Hello, Again

Hello, again, To all the things– writing, the internet, and you, whoever you are reading this. After a long day of life today we got home around 9:15pm and my husband went upstairs to workout in our home gym (which I had to mention because it is a room in our home we are quite…

An Ode to My Marriage

I always wanted to mean something to the world
And even though people told me I did, it wasn’t enough.

Then I met you.
You became my world and I meant something to you.

It’s hard to hold yourself back sometimes from trying to control the ones you love when you think you know what’s best for them.

Losing My Religion

If I lose my religion,
will I lose my God?
They say it’s a relationship
but I’m scared there’s a truth I forgot…

Two Face

If you aren’t honest with yourself, how can you expect to be honest with others? For years you’ve looked in the mirror while wearing glasses with a certain prescription called “selective sight.” And you looked at who you wanted to be, a “slightly” more ideal version of who you actually are, and that’s who you decided…

How Can I Miss Heaven?

Will We Love Me?

Will you still love me with my surgery scars? Knowing I’ve been torn open and pulled apart? Will you still love me when the roof caves in? Once you find out where I dream of going and, worse, where I’ve been? Will you still love me when I’m not nice? When I have bad…

Humanity’s Trigger Words

I think I’ve found two phrases that trigger pain in everyone– “Too much,” and “Not enough.” I’m scared of being too much for you but also not enough. And scared that I find life too fascinating but what if I’m not fascinated by it enough? What if I love you too deeply? But what if…

We Built a Shelter: My Story

The following is an introduction to a short story I wrote about processing the last few years of my life to help make sense of where I am now. If you’d like to skip straight to the story, start below the horizontal line. Enjoy! I tried my best to be as realistic as possible about…

My Bed Against the Wall

I’ve always been really sensitive to the way places are designed and how they make me feel. It was only natural then that this last time I moved I began looking into feng shui. “Maybe there’s something to it,” I thought, with little knowledge of what feng shui is, other than the fact that it’s…
