Daily Prompt 7/23/24
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…

Daily Prompt 7/22/24
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…

Too Deep
I’ve been feeling really good lately. It’s taken me so much time to unravel everything that happened in my early years and how utterly awful my parents were to me as a child. It feels like it’s all finally come together and I feel better than I ever have. I think about parts of what…

Updates and More
I keep jumping on, writing a post, intending to get back at blogging daily but then I don’t. I can’t really figure out why this keeps happening. I started out the year strong, but got distracted for some unknown reason. Maybe it’s just that I got really busy with kid sports and life. Maybe I…

It’s Finally February
Finally, the year of January is over! On this fine first day of February, I’ve got a lot going on. I gave myself a little break from blogging for a few days because I met my goals for January and I was a little burned out yesterday from the gecko situation. I had only planned…

The Garden?
So we’ve been watching the Garden…cult or commune for the past two evenings. this show is nuts. If I could sum it up in one sentence, it would be hippies hosting preppers as potential living partners is this bizarre commune. This is bonkers and I don’t exactly understand the why. I don’t understand why this…
