  TRIGGER WARNING! Let us take a break about talking about Francisco, and take a trip down Mental health lane. In 2015, I moved out of my parents house and into my own space. I was starting college and working at the same time. October came around and I met this guy who changed my life.…

“What qualities make a person attractive to you?”   I know that I am married and everything (btw, long time no see lol...sorry it’s been a while since my last post). But, I thought it would be fun to make a list of all the qualities I find attractive in a person.  So, here we…

I'm a runner. It's what I have always done. I'm trying to break the habit, and have made considerable baby steps, but it still remains my first instinct when faced with conflict. It's got to be stopped. If I was a meme, it'd be a photo of me, with captions above it that read: "If…

So, yeah. This week has been a rollercoaster. I really want to just... write out how my Tuesday happened, but I think it's important that I set it up with Monday as well. Monday: As I wrote about a few hours ago, I had a "date" with my separated wife at a bar close to…
