I need to take a hit; just a quick fix; it’s been so long since- the last time I slit, my skin. You know what I mean; we all have a crutch to lean; takes the edge off things; a little relief it seems: no spin. I’m spiraling right now; losing control somehow; wanna let … Continue reading My Skin
Cracks
“We are broken children living in adult size, made from broken pieces, cracks scattering the light…” A line from a poem written long ago. Still fresh as the day I wrote it. I can choose to look at life from a broken point of view, or I can put my pieces back together and see … Continue reading Cracks
Deaf and Blind
I was reading in Isaiah and was struck with how plain the words were… And yet, I worry that I am that which was foretold. Who is deaf? One who cannot hear… But if the ears are never opened, how can one hear HIM? It is impossible. You see, in another place, it is written … Continue reading Deaf and Blind
Less is More…
Do you ever get obsessed with a thought or idea? What started out as a passing glimpse becomes a full on panorama. The thought grows. We feed it. What wasn’t an issue two minutes ago is now about to blow up… All because we feed the idea. Minimalism is a way of life for many … Continue reading Less is More…
Silence
I look around and see so much I have to be thankful for… My personal life has been full lately, mostly good things, things that should make me overjoyed. But I just want to sit in silence and cry. This past Mother’s Day was the first in years that I didn’t spend crying the entire … Continue reading Silence
Opportunity
To quote Jo Dee Messina, “My give a damn’s busted.” I think a lot of people feel that way. It shows in their job performance. I’ve recently read and even talked to some Gen Zers, and I understand their stance. They want to do something they are proud of, they enjoy and are appreciated for … Continue reading Opportunity
Vanity and Vexation
I sometimes wonder about what life will be like after I’m gone. It’s vain to think some thoughts I have, but I have them…so…? Like I’ve wanted to tell some people who’ve gone on what has happened since they’ve left. But I can’t. And I want to know certain things that might happen when I’m … Continue reading Vanity and Vexation
Questions
Do you ever just get in a mood where you’re irritated or disgusted with someone so you don’t open their messages? Even group chats that they’re in? Even when you need to respond to someone else in the chat? And every time someone else messages and their name pops up you get that feeling anew? … Continue reading Questions
Small Stuff
Sometimes the walls start caving in and there's nothing we can do except curl up and wait... We wait for the walls to move, for us to be able to breathe again, for our lungs to fill, our eyes to dry and our voice to return. Sometimes it really is just a grain of sand… … Continue reading Small Stuff
Just a Thought
I think we, people in general, like to complain. I think we are prone to argue and reassign blame. We want the desserts without the consequences. And we are hardwired to see the bad. And you know, GOD cursed the ground to not yield to the plow. HE made the earth fight man every step … Continue reading Just a Thought
