Circuit
Darkness. The last thing I ever remembered before the barn. Before the moment he threw me into this abandoned, dirty place. I'd never seen the outside, despite my various attempts to leave. There was no telling if I was in a field, a backyard, on a farm. I tried to listen, but there was never anything but the wind.

The Female Movement
Have you ever seen a friend that's in a relationship she shouldn't be in? Did you say anything? Did you notice the silent signs floating around her? The red, puffy eyes, or the desolate stare? Her unwillingness to leave the house even on nights he's not home?

My Fire
To the one who raised me, Your fire astounds me. Passion flows out of you like a quiet brook in the middle of a forest, elegant and calm. Even when I felt my own fire grow dim, you relit it with your own flame and pushed me onward. You've taught me how to let that light shine even when others find it blinding. How to use what I've been through to make myself stronger and more kind. It may have felt like it was the two of us against the world, but I know you had the only strength for the both of us.

Date Night in a Box
You've probably seen ads for those date adventure books, the ones where you scratch off your date idea and take a photo for the book? Well, I was given another option by my targeted ads that I actually find much easier. Happily is a company that will send you a box each month, of supplies for a date night. It usually consists of some kind of treat you can make together, a fun activity and questions about each other based on the activity you're doing.

Reminders for the Absent Minded
There's no sheet of paper that would be able to fit a list of things I've forgotten. Even if there was that big of a sheet, I couldn't list them because I've forgotten most of them. My mind is a maze, I get lost in a train of thought and everything else around me is no longer there. I don't have the best memory and never had. Even when I was a young lady going back and forth between my parent's houses, I would forget something almost every day.

Obscure Movies for Netflix Bingers
Grace and Frankie / Kimmy Schmidt / Schitt's Creek : Tallulah If you've just finished shows like Grace and Frankie, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, or even Schitt's Creek, you'll love Tallulah. It's heartfelt, comedic, and just a bit offbeat. A woman (Elliot Page) takes an infant from an unfit mother in a hotel room. With nowhere to go, Tallulah finds herself on the doorstep of her ex-boyfriend's mother's (Allison Janney) home and ends up in a lie to get her help.

Cajamarca is The Gem of Peru
Sorry Machu, but anyone who's ever visited Cajamarca, Peru knows exactly why it's such a unique location. I went in the summer of 2019 with a group of about 14 people. We had been to Lima, and Trujillo and the beaches of Huanchaco. Every single one of us was glad we never got to visit Machu Picchu, because we spent so much time in Cajamarca and absolutely fell in love.

To Save or To Steal
Hungry. I felt hungry. But not for a cheeseburger or pasta salad. I felt hungry for something more. Something more in this dull world that could be mine. I wanted to earn something, to be daring, to do something people only dream about. I was craving adrenaline. After this boring routine, it felt almost as necessary as sleep, even more so, like a release.

Dreams
I always dreamed of a home with blue shutters and a light yellow door. The ones with so many bushes in front that you can't see the siding? We'd been waiting for years to buy a house we could call our own. But I was pregnant, and we barely had enough saved to take care of the baby. That old cliche about having love is enough, well in our house, love needed to be enough because we didn't have anything else to go around.

Inherit
Mom was always the tough one. She was tough for us, because she had to be. She had six kids and could tell you what each one was doing on Friday night, the 6th of September. That woman made life so easy, it was like every problem you could ever have, she knew the answer. And she knew how you needed to hear it, too.
