Photo by Tỷ Huỳnh from Pexels So, you’ve been having a rough time and you get up the courage to let it all out. You find a friend that you trust and love. Someone who loves you, wants the best for you, and is an all-round good soul. They listen, hold your hand, and they cry with you... Continue Reading →
Photo By Klara Kulikova on Unsplash.com “I lied and said I was busy. I was busy; but not in a way most people understand. I was busy taking deeper breaths. I was busy silencing irrational thoughts. I was busy calming a racing heart. I was busy telling myself I am okay. Sometimes, this is my... Continue Reading →
Photo by Suzy Hazelwood from Pexels Hey everyone, I’m sorry, but there won’t be a post today. Two days ago I experienced a pretty gnarly allergic reaction. While the worst symptoms have subsided, I’m still struggling. My chest is clearing up, and I can breathe without pain. That’s a big relief! My eyes, however, are still swollen and my vision is limited. Everything looks snowed over and writing this much is a challenge. I’m taking medication, it’s working, but it’s making me drowsy and nauseated. I’m getting better! I’ll be fine in a few days, but I need to take some time to rest and let my body heal. It’s had two blows in the last ten days. It needs rest. I need to rest. Hopefully, I’ll... Continue Reading →

When you walk into my place, you won’t find mountains of boxes, old newspapers, or a maze of dead and useless artifacts. You... Continue Reading →

The last time I did it was way back in February. I think it was the last weekend in February? That’s, what, five months... Continue Reading →
Photo by Hermes Rivera on unsplash.com I woke up this morning in a panic. One minute I was dead to the world. The next minute I bolted out of bed as if my sheets were molten lava. I stood there muttering, “Oh crap,” over and over again. My eyes blinking wildly. Focus. Focus. Is that... Continue Reading →
Photo by Gratisography from Pexels “We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.” ― John F. Kennedy Yesterday marked the thirteenth anniversary of my kidney transplant. Thirteen years. I’m actually shocked. It’s hard to believe so much time has passed. I know it’s a cliché, but where did the time... Continue Reading →
Photo by: Hans Eiskonen on Unsplash.com I should’ve just gone back to bed. I should’ve called it a day. Hidden somewhere safe. Zipped myself up in a bubble suit, and rolled into a padded broom closet. I know it’s usually a room but, in a pinch, the minimalistic solution will work just fine. Mm, yeah... Continue Reading →
