Do you think that if a person hears the phrase “we don’t always get what we want” enough times in their life, they start believing their wants are irrelevant in the way the world works? I’m considering the possibility that that exact scenario is what contributes to why when someone turns to me and asksContinue reading “Want”

Poetry Series – Manic
I think life is more about learning how to work with yourself than how to work yourself to be with. I’ve been asked before if my extremely good moods might possibly be mania or at least hypomania. My impulsivity notch gets stuck on high, my need for excitement growing, the incredible things I think I’mContinue reading “Poetry Series – Manic”
The Way It Looked To Me – Part One
One of my favorite things is hearing someone describe the way they experienced something. There are times where my attention fixes on something, my focus narrows in, the rest of the world seems to disappear and it’s like an explosion of feeling, appreciation, gratitude. To me, these moments feel like little bursts of magic inContinue reading “The Way It Looked To Me – Part One”
This Moment
Have you ever been stuck in traffic and wished you could just teleport to work? How about stuck in line at the grocery store with 3 more stops to make after this and a deadline for getting dinner on the table before you have to take the kids to soccer? When everyone lives such aContinue reading “This Moment”
“Best Self”
Sometimes it’s the smallest words that carry the most weight – love, hate, no, yes, bye.. best. They’re heavy, tiny, and packed with a punch. Sometimes they come with expectations, opportunities, guidelines, or disappointment, and more often than not that’s a weight we’ve given to the words ourselves rather than the intended weight of theContinue reading ““Best Self””
Poetry Series – Attack
There are times where thoughts are far more feeling than they could possibly be words. Waves of emotion so intense that they can’t possibly adhere to typical structures of sentences and paragraphs but they still need to be said rather than shown. Poetry shows us that we don’t always have to play by the rules,Continue reading “Poetry Series – Attack”
Eyes Black, Heart Attack
The second time I admitted myself into the hospital, part of what drove me there was not understanding the strange things I was starting to experience. I thought, certainly, that I must be going crazy. I still don’t always understand what I’m seeing, hearing, feeling – but it’s gotten a bit easier to allow myselfContinue reading “Eyes Black, Heart Attack”
Excitement, Energy and What are we doing with it?
There’s so many questions I could ask to start this one off so let’s get them all out there and in your head. What do you find yourself the most excited when you are doing? What do you do to get yourself excited about a new day? What is excitement even and what can weContinue reading “Excitement, Energy and What are we doing with it?”
Movie Moments
I remember watching the movie “Keith“, and as Keith refers to the “goodbye scene” all I could think was HAH! See, it’s not just me! Other people see it too! Our lives are comprised of a series of movie moments! Do you know what I’m referring to? It’s those major, impactful moments in your lifeContinue reading “Movie Moments”
Isaac – A Necessary Introduction
“It’s not that I’m obsessed with him or anything. It’s just that, well maybe I used to be.” I know, you’ve come to hear my story and I’m over here getting ready to ramble on about some boy. Is that all this is? Another tale of a delusional girl that’s just a little bit tooContinue reading “Isaac – A Necessary Introduction”
