Someone asked me this question: “After everything you’ve been through, do you still believe in God?” Whew, that's a loaded topic. Kinda top heavy. I'm not sure how to answer you but I'll try my best. Forgive me if I stutter and stumble. Deep breath. Here we go. I believe in a greater power, and... Continue Reading →
“All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost.” -J.R.R Tolkien, The Fellowship of The Ring I’m not lost! I’m standing right here, in the middle of a forest, looking up at the treetops and thinking silly thoughts. Thoughts like: What do you think the trees have seen in the... Continue Reading →
Let’s take a walk, shall we? Not through the forest, along a beach, or up a mountain. The trails we tread won’t be firm or formed by shifting tectonic plates. It won’t be lit by the sun or a street lap. It’s deep inside an ill-traversed cavern full of wonders and dangers. It goes deep... Continue Reading →
Do I love my scars? Yes, most of the time I do, but maybe love is a strong word. I’m not enamoured with these lines on my skin. When I look at them, I don’t feel an intense euphoria and an unconditional affection. My heart doesn’t skip a beat, and my stomach doesn’t twist itself... Continue Reading →
“The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.” - William Shakespeare, Othello I have this weird…twitch? Is that the right word? Habit? Quirk? Compulsion?

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING! Where did that come from? Is my caps lock is stuck again? Weird. Thought I got that fixed. My bad. Sorry for yelling. It's not my style but every once in a while it sorta just slips out. Kinda like…Nope let’s leave that one alone. So many way’s it... Continue Reading →
“If you’re always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be.” Maya Angelou Sometimes I feel like a mannequin in the window of some low rent shopping centre. This anthropomorphized doll with incredibly realistic features. People stop and stare. They squint and turn their heads to the side. They... Continue Reading →

You could be back to your normal routine in a couple of weeks. One procedure to cure an illness that’s been threatening... Continue Reading →
“There's no shame in fear, my father told me, what matters is how we face it.” - George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings There’s a lot to be afraid of right now. World leaders are trying to start wars. An entire country is on fire. A virus is spreading faster than scientists can find... Continue Reading →
I abhor social situations. Big or small. Family, close friends, or strangers. It’s all the same. I feel an overwhelming desire to run, hide, and call my mommy. If I can get out of going then I just won the lottery. If I can’t? Well, maybe it will be fun? Cringe. Here’s the thing: I’m... Continue Reading →
