Thinking about the past
There was a neighbor kid I played with for 4 years or so. He was a little bit older than me, maybe like 5-7 years older. I don’t really remember how old he was, just that he seemed way older than me. When I was really small, I thought he was fun. He knew a…

I have not kept the tradition of abuse and the silencing/dismissal of children as inhuman and incapable of reasonable thought. Looking back, I can see that this is the thread of my upbringing that I have needed to pull for years. This is something that has never disappeared and they both continue to treat me…

For me, yes. But only in that every day for me is untypical. No two days are ever the same so it’s always a bizarre variety or experiences and things that make little to no sense, but in the best way possible. I like my day like that, although I do try to have some…

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…

This is one of the more funny prompts I’ve seen. What I consider myself an authority on may not be ANYTHING that other people would consider me an authority on. I bet there are also a lot of people who are not self-aware enough to realize that they are not experts on anything who think…

Spirituality is important to me, but not in a way that everyone can relate to. I believe in a higher power, the universe, that guides us in a way that doesn’t always make sense. I believe that the Earth has a vibration to it that is part of the bigger universe and when you get…

Respect
I’ve been thinking a lot about respect lately. Like who deserves respect, who demands respect, what makes people respected or disrespected. Respect is earned. Respecting a position versus respecting a person. The more I’ve thought about respect, the more I realized that respect is something people throw around but never really consider what all they’re…

Solving the Puzzle
After that great college reunion where I found those lost pieces of who I used to be and still want to be, I spent some time being happy and feeling relieved because I found myself again. And then I told my therapist all about it. And because she’s great at her job and one of…

The day has finally arrived…
So it’s father’s day. The day that I really didn’t want to deal with. I haven’t heard from my father in forever. If I don’t say or do anything, that is an assumed act of aggression. If I don’t do a big to-do, that means I don’t care. And if I was to do a…
