July 4th 2000 My heart sings in the honda that plays all my strings. A thousand words flow from my emptiness as the tunes she plays for me, engulfs the clothes and fast food. "I miss my love, like the deserts miss the rain; and I miss you" Everything But The Girl So tired of… Continue reading you make me poetic

If Wishes Were Fishes
After I graduated from high school my parents sent me on a trip to Australia. I am sure that sounds wonderful and the trip and memories I made during my time there was, honestly it was more than that, it was magical. Still, it was a trip that should have been epic in other ways;… Continue reading If Wishes Were Fishes
“You Ain’t Got No Future Jack”
Despite all the remakes and don't get me wrong I respect them, Heath Ledger & Joaquin Phoenix...I am still haunted by both films, renditions of The Joker, mostly the most recent, did any of that movie even happen!? "You ain't got no future Jack" - Eckhardt. I believe he is an inspector or detective, but… Continue reading “You Ain’t Got No Future Jack”
Physical Trauma vs. Emotional Trauma

There were never such devoted sisters”
Heart of Hearts – COVID Style

(left eye), hypothyroidism....I am… Continue reading Heart of Hearts – COVID Style
M.A.D.
It’s so hard to be sweet, to be quiet, to be vulnerable and demur. So much of me wants to fight; I don’t want to stay ‘stand up’ because I am not abused, generally unheard, I really do not go without (unless you consider the days I am on my 'diet' and I do not… Continue reading M.A.D.
Superwoman
Laying in my old bunk bed in the dark, the slightest of light coming from my cracked bedroom door. I had finally fallen off the bars, I guess you could call them monkey bars but they were always more serious to me; after so much practice I had fallen hard. I don’t remember anything after… Continue reading Superwoman
in momenti di grande tensione
“In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers.”― Fred Rogers, The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember I do not speak Italian, let me just be… Continue reading in momenti di grande tensione
