You can hang that shelf up on your own. You know this; I know this. You’re nothing if not a capable, independent woman. Some might even call it hyper-independence, but that’s between you and your therapist.

When The Pain Is Unescapable . Content Warning.
The journey in trying to move forward from the pain of the darkness hasn't been easy. I'm in love with the south how easy it is here. I don't want to recall my terrible memories; don't want to be remember them.I just want to wash my hands of the past, so I can flourish in the light. The hurt I experienced for one year. I just want to reinvent myself. What no one understands I don't want to be reminded. I say, I don't want to be reminded, yet this is wrong respected.

The Imposter. Top Story - June 2024. Content Warning.
May 21, 2024 - from my notes app I noticed something as I read the comments on my most recent Top Story. It is easier to type a "thank you" in response to all the wonderful comments, especially when you want to say "you don't believe it."

Echoes in the Fog
Every night for the past month, I've been having the same dream. It's the kind of dream that leaves an impression so vivid, so intense, that you can't shake it off even after you've woken up. It's a nightmare, really, but not in the traditional sense. There's no monster under the bed or shadowy figure chasing me through endless corridors. Instead, it's a nightmare that feels eerily real, like a memory replaying itself over and over.
