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”

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 – Mr.RedLight
I was in the passenger’s seat of the car, acknowledging to my boyfriend that I had made a pen pal with an inmate in the past and he asked me if I had fallen in love with the dude. I said no, and for the question he was asking it was absolutely true, I fellContinue reading “Poetry Series – Mr.RedLight”
Poetry Series – Ready
I’ve spent my whole life scared and I wouldn’t be surprised if that trend continues. The difference between my current fear and my past fear is that I’ve learned how, presently, to keep it from stopping me more often than not.

Poetry Series – Laundry Dilemma
I find it nearly impossible, often, to admit to what I’m feeling or thinking.

Poetry Series – Looking Back
The power of shifting to letting go of what others think of you is that your peace is no longer dependent on them accepting your explanation of yourself. Sure, I got commended on my levels of self-awareness and yes, that skill absolutely comes in handy now. The thing is, I didn’t always need to letContinue reading “Poetry Series – Looking Back”
Poetry Series – Don’t Tell
A child should never have to carry the burden of secrets. The words “don’t tell” from an adult to a child indicate an issue, short of a surprise party but in that case, you should know better than to tell them anyways. Even as an adult, especially a young one, the words don’t tell fromContinue reading “Poetry Series – Don’t Tell”
