I was recently on Instagram when I came across a post discussing trauma bonds and what they do to you. It outlined the effects of them, and what happens during one- and after you leave one. I tear up as I write this because I personally don’t open up much about myself and the traumaContinue reading “Trauma Bonds”

Disassembly Not Required
I had a thought spawn from a conversation I recently had. “Would you let him have a mullet?” A question was asked in regards to if I’d let my significant other grow a mullet.
Other ideas and thoughts I’ve had about other topics synced with my reply. I chose to dig deeper and ponder it later after the conversation had ended.
A Modern Woman
Women are beautiful beings. We have gone through so much over time as history has shown us. We continue to fight back. We continue to grow and push past limitations. We start and stay determined at chipping away at boulders that are blocking our path.
Life. Am I Right?
Have you ever just wanted something so bad, have seen it only with a tunnel-vision perspective, then gotten really annoyed something did not pan out how you wanted it to go?
Tales of a ‘Broken’ Family
I once met a person who said they did not ever want to be a part of a “broken” family. Meaning, they did not want their immediate family to be split up by divorce.
Hello You. Yes, You. Don’t Stop.
Don’t stop looking through the windows on gloomy, rainy days.
Then walk away before you have a chance to see the rainbow once the storm has calmed.
Hello, My Love
Hello, My Love As every night closes, and a new morning begins- a fresh start begins, my love. All of the tears you have shed, all of the journal pages you have filled, are all a part of the bigger picture in becoming who you are today. Somedays, you feel like certain parts of yourContinue reading “Hello, My Love”
The What-if Game
I started playing the what-if game when I was young. It began as a fun way to see different outcomes in the situation I was in. Then- I grew up. Growing up can put a damper on the what-if game. You find yourself older. Sometimes you feel down about something or feel like a failureContinue reading “The What-if Game”
An Emotional Abuser
We all have skeletons in our closets. Things we aren’t proud of, or too embarrassed to tell.
We curl up at night and replay those situations that feel like demons looming over our beds. The fear returns for a brief moment because at that time, our emotions were beaten down like a hammer hits a tent stake- that won’t go into the hard ground.
Dating
So, how do I find a balance? Finding this balance is a goal. I know that I can not be the only person out there that struggles with little frustrations of dating and relationships.
High Functioning Depression
Have you ever just hit a wall mentally before and instead of putting it in reverse and backing up like a rational person would, you keep slamming into the wall?
Ugly Hearts
A woman sits at the far end of a restaurant sobbing because she just let someone else take a piece of her heart away. A piece of her light. A man sits in a bar, banging his fist onto the bar top, and his heart feels as used as the stained, tattered bar rag thatContinue reading “Ugly Hearts”
Raised in a Place
As I was speaking to a colleague over Zoom today, I heard it. I heard the place that I come from. It’s the subtle things in my actions, and how I speak that make me remember that I was raised in a place that laid an honest foundation to who I would become- and who I am still discovering.
I Miss You
I miss you means that someone played an unforgettable role in your life.
Love is a Drug
A person can find many loves within their life. The love for a passion, a career, or the love for another person.
