You might not know this about me, but I've been blogging for a long time. It started as a teenager, when I got my first unsupervised accesses to the internet via high school computer classes and libraries. Oh yes, I had a Teen Open Diary (if anyone remembers those!) and have been through various platforms, blogging styles, … Continue reading To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
This is probably going to be one of the scariest posts I ever write. Something I have only shared with a handful of people in my every day life. Of course, there is a community of you who already know, many who may actually see this post. Truthfully, I'm not entirely sure what's compelling me … Continue reading A Poly of Confessions
In mid-December my work office got an upgrade - matching desk and bookshelf! No more mis-matched grey pieces for me ... no no. Bigger desk, more organized shelving, and a perfect space for some knickknacks. Obviously I brought a couple of Funko Pops! from home to keep me company, and I have this lovely photo … Continue reading It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This
I finally get to share some news I've been holding on to for months ... I'm pregnant! I've been wanting to write about this since I found out in September. There's so much I want to say, so trying to pick and choose the best or most important parts is hard. Firstly, perfectly planned but still … Continue reading The One With the Big Announcement

I was unprepared for what was coming at me - a very stressful summer at work, and some medical concerns that I could not answer. Navigating … Continue reading Ketchup? Catch Up.
Do you know what today is? IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! Growing up I was pretty modest about it being my birthday. I didn't tell a lot of people necessarily, I didn't make a big show about it with a "birthday girl" pin or something obvious. Social media makes it possible that people I'm connected with know … Continue reading The Birthday Show
In recovery, like everything else, a solitary event can change your path or course. Both good and bad, it is something you might only notice in hindsight. The last 6 weeks have been like that; as I read back to see what my last few entries were on, knowing how things have occurred, it's curious … Continue reading The Unplannable
Today is a very emotionally charged day for me. While I've attempted multiple times to write about some of these topics I can't seem to have the words flow like I'm used to. So here are some things in point-form to help me get started. Things I know to be true: - Almost six years … Continue reading Sit Back. Relax. Relapse.
This week I've been thinking a lot about shared space, and what it means to me. I've also been thinking that if maybe I just write about a new topic it will help move forward the other ones I've been trying to write for weeks now to no avail. Alas, writer's block is a terrible … Continue reading Shared Space
Self-care is such a great buzzword lately. It's meant to reflect listening to your body, listening to your mind, paying attention to the sensations around you and making sure you take care of yourself. It focuses on "negative" emotions and feelings and tries to get us back to a good place. It bases itself on … Continue reading A Weekend of Self Care
