In the midst of every day [or night] conversations, my tangents happen regularly and randomly. More often than not, I don’t realize I’ve even been on a soap box, until after I’ve stepped down from it and had it pointed out to me. Last night was no exception to that rule.
I was discussing with Freya, how people often say one thing but do another. I’m not even positive how the rant got started exactly, all I know is that it ended up being “Words versus action” and she suggested that I put it... Read Full Story

As time will surely show, I am a big supporter of taking chances and making self changes. I have other passions, I assure you, but my current personal struggles revolve around where my life is headed and what I can do about it.
I’ve been down this road before; the difference this time is that I’m pushing through it. And I want you to push through it too.
I remember when I finally asked Willow if I could earn an author spot on this site. I was blown away when she told me that there was one... Read Full Story

I’m well aware the title is extremely broad spectrum, but for this post, this one right here, it’s extremely fitting. More than accurate. I’ve seen birth, and I’ve seen death – meaning that I have been in the room when someone took their first actual breath in this world, and watched as the last breath left the other. Both are moving, both will impact you more than you could ever imagine. I’ve seen people waste 70 years of life before they reach the end of their years, and I’ve had the... Read Full Story

I find myself staring down two paths, and leaning on one of my previous posts to make a decision. How can I suggest to you, dear reader, to take chances and to choose the road that sounds scary, when I’m sitting in a hotel room getting ready to tuck in for the night? Unacceptable. Practice what you preach, or shut your mouth.
I am sitting in this hotel room for the simple reason that I am on vacation. Though my vacation-mates haven’t quite made it here yet, I decided that I was going to... Read Full Story

In my recent past, I found myself in an argument that has left me thinking about equality and what it means to people. There is no concrete answer to this, especially since people seem to only strive for equality when it suits their needs. And let’s be honest, if that’s all they’re looking for, then it’s not really equality.
Midway through a debate between a mentally challenged gentleman and myself, his mother came up to me and demanded that I stop speaking to her son “that way”. I could... Read Full Story

I have been sitting here gazing at an empty box for what seems an eternity. If I knew better, I’d say part of me drifted off while trying to gather my thoughts. I packed them in neat little bundles this time and arranged them by color and season. After putting all but my summer thoughts away, it feels a bit empty in here. Neat little rows of thoughts, I really went to a lot of trouble for you today. Neat little rows in straight lines with a small path in the middle. That’s how I get around... Read Full Story

There is a movie about a college project that explores the basis of people’s fears, the heart of their dread , if you will. Though the movie focuses on a person’s worst fear, I want to come back up to the surface a bit, up to the shallow end of the fear pool.
From day to day, we face our own little fears. Whether it’s as simple as getting into the car in the morning because we remember that terrible accident we were in, or not getting up and making that awesome proposal that we’ve been... Read Full Story

Opportunistic -OR- Altruistic?
Those are your choices in life.
Apparently there is no middle ground, for which to base your character, and I have to confess that this reality disheartens me. What it basically boils down to, is Yourself -Or- Others?
For me, it has always been an easy question to answer. If you ask me, I will, without falter, reply “Others”, it is as simple as that. I don’t bat an eyelash.
I cannot say that I have never chosen ‘Self’ but it’s a highly rare occurrence.

From our youngest days, the world is expecting us to be something, to do something with our lives. It’s overwhelming, really. All the pressure laid upon us by other people is exhausting.
And what do we do with those expectations? We start by letting our parents down. We let our friends down. We let ourselves down. It’s depressing, really.
Luckily, each of those moments is a learning experience. Do we get up, brush off our skinned knees, and face the world differently? Or do we just sit in... Read Full Story

I’ve had quite the sabbatical, with a few bursts of ‘come back’ peeking through here and there, but nothing definite. It has taken me a long time to rise up from my knees, dust myself off and face the world full force once again.
Nothing worth having, nor worth doing ever comes to one easily, and I’m normally the first to tell you that.
Somewhere amid all of my soapboxes, my fighting, my best intentioned words and battles, I lost sight and became disheartened. So discouraged that even I... Read Full Story
