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)

A Broken, Pretty Mess

When I came home Wednesday afternoon, after being at the doctor's office for HOURS (You know your doctor is good when EVERYONE wants to see her.), I didn't realize how awful I felt. I remember coming inside, hanging up my coat, taking in the mail, feeding Cat and Kitten a little earlier than usual, changing … Continue reading A Broken, Pretty Mess

Out Of Sorts, And Then Some…

I'd like to thank the two people who reached out to me with messages of encouragement, respect, and kindness after my last post about how horrible I am feeling (My feelings have only worsened.). Steven & Tasha; your words genuinely helped me and, from the bottom of my heart, they meant the world to me. … Continue reading Out Of Sorts, And Then Some…

The Ledge

I'm on the verge of letting go today. There's no way to pretty it up or sugar-coat the amount of pain I am in, both physically and emotionally. I've had enough. Reached the boiling point. Feel as though I am trapped in a maze of never-ending bullshit, and I cannot take another second of this. … Continue reading The Ledge

Triggers

December. My new month, chock full of triggers. I woke up Thursday morning and didn't know where I was. From the colors around me, to the sounds; I was completely and utterly disoriented. And then, it came crashing down on me in one fell swoop; it's December 1st. Last year, my life changed drastically on … Continue reading Triggers

Saying Goodbye

I've never been happier to say goodbye to a month. 😦 The month I most look forward to every year, October, has been bitter, painful, and full of things I do not want to take into the coming month, or any month in the future, for that matter. I feel like a snake, preparing to … Continue reading Saying Goodbye

Insomniac City & Other Feelings

There is something about summer that causes terrible insomnia for me. It's not just the blistering heat & humidity of the days (and many nights). Even on cooler nights, I find myself completely and utterly unable to sleep. It's awful, especially when I'm yawning at 7:30 PM thinking "I can't wait to be in bed … Continue reading Insomniac City & Other Feelings

For a Torture To Be Effective…

“For a torture to be effective, the pain has to be spread out; it has to come at regular intervals, with no end in sight. The water falls , drop after drop after drop, like the second hand of a watch, carving up time. The shock of each individual drop is insignificant, but the sensation … Continue reading For a Torture To Be Effective…
