You Are Not Alone Circle
Quiet Thanksgiving- perfect.
I chose to stay home, alone, today. Sometimes the anxiety just gets the best of me and the thought of peopling is just too much. Today was one of those days. My boss made me an awesome offer to go to her moms. I wanted to. Then I remembered how big her family is and…
Girlfriend
I know she loves me, but I'm scared my girlfriend doesn't love me as much as I love her. I'm so damaged and dependent on her and she's usually so kind but I know it's a lot to deal with and I think my neediness is pushing her away. I want to fix it so…
Preparing for Escalation
The cold hard truth is life will never be the same. I’ll never again be that girl from 15 years ago before I met him. She’s gone. People say they want to find the old them. It’s impossible. Instead all I can do is find the new me. I get to sign the papers on…
Better off alone
*sigh* After an amazing vacation I’m back to reality and I must say reality is the least fun place to be half the time. Captain Douche is an idiot. I have no doubts someone is still feeding him information on my life. As our flights about to leave he texts me for the first time…
“Her”
As I sit here writing this, the sense of vulnerability I feel is disregarded because at the same time there is a peace in opening up about my heartache. When I speak about “her”, I speak because there have been many sleepless nights where I have tossed and turned, staring at my ceiling in the&hel...

this could be triggering for some. #trauma
he ran for the kite as the wind carefully carried it towards the busy highway. despite my screams he wouldn't stop running. in a panic i sprint back to the house. out of breath and terrified i could only spit out his name and a few key points, "bryson..bryson.. my kite... highway.." i gasp for&he...
Never. Absolutely never.
Never. Just never. A couple weeks ago my therapist asked what it would look like if I wanted to make peace with my mom and work on building that relationship. I thought about. Silence. Nothing. It would look like nothing. I’m not doing it today, tomorrow or currently ever. No thanks. She interjec...
Still No Divorce Signatures
It’s October 25th. Just another day. Right? Today should be a fabulous day but it won’t be. Captain D had proclaimed 6 weeks ago he needed to be divorced by today. You know, his Vegas trip to get hookers. Can’t be unfaithful 🙄 I asked my attorney last week if I could sign yet. No,…
Single now… and forever?
Dear no one, I’ve always believed that what makes my life meaningful are the people that are in it, and that the purpose of life is to love and be loved. On my 21st birthday I learned that I would never have a deep and abiding romantic love. That a partner with whom I could…
