Life isn’t meant to be easy, only simple. We aren’t meant to make it through unscathed but with stories and lessons. The people that you’re meant to keep around won’t make you feel bad for being who you really* are. If you never have to tell someone that you’re upset, hurt, or “no” in theContinue reading “Poetry Series – Weekend Falling”

Poetry Series – Feelings
Sometimes I wonder if I’m being too harsh. I have this tendency to pendulum from one extreme to the next as I seek out balance. I went without boundaries for so long that sometimes I set the shock of my electric fence too strong, arrowed innocent bystanders out of fear of them being enemies, buildContinue reading “Poetry Series – Feelings”
Poetry Series – Three Twenty
I’ve been more inconsistent here than I’d like to be but I’m releasing judgment on the fact that I started a new job a week ago, had a chaotic week before that, and am finding the time when I can. I’m releasing myself from writing as an obligation and allowing that writing is what IContinue reading “Poetry Series – Three Twenty”
Poetry Series – Silent Crying
Sometimes it feels like the whole world is crashing down around me. Normally, right now, I’d be running. Pack my car up, have someone help with my son a few extra days for the week, and run – put enough distance between myself and everyone that thinks they know me. My boyfriend doesn’t know it,Continue reading “Poetry Series – Silent Crying”
Poetry Series – Wonderful
The things we see, feed ourselves repetitively, slowly shape our core beliefs of ourselves and the world around us. This is the idea behind the nurture side of the nature vs nurture debate. We become what we are surrounded by. I think debates are so focused on figuring out who is right that they oftenContinue reading “Poetry Series – Wonderful”
Poetry Series – Kevin
Rewind to 15-year-old me, I would give you an entire speech about the replaceable nature of people. Present-day, I hold a lot of the same beliefs as that version just in a more mature form. I’d tell you now, give you a whole speech, about how important it is to let go of people. ApproachContinue reading “Poetry Series – Kevin”
Poetry Series – Excitement
I am definitely a little things kind of a person and while I don’t always mention it, or draw attention to it, I appreciate the details of life more than anything. I don’t think there is anything too small to become passionate about, appreciate the fuck out of, build excitement over. Sometimes when talking aboutContinue reading “Poetry Series – Excitement”
Poetry Series – Beacon
Hello, audience, be my platform. Can we have a conversation about how love and fear are at the root of everything? They are the thread weaving the world together and we are complicating it far the fuck more than we need to. Can I say that? Will anyone listen? I feel like screaming it andContinue reading “Poetry Series – Beacon”
Poetry Series – Scars
Sometimes I have doubts about my compatibility with people, ongoing. I’m continually returning to relationships, experiences, revisiting the question of, for me? I had the same best friend since high school and recently I wondered if we started going down different paths, I faced fear of loss something serious. When I fell in love, caughtContinue reading “Poetry Series – Scars”
Poetry Series – Laundry Dilemma
I find it nearly impossible, often, to admit to what I’m feeling or thinking. No matter how much of myself I put on display, I still circle back and find myself embarrassed by the parts that aren’t yet out. It’s almost as if this disturbingly difficult journey has been just a little bit too easyContinue reading “Poetry Series – Laundry Dilemma”
