• BYE FELICIA

  It’s been a week since I’ve written about “feeling normal” and holy shit has that been a rollercoaster of emotions. Last weekend, I spent majority of it in my old home while he and kiddo were gone. I wanted time with my cats, who are still there, and wanted to pack things my way, on…

• The End is really the Beginning

  We’re finally into the second half of the year, something I’ve been looking forward to since before the start of 2022 because all signs are pointing to it’ll be amazing and make up for the last few years of crap. I’m waiting for that “amazing” part to kick in because on Saturday July 2nd, my…

• Dependent on Codependency

  The terrible, awful, no good very bad daughter strikes again. Yesterday afternoon I was asked if Mom and her dog could stay with us for a day so they could “bomb” their apartment for fleas – fleas that apparently they’ve had for quite some time. I stupidly agreed, without even consulting D, and text him…

• Bipolar says what?

  Happy Mid-September! Nothing like some nice cool fall weather during a mental breakdown, am I right? Adjusting to home-life again has been anything but easy. Last weekend was the first weekend since being “home” that I actually spent at home, which was much needed after my slight psychotic break a few days prior. Not really…

• My Truth

  I need to get this all down in writing before I become the villain of this story, which is very likely. Here’s what I know, there are 3 sides to every story. My truth, their truth, and the truth-truth. Here is my version of events and predictions for what may come: 3 days ago, on…

• Here’s Your Slice of Humble Pie

  Dread. Trepidation. Nervousness. Unease. Apprehension. All words acceptable to describe my internal struggles as I drove home yesterday afternoon. I knew we’d have to deal with the elephant in the room, as well as the ex-girlfriend issue that hasn’t even come up yet. Time to put the big girl pants on and get our shit…

• You Jump, I Jump.

  Can two broken individuals come together and have a healthy relationship? Had you asked me almost 7 years ago, I would immediately say yes. Ask me today and I’ll tell you it’s a bit more complicated than that. As we get into serious relationships, things change. It’s inevitable. I’d like to think for the most…

• A Little Bit of Woo Woo and Magick

  I like all things weird. You want to talk about ghosts? Sweet, I live in a haunted house built in the 1800s and swear one of them is a ghost cat. You want a tarot reading? I got you! I’ve been practicing for ages and love how sassy in your face they can be. You…

• Navigating Neediness

  2020 has been a real shit show. Not just for myself, but for the entire world. It’s made me do a lot of self-reflection, especially during the times of planetary retrogrades, to see where I can personally improve, rather than blaming all of my hardships on someone else.  In the supernatural realm, this is called…
