Photo by: Nick Fewings on Unsplash Do we dare to compare our scars or our pain? Is it measuring contest? Do you have a ruler or should I find one? We can whip it out right here if that will make you feel better. On the count of three? One…Two…Hold up, this is just silly!... Continue Reading →
Photo by: Ye Jinghan To forgive may be divine but, for us mere mortals, is the divine even possible? Should all things be forgivable or is there a line that can’t be crossed? A line we can't come back from? Are there things that are simply unforgivable? Do I really need to forgive to move... Continue Reading →
Photo by: Tonik on Unsplash As a rule, what is out of sight disturbs men's minds more seriously than what they see. ~Julius Caesar I have a very active imagination.

We aren’t meticulously detailing every second of a day that’s been pretty basic. Not a great day but not a bad one either. It was just, you... Continue Reading →
I’m an introvert with moderate, sometimes severe, social anxiety. The idea of social isolation is as intriguing and alluring as a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Stay away from people?

“You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.” – Winnie the Pooh Oh to be a three years old again!
