The position I find myself in is contrary to the person that I know to be me. I am repulsed, yet unable to move, held captive by invisible enemies. Each of my senses is assaulted by my very state of existence. I can do only three things with any success: think, cry, and sleep. It has been ...

A People-Pleaser No More.

Dear Society, My Body Freaking Rocks.

As much as my husband would like to plan out what I wear -- Princess Leia slave costume on the daily -- I do not let him decide what I wear or when I wear it. And society: you don’t get to decide either. No matter how much you try to guilt me otherwise...

I Lost You, My Friend, To The Fire Of Addiction.

You were the catalyst for a party or an excuse for a cocktail. When you walked into a room, the energy was electric, and no one but me saw your pain. I know you tried to prevent the wounds from bleeding and from being a huge mess, yet there wasn’t a Band-Aid big enough to stop the ...
