The Wonderful Thing About Tigger
I’ll never forget the first time I saw Tigger. That wasn’t his name at the time, but he flinched cried at the sound of what was. He had arrived in my then-boyfriend’s front yard, shortly before we met, skin and bones. He was emaciated and missing most of his fur. When I met him, he was being kept in the backyard, because the plan was to re-home him. I fell in love instantly, I looked up at the man and said, “He’s mine, he’s staying here.” That was the start of our journey together.

Haven Circle
It was late June of 2018. My ex fiancé and I had gotten into another of our explosive, albeit pointless arguments. I can no longer recall what it was about. Before he could walk out on me for the third time that week and disappear into the woods for hours, I stole out the door to do exactly that myself. It was about a ten minute leisurely walk to the maintenance entrance of the state forest; I thought aloud and cried while I walked. What had I gotten myself into? Within a year, paradise had turned to nightmares. I couldn’t do this anymore, but how could I live without him? I needed him. I pushed away the bad thoughts.

What I Learned This Time Around
You cannot escape reality, not even by killing yourself. I spent January 2-4 in a psychological crisis center. It was not my first rodeo. However, it was different this time than ever before. Admitting myself voluntarily while suicidal, I truly dedicated myself to betterment. I think what truly stopped me from attempting was fear: of the unknown, of hurting my loved ones, of the fact that things might just be worse afterwards. While hospitalized, I spent the entire time reading self help books, meditating, practicing mindfulness, and using positive self talk.

Edge of ‘21Top Story - December 2020
If you’re reading this, you got through 2020 somehow. What did it for you? Was it looking towards the next year, the future? Was it focusing on the things that make you feel most comfortable? Was it exploring your creative outlets? It was probably a combination of all of these things. A lot of us spent this year “hiding”; hiding from the plague, hiding from our feelings, hiding from responsibility. One of the easiest ways to hide is to escape, and escaping is best done through media: television, movies, music, etc.
