3/21/2020 0 Comments COVID-19I am keeping a diary of sorts on a day to day basis to track the different things that are going on and how I am coping. I think it will be cool in years to come to be able to look back at the smaller details we may have forgotten. Keeping a journal is always a nice thing - just be careful about what secrets you release.

1/22/2019 0 Comments TrustThis is one of those words that provokes different feelings for different people. I know I have trust issues, do you? How do you not when it seems like everyone you have ever relied upon lets you down? You dad leaves, your mom leaves, your husband leaves, your wife leaves, your best friend leaves....... The people wonder why you seem cold. Maybe... because you don't want to be vulnerable again. Because the only person you can seem to count on is yourself, sometimes you can't even do that.
The world is a lonely place. The only thing we can do is to keep company the best we can with the people we "think" we can trust. It's the best you can do. And remember, always prepare for the worse, because it will come, it's just a matter of when. Sorry for being Debbie downer but it's reality from my perspective. Who do you trust and why? Who don't you trust and why? Help me understand another perspective. 1/18/2019 0 Comments ReflectionWe can reflect back on many things, memories or certain points in our lives. I am reflecting back on my personal life up until now. I have noticed that I seem to settle for things. I think because I have low self-esteem so getting close to what I want is good enough. Maybe it is because I don't think perfect exists so I settle. Regardless, I know I need to be careful to not lean too far one way or the other. There isn't perfect but I also shouldn't settle when something obviously makes me miserable. So reflection can be good to learn from as in this case. It is good to recall memories good, bad or otherwise. I am just glad I wasn't blind in my reflection. I appreciate my memories and hope to learn from my past.
1/17/2019 0 Comments Normal Day?I came across this prompt today and thought it was interesting. I took the response a little more seriously instead of being playful or off the rails. I guess mainly because my "normal" has changed recently and it was kind of abrupt so It's a very serious thing to me at the moment.
My Response: I think logically we think of normal as the average cultural thing. To get more detailed that normal could still vary greatly. My normal today is completely different than it was just a couple of months ago. Normal is doing our daily or weekly thing that, on average is pretty much the same. I'm almost there (having normalcy). I separated from my boyfriend of 10 years recently. I moved out of his house and back to an apartment with my 13 year old daughter. My new normal isn't so regular just yet but it will be soon. I'm OK with this new normal but I know it won't remain this way. It will change again, hopefully for the better. What do you think? What is normal to you? 3/16/2015 0 Comments Note on your Windshield.Writing Prompt: There’s a note that is left on your windshield. The note says, “you have taken something that belongs to me. I would like it back. Meet me tonight at O’Conner’s Pub for 7pm. Don’t worry about what I look like, I’ll find you.” The note takes you off guard and scares you at first. After thinking about it, you're now curious as to whom this is and what it was that you supposedly had taken, you decide to show up. It is a public place after all.
