It came today
Since I became an adult, I have had the original copy of my birth certificate that my parents received after I was born. The copy they used to register me for school, for extracurricular activities, again for middle school when we moved, and then in high school when we moved again. I used it to […]

Anxiety, Dread, and…a car in the driveway?
today sucks. There, I said it. Today simply sucks. In December of 2021, I scheduled an appointment for this day. A regular appointment. The one that I hate with every fiber of my being because it’s all about the physical parts of me that I don’t want to acknowledge. The parts that make my life […]

January Updates
I have not been back to posting regularly since the new year started. I have been feeling a block, actually. A dread almost, every time I think about what I want to write next. I have started two drafts and not finished them. When I do open up my computer, I avoid the WordPress tab […]

Tomorrow is THE DAY!
Awhile back I wrote about how my wife and I finally confessed our feelings for each other after watching Hamilton in July of 2020 and how we were going to see Hamilton in person FINALLY! Tomorrow is that day and I cannot wait. We decided to spend the night in the area since the kids […]

Post Holiday Stuff
As a kid, I always felt really sad after Christmas. I don’t really know why, even to this day. It was this feeling of letdown, I guess. We saw our extended family a lot, there were presents and good food and so much fun. And then we were just at home. My dad was a […]

Daily Prompt 12/26
Who are the biggest influences in your life? This is a tough question for me now. I have been on a journey these last two years that has changed my perspective on my past. As I’ve healed, I see my life in such a different way and who has shaped who I am now. I […]

Daily Prompt 12/24
Are you a good judge of character? Yes and no. Yes when I am in a good place and I feel comfortable in who I am and what I am doing. No when I am desperate and don’t want to be alone, or I think I need some form of validation. When I first started […]
