Absence they say makes the heart grow fonder... as much as I LOVE writing, there are periods of time when it doesn't love me back. I fuss about it and try too hard to write and nothing. Then I relax and forget it and keep living and out of the blues, like an old friend …
The Thing About Pain..
My people. I have been away, I know. I literally haven't caught a breath in the last two months or so. Life has been moving at the speed of light and it's all I can do to catch up. From the first day I started this blog, I have left a piece of me in …
30 And Oh! So Thankful.
So yesterday, I turned 30. It was also the first birthday since I turned twenty five that I didn’t cry or feel unaccomplished. I did not have one cloud in my sky yesterday, I actually had a beautiful day! You know, I didn’t set out to. I honestly assumed that anxiety would kick in and …

On Broken Teeth and Broken Roofs..
So I mentioned a while ago that my tooth mysteriously broke right? Right. So this tooth broke and I was living in terrible pain for months. My nerves were exposed so I could neither eat nor drink nor chew nor even smile. I was in deep torment but I did not want to deal with …

Imagine.
Dear Diary, This has been on my mind for a while now. Why is it so hard to just be real these days? To actually say what we mean to say? When did we get to the point of suffering and smiling, of telling lies so easily instead of just calling it what it …
