We all die many times

  • The curse of being needed, never wanted

    I grew up feeling unwanted. Apparently, I didn’t attain to some sort of standard that I was unaware of so in place of my innate value, I was taught opportunities to be useful. It shaped how I related to people. It shaped how I formed alliances and friendships. It shaped what I offered, often to… Read more

  • My companion

    There is one piece of subject matter I understand well and am very acquainted with— grief. I think it started when I was a little girl. It was the little things, the silence that should have been praise, the glare that should have been a smile. It evolved into cutting words that never should have… Read more

  • Exploited

    I’ve been seeing something alarming trending lately. I have seen a lot of women come forward and share having been assaulted by someone they either went out on a date with or someone in general. The fact that this is even an issue is alarming, but what is even more alarming is the male response…… Read more

  • Gatekeepers

    Some of us don’t have parents, we have gatekeepers and opposition. But why? Because we were the ones that were born to destroy the illusion, to break the cycle. Because we’re dangerous with regard to the narrative. I’ve noticed within my generation and the few years surrounding my generation, there are a lot of people… Read more

  • A thing about loss

    I know a thing or ten about loss. I’ve suffered a lot of loss. A lot of should have been this way— a lot of this never should have happened. But it was that way and it did happen. It was heart breaking, feeling the pain of the losses rip though my chest, feeling like… Read more

    I can’t say this enough— be yourself, live for yourself, as yourself— not as other people want you to be. Discover who you are, what you like and how you like to live and proceed accordingly. I see so many people making decisions because those things are what their family members want or their boyfriend… Read more

  • who are you when it falls apart?

    When troubles come, what is your go to? What mode do you slide into in order to persevere or get through difficult times? What habits have you developed over the years and are they effective? Do you always come out on top, as unshaken as possible? Or are your responses and reactions to troubling times… Read more

  • The search for humanity pt. 1

    As I’ve been watching the story of humanity unfold as of late, I am not at all shocked at the response or lack of response from people… I understand why people fall in love with fantasies or AI boyfriends or prefer pornography— or whatever it is over a relationship with others. I get it. Getting… Read more

  • Who told you…?

    I know all of us have our responsibilities, but does that mean that we can’t lighten up and have some fun? Can’t we take life a little less seriously? (this coming from the mother of a critically handicap child) I mean really… do we have to be so serious all the time? Since when did… Read more

  • Prepare to feel abundant hope

    I want you to read these paragraphs and really feel into them. Feel the love in each line. Envision it within your mind. Allow the emotion to overtake you. This is how global change begins, in the mind xx What if? What if life was good? No, better yet, what if life was amazing? What… Read more
