My Classic Rock Life
1. Amanda By Boston The song that started it all. My mother, Shelly, and father, Tim would dance their first dance at their wedding to the song Amanda by Boston. Not only is Amanda a beautiful love song, it was a favorite of both my mom and dad. They decided at some point throughout their many years of dating since teenagers, that if they were to ever have a daughter, they’d name her after this song. A while after getting married and dancing to the infamous song Amanda, my mom and dad would try for a child. A beautiful little girl, and they’d name me, Amanda.

My Lucky Penny
Pictured above is some therapy parts-work I had done with my my E.M.D.R. therapist in July of 2020. To anyone unfamiliar, in a nut-shell, these images represented the different parts of myself ranging from my self-destructive self to my care-free/ joy- like self. This daunting task of evaluating what makes up, well..me, was difficult and made me realize there are many more parts to me than just the self-destructive patterns I had learned and been taught. This was the point in my recovery journey where everything started to make more sense, and as much as I wish I could tell you that was a relief or made life easier, it didn't, however what life had in store for me just around the corner was going to be one of the best parts yet.

I am practically begging my doctors to do what they’re supposed to do, including tests I KNOW I need in order to correctly diagnose me.
