Clutter, Grieving and Memories
What do I keep? Why do I keep it? What is the purpose, want or need. Where is the future need for it? Really, do I need it? Or maybe, do I need it, still? Honestly, I also think of the quote I recently read, posted on … regarding clutter Reality is: I can takeContinue reading “Clutter, Grieving and Memories”
Let’s talk about
Mommy Issues Yeah, those! I endured both developmental and relational trauma from birth until I put physical space between us. (It snowballed downhill fast after I cut off contact with my biological parents.) So, yeah, I have parent issues. The more you learn, the more you will, hopefully, will understand. My second peer, whom IContinue reading “Let’s talk about”
It’s Christmas Eve, 2021. I’m Reflecting
Reflecting on what? I do not know. Exactly. Or, specifically. Nor do I even know what my intent is in reflecting, at this moment at least.

That relentlessness can wear on a person. It did upon Wolf. As for me, it became so repetitive for me to repeatContinue reading “We struggle with … repetitiveness”
2021 arrived!
Not only has the year arrived, it seemed to slide in like an old quote I remember. “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally wornContinue reading “2021 arrived!”
December 25, 2020
Dear Diary, It is Christmas Day. We are in the truck with nowhere to go. Same as most days. Our abusers are in their houses living well. They have no concerns. They were not the ones who left and they believe they have done no wrong. We cannot go to a shelter because of myContinue reading “December 25, 2020”
