It’s a slippery slope imagining what you “deserve” – but there’s a point in life where you do realize what you need and that should be completely congruent with what you actually do expect to get out of the ones you call “friend.“ A few of those things may include loyalty, consideration, kindness…if you’re luckyContinue reading “Peripheral Vision”

My Ambivert Life
am·bi·vert • noun • /ˈambəˌvərt/ The outgoing introvert. We can get tired from socializing too much. We can be super flexible and are used to things changing.

Bacon & Eggs
Think about your breakfast one morning when you have some time to ruminate what it actually took to get all that to your plate. The chicken’s involved, but the pig’s committed. One day you’ll have a decision to make in your life where you have to choose what you are. Probably more than one ifContinue reading “Bacon & Eggs”

What do you give up to be loved?
Being a codependent is real. It’s crippling and something to not get confused with being a good parent, lover, or friend. If you give up little pieces of yourself and redirect a well thought out plan for your life for companionship, you’ve chosen the wrong company. We are meant to love, but we are notContinue reading “What do you give up to be loved?”
Walking Blind
If you’ve lived in a house long enough, you become able to walk from one side to the other, navigating around all the furniture in between with your eyes closed as if you were blind. I’ve always thought that was pretty neat. Until you wake up, start sleepily walking across the floor, and almost slipContinue reading “Walking Blind”
Little Bird Brain
Something my grandmother always said was that our “little bird brains” aren’t supposed to understand everything. Why do bad things happen? Why do the ones we love get sick?
