Bad habits
I draw a line
I am someone who stands outside the “normal”. I wake up at 5 (or earlier) a.m., I walk first thing first, then train at the gym, then go back home and start working. After work to unwind I don’t watch TV, I don’t scroll the social media, I don’t go out and drink: I read, I write, I listen to audio books or podcasts. I don’t go to the cinema to watch movies, I don’t like to eat out, and I don’t like to travel that much. I don’t feel the need to go on holiday, to stop my routine and do something else, to stop working and relax for weeks every year. I enjoy my days, from Monday to Sunday, I do what I like the most and so I’m content and at peace. I don’t need anything else. I don’t have many friends, I’m not too social, I struggle to make new connection. I’m basically a weirdo.

The corpers' Lodge
In a quaint town nestled between rolling hills and lush greenery, there stood the corpers' lodge—a place where dreams converged, friendships blossomed, and love found its way into unexpected hearts. The air buzzed with youthful energy as fresh graduates embarked on a journey that would forever alter the course of their lives. Among the eager faces was Lara, a spirited young woman with dreams as vast as the open sky. As fate would have it, she found herself assigned to the corpers' lodge, a cozy haven that would become the backdrop for a tale of love and self-discovery. The lodge, a vibrant mosaic of personalities, was filled with laughter and camaraderie. Lara quickly formed a bond with her fellow corpers, sharing dreams and aspirations beneath the moonlit skies. Amidst the chaos of lesson plans and community projects, she found solace in the unspoken connections that tied them together. Amidst this sea of friendship, Lara's gaze often lingered on the charismatic Daniel—a fellow corper whose magnetic presence drew her in. Their eyes met across crowded rooms, sparking a connection that transcended the confines of mere friendship. Unbeknownst to Lara, Daniel too felt the currents of something profound pulling them closer. One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the corpers gathered around a bonfire. The crackling flames mirrored the burning emotions within Lara's heart. In the dance of shadows, Daniel took her hand, and they swayed to the rhythm of a melody only they could hear. The night held promises of love, whispered by the wind and witnessed by the stars. As weeks turned into months, Lara and Daniel's connection deepened. Amidst the challenges of their teaching assignments, they found solace in each other's arms, discovering the magic of love in the most unexpected of places—the corpers' lodge. Yet, like all tales of love, theirs faced trials. The end of their tenure approached, casting a looming shadow over their budding romance. Uncertainty gripped their hearts as the prospect of parting ways loomed large. The corpers' lodge, once a haven, now bore witness to the bittersweet symphony of love on the verge of farewell. In the final days, Lara and Daniel stole moments beneath the shade of ancient trees, professing their love amidst tearful goodbyes. The emotional whirlwind intensified as they navigated the delicate balance between chasing dreams and holding onto a love that had become the heartbeat of their existence. The corpers' lodge, a silent witness to their journey, stood as a symbol of love's resilience. On the eve of their departure, beneath a sky painted with hues of pink and gold, Lara and Daniel stood hand in hand, vowing to defy the odds. Love, they realized, was not bound by time or distance—it was a force that transcended the physical realm. As the bus carried them away from the town that had become the canvas of their love story, Lara clutched a handwritten letter from Daniel—a promise etched in ink, affirming that their paths would converge once again. The corpers' lodge, now a distant memory, remained etched in their hearts as a testament to a love that withstood the test of time. Years passed, and careers blossomed. Yet, like a melody echoing in the depths of their souls, Lara and Daniel's love endured. In a twist of fate, their paths crossed once more, this time in a bustling city where destiny had orchestrated their reunion. The corpers' lodge, a chapter in their past, had paved the way for a future woven with the threads of enduring love. In the glow of city lights, Lara and Daniel found themselves standing at the threshold of a new beginning. The lessons learned, the challenges faced, and the love that weathered storms had led them to this moment—a moment where they realized that the corpers' lodge, though miles away, had never truly left them. And so, beneath a starlit sky, Lara and Daniel embraced a future intertwined with the echoes of their past. The corpers' lodge, a distant memory, had become the cornerstone of a love story that defied time and space, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts.

Back to December
What is that saying thats been going around? 2022 broke me, 2023 destroyed me, and 2024 is my comback? I think thats how it goes. 2022 was defiantly the year that broke me, and this year well yes it did destroy me badly. There have been good moments, moments I am so proud of. But for the most part this year has been experiencing pain I haven't in many years. I am proud of the fact that I was able to go on a week long trip alone, for the first time since 2018. It was a trip that I needed for so many reasons. I got to experience a full week alone, in a small town and state where no one knew me. I stayed in a cheap hotel right off the highway, and behind it was a quiet fishing pond that hardly anyone was using. I sat on the deck of that pond most of the days I was there, thinking and reflecting. Knowing I was originally supposed to be here with someone I considered to be the love of my life was a little gut wrenching. But I also felt empowered that I took the trip anyways, finally doing something for myself and not worry about what others thought.

What My Therapist Doesn't Know. Top Story - December 2023.
It's a freezing day in December, almost Christmas. My breath puffs out like clouds of cigarette smoke in the clear night air of the motel parking lot. At the moment, I wish it was cigarette smoke because I can't remember being this nervous in a very long time. Maybe the Christmas Eve service twenty years ago, when a pushy grandmother shoved her mini-skirted teen granddaughter up to the piano in our little Baptist Church and plopped an unfamiliar piece of music before me, stating, "Missy is going to sing. Play this."

Just a Little Fever. Content Warning.
It started innocently enough – just a little fever. The kind that makes you think a good night's sleep and a few over-the-counter pills will fix everything. Little did I know that this seemingly insignificant fever would unravel into a series of events that would reshape my perspective on life.

Annoying habits - if you don't stop doing that I'm going to scream! . Content Warning.
The rhythmic tapping echoed through the room, a relentless assault on my sanity. It was a sound so innocuous yet increasingly infuriating, like a water droplet persistently hitting the same spot. I sat at my desk, trying to focus on the spreadsheet in front of me, but the tapping invaded my concentration, demanding acknowledgment.
