Returned

One (A-Deen)

один (1). "Overwhelmed. Disappointed. Hurt. Sadness. Grieving. Struggling. Stabbed in the back. Empty. Trapped. Darkness. Silence. Isolation, but I'm not lost. Beauty in chaos. Trying to find a way back to myself. Living in truth. Attempting to heal. Gunpowder and lead. Through authenticity; anything is possible. And yet, very few people understand that you can … Continue reading One (A-Deen)

Reaching Out… What A Fucking Joke

**POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNING** I've reached a point in my mental health journey where I'm DONE. I'm not saying this lightly. I'm also not saying anything to seek attention. I'm just speaking. Period. It's extremely important to be honest when discussing matters, such as this.  I'm sick of people, their snide, ignorant  comments, the stigma of … Continue reading Reaching Out… What A Fucking Joke

National Friendship Day 2019

Today is #NationalFriendshipDay. Instead of tagging those I'm close to and value, I'm simply going to say I'm grateful for my REAL friends. Those who can spend hours talking to me about everything or nothing. Those who are kind, thoughtful, respectful, insightful, caring, nurturing, and who make me laugh. Those who check up on me. … Continue reading National Friendship Day 2019

Sharing Color

I've been having a terrible, rough time of late. I started writing about it, and was too sick to finish what I was writing, but I'll get there. As we head into this excruciatingly hot weekend (115 degrees with heat, heat index, and high humidity, as well as a few nights in the 90s), I … Continue reading Sharing Color

Midnight Musings

I may have shared the quote below last year around this time, or not. If it's repetitive, it's not intentional. My mind has been focused a lot these days on home and my deceased loved ones. Some people leave their hometowns and eventually feel no ties to wherever it is they're from. I'm not one … Continue reading Midnight Musings

Musings Credited to Insomnia, Migraines, & Humidity

As I went over the feed for this month, I noticed the photo challenge is garnering a nice amount of attention. 😊 Possibly more than the inspirational things I normally share on a semi-regular basis. 🤔 I've also noticed that, each time I'm able to write, the statistics go up even further. Mind you, I'm … Continue reading Musings Credited to Insomnia, Migraines, & Humidity

Instagram > Reality

I was stupid-ish for thinking I'd be okay post-procedure. Pain that is complex, high fevers, stomach related issues, and where did all these bruises come from? Is life even worth it? I often ask myself this question. I struggle every second of every day to survive in tact. This is NOT the life I signed … Continue reading Instagram > Reality
