I am FULL of unpopular opinions that I am just awaiting an eager ear to whisper into. Shouting into the void has lost its appeal. I’m so tired of hearing my echo call out after me that there have been days where I question if it’s my own voice that keeps people from hearing me.Continue reading “Poetry Series – Disconnection: Mental Health Edition”

Poetry Series – Suppressed
In the odd hours of the morning, amongst the silence – even the weirdest of truths must surface. So you stay awake. Buy time like it will be the next currency to sweep the market. Listen. Wait. It will inevitably hit… probably right around the time you’ve given up and are trying to find sleepContinue reading “Poetry Series – Suppressed”
Poetry Series – Psychosis
I haven’t been writing and I’ll say it’s because I didn’t have time but feel free to call my bullshit and acknowledge my unwillingness to prioritize the things that are important for me, even amidst that chaos. Here’s to hoping it’s time for a strong return. Here’s to always finding your way back to yourself,Continue reading “Poetry Series – Psychosis”

My son told me he has the same fear – of getting attached, because what if I leave? I’veContinue reading “Poetry Series – Losing My Mind”
Poetry Series – Spiritual Encounters
I don’t surround myself with enough people that speak of spiritual experiences and sometimes it means I feel incredibly alone. When I have dreams that scare me and deter me from speaking about mine, I secretly believe it’s the evil in the world attacking me while I sleep. I genuinely believe in the war betweenContinue reading “Poetry Series – Spiritual Encounters”
Perspective on Mental Illness
I came across this today during my mindless scrolling on Facebook and perhaps this is an attempt to give meaning to my scrolling, justify it, or perhaps someone somewhere needs this. I did, once. Another perspective to consider: Everyone is fighting their own battles. People may not mean* to make ‘mentally ill’ people feel badContinue reading “Perspective on Mental Illness”
