Life… Is returning to normal. It might be slowly, but it definitely is surely. And as survivors of the 2020 pandemic (doesn’t that sound dramatic), we can definitely say that we made it through all of the 5 stages of grief at one point or another: The grief over the loss of life as weContinue reading “A jab of truth”

Juicy buns
I’ve had a couple of workdays in the office this month. HIGHLY EXCEPTIONAL. And thus…sorta special. I dress up for the office. I do. When I go into work it’s pencil skirts and curvy dresses. High heels and blazers. You dress for the job you want, not the job you have. And I wanna beContinue reading “Juicy buns”
Luxury Problems
There’s a couple of things that I can’t ever live without anymore as a First Worlder, regardless of how insane that might sound to people who have it worse. When I say can’t I obviously mean ‘I really really really don’t want to‘ even though it definitely wouldn’t actually kill me, but you catch myContinue reading “Luxury Problems”

So I wasn’t ever good enough?Said I didn’t amount to much Told me I wasn’t all that specialWaitWhat wasContinue reading “What was your name again?”
Quitting to win.
When I was younger I played a lot of tennis. A lot a lot of tennis. And I loved it, until I didn’t. But that’s not really the point of that first line. Because I was looking back at my shiny tennis career (just kidding, I wasn’t really that great) today. Mostly because I wasContinue reading “Quitting to win.”
Empty.

Because when you truly see meand discover what lies beyond this faceI’m afraid I’ll find my darkest spacethrough knowing eyeswho’ve seen the wholeof a truth I can’t be facing. Yet it’sContinue reading “Empty.”
Sucker for an audience.
I love watching and commenting on things. Snippy, witty (or snide) remarks followed by random factoids or weird additions. Silly observations or judgments clad in (dark) humor and wrapped in ‘oh but I’m a girl so that obviously wasn’t meant TOO mean‘. Whether it’s a sportsgame or people passing by while perched on a safeContinue reading “Sucker for an audience.”
Decidably Soupy
Anyone that knows me a little knows this about me: I love soup. Sure. Anything fried, greasy or otherwise bad-for-my-health ALSO makes me do a little happy dance. But on the whole, if I had to pick one type of meal to eat for the rest of my life…it would be soup. Soup rocks. IContinue reading “Decidably Soupy”
Crazy cat lady gene: activated
Oh boy. I’m in trouble. These past three months have been a rollercoaster ride. And I’ll honestly tell you that I may or may not have had about 15 ‘I’m gonna die alone’ moments that may or may not have been fueled by drinking, or tears, or both. After several of these binges I wouldContinue reading “Crazy cat lady gene: activated”
And then I tell myself…
One from the archives – just to end the week with a flair of drama: And then I tell myself. They tell me to be strong.They tell me to heal.And then I tell myself….Maybe I was happier being unhappy with you. They tell me I’m being strong.They tell me I’m healing.And then I tell myself…HowContinue reading “And then I tell myself…”
