Have you ever given yourself a panic attack? Yeah, I did that tonight. I sometimes want to take on the world. It is utterly exhausting the things I want to be good at. Exhausting. I started typing every day weeks ago because I want to be a good writer and eventually write a book. And… Continue reading Overwhelmed

Bubbles Bring Me Peace
Walking through life with rejection as a filter is rough,No return text, cancel of plans, not invited, sideways glance,Second questioning what I've done or said, Not being enough,Then I remember the bubbles...A wonderful lady once told me that everyone is in their own bubbles,On their own journeys,Sometimes your bubble and their bubble collide,But all bubbles… Continue reading Bubbles Bring Me Peace
Seeking a Feeling
The great adventure,I can see it when I look beyond my window,Cloudy skies over new horizons,Crowded dark lit rooms filled with interesting people,When I think of these scenes I realize I've already experienced them before,That is when it occurs, that it isn't a place I am seeking but a feeling,Perhaps that is all we ever… Continue reading Seeking a Feeling
First Impression of SMART Recovery
Tonight I attended my very first SMART recovery meeting. SMART stands for self-management and recovery training. It was an online meeting. I've been wanting to attend one ever since my Therapist recommended it to me over two years ago. I actually attempted to get certified in it once but quit halfway through. I also wanted… Continue reading First Impression of SMART Recovery

Today’s Tasks
I offically missed my first day of writing yesterday for the first time in I think over a week. I had a nice trend going. I honestly couldn't think of anything to say and again the idea of trying to be creative and come up with some kind of story I just wasn't feeling. Today… Continue reading Today’s Tasks
Human Emotions
Emotions are interesting. To be going along and all of the sudden a pang of pain from nowhere right in the center of your chest. Because we rarely talk about these experiences it makes me wonder how often this happens to other people. For me, I'd say it happens at least 4 to 5 times… Continue reading Human Emotions
Love of Reading
I've not been feeling very creative lately hence I've not attempted any word of the day or short story writing exercises. Just some general journals, so that I am still meeting my commitment to daily writing. It gets overwhelming when I am in school. The idea of doing anything creative is exhausting. So let's just… Continue reading Love of Reading
Words Are Magic
The best thing about writing is you can build anything with words. They are yours and like boards put together for sale, others can choose to procure or ignore the retail. When you write, you can be outlandish and egotistic. Or factual and realistic. You can be sappy and romantic, professing love that will never… Continue reading Words Are Magic
