I have a friend going through a really rough time trying to pull herself from an abusive relationship. She is telling her own story her own way on her blog. Telling the story is a hard thing to do, and I am so proud of her. It has me thinking about a lot of things …

Or: Dragons and Zombies and Shit I feel the creativity come back. When I’m depressed it goes away and leaves a dramatic void. I never quite understood what that void was until this time. I knew I couldn’t write but for some reason it never dawned on me it was because my creativity was gone. …

So, apparently, from the reactions of people who love me and care about me, I seem very not okay. Truth is, I had a rough week. I’ve had to be up early almost every morning this week and then to bed early. Things are more stressful than normal in the house and insane hormones and …

So, I freaked all the way out Tuesday, and now I’m coming back together. It happens. So it’s the Fourth of July and I should write something profound and historical sounding. Instead, I’m going to show you this: Then I’m going to tell you random stories: I sneezed earlier and hurt myself. That, my friends, …

Well, not necessarily pairs, but in groups… Last week, I kind of stopped writing… everything. Last week was one of those weeks that it took everything I had to keep breathing. This has been a stressful year. It just has been. I know everything will be okay. I know I can handle it. Sometimes it …

Seriously, I got nothing. Life is the same crazy ball of stress, worry, and awesome it has been for a month now. Things are looking better. My writing is kicking ass. My family is still stressing me out. I’ve decided to treat my stress and anxiety with beer. Mmm beer. I flipped and and cried …
