However, some posts will be password protected, since I am going completely public very soon with my personal identity. If you are interested in having the password, feel free … Continue reading
Disorder and Love: What We Do and Don’t Know
“Just because somebody doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with everything they got” –Author Unknown Mental health disorders have a way of putting blinders on a person.

A Promise and a Contract
I ended up telling him about the contents of A Sweater Worn Too Thin. (If you still need the password, please leave me a note and I’ll email it to you. Beware, it has some serious triggers in it.) It was at the very last moment of our night. I said to him, “Wait, before … Continue reading

Mania. For how long? At least over a month, by my count. I am adrift on the sea of uncertainty, swishing around with the currents and tides. The paddle for this rowboat for one was swallowed up with one big gulp awhile ago. Or perhaps, I cast it into the water during a blind fit … Continue reading
