Inner Strength
I’m here. I’m surviving. And in some ways I feel myself thriving. The key for me is digestible small chunks of information. No doom scrolling, no freaking myself out with hours of reading the news on various platforms and social media accounts. The key for me is to preveng panic because that’s what takes away…

Healing
The blockage is still there inside me. I am not sure why or what it relates to, but I am starting to feel that there is a trauma that is unacknowledged, unspoken, and definitely in my way. It’s taking away everything I enjoy like writing, and even the optional lacrosse practices that I committed to…

Daily Prompt 1/5/24
Of all the stupid questions that the daily prompt has suggested, this one is the absolute worst. Um, I COULD do everything differently. Anything at all. I would not word this question this way. What WOULD I do differently, what do I want to do differently, in what ways could I improve my life. But…

Daily Prompt 11/20/23
I would meet George Washington. I have so many questions for him. How did you handle all the conflicting opinions and how hard was it for you to go against the British? Did you have any moral concerns about not respecting authority or did you feel it was justified because of taxes? I would ask…

Daily Prompt 9/7/23
The personality trait that I think is the most telling about who people are would be whether or not people can laugh at themselves. That’s a huge red flag for me for a bunch of reasons: No one needs to share the most mortifying thing that ever happened to them with complete strangers. But nearly…
