    Holy shit. I haven’t written anything since the end of June. I’m falling way behind on my New Year’s resolution of averaging 3 posts a month. I got some catching up to do. I thought tonight might be a good time to get back into the groove of blogging. My mind has been wired the

    Ask for Help

    This time of year brings up A LOT of feelings for people. Situations we avoided for the first eleven months of the year thrust themselves to the forefront. Every relative you don’t want to see you now feel obligated to visit. Those losses you experienced (usually a passing or separation) rear their ugly heads with

  • A Year Older…A Year Wiser?

    How do I spend my 34th trip around the sun? Sitting in a Starbucks writing for my blog, of course. As an adult, I’ve never put a ton of emphasis on my birthday. Some people celebrate “birth month,” but I keep it low key. It is just another day for yours truly. However, with many

    Slacking

    Yeah, I know. It’s been a while. Or sporadic at best. And to think, at one time, I disdained writing. I abhorred the thought of putting my fingers to a keyboard. That was way back when teachers and professors dictated the topic. Since its inception in 2017, this blog turned into a pillar of my

    It’s Been A While

    *Cue Staind* It has been nearly three months since the last time I posted on my blog. I apologize to those of you who missed my weekly posts, but I promise – I’m still here. I was just doing A LOT. I worked a full-time job, a part-time job, and hit the ground running on

    The Silver Lining of COVID-19

    I walked in the door to an unfamiliar sight in recent memory. My landlord/friend was parked at his desk wrapped up in a sweatshirt and blanket. He just got home from a seven-week business trip in Nevada. However, he did not look good. *cough cough* “I got Covid.” First words out of his mouth. Fuck.

  • I Can’t Even.

    I Can’t Even.

    Fridays are for fun! My idea of fun this last Friday was driving an hour to meet with my accountant and do my taxes at 8:30 in the morning. Friday? More like Fri-yay! Am I right? Since I decided to avoid the tolls, my GPS took me on the scenic route. It added maybe five

  • Battle of the Subconscious

    Battle of the Subconscious

    Growing up, I was obsessed with cartoons. I watched Rugrats and Spongebob before jumping on the schoolbus. I got home from school around 3 o’clock every day, which was just in time to plop down in my favorite chair to catch the latest episode of Pokemon. At night, it was whatever I could catch on

  • Dear Dad

    Dear Dad

    It’s been two weeks, and I still cannot believe that it happened. Something felt off when I tried calling you for two days straight with no answer. In a last ditch effort to reach you, I called your wife after one of my sessions. What I did not expect to hear was a frantic cry
