Why can’t animals live longer?
January 14 is always a hard day for me. On January 14, 2018, I had to let my best friend, my soul dog Tango cross the rainbow bridge. He was an 11 year old corgi and I had had him since me and my mom rescued him from a shelter…

7 Years
They say your body completely regenerates every 7 years. With the exceptions of some major organs, you are a brand new human being every 7 years. Every year on July 20, I get a tattoo on the anniversary of my rape. I know some think that’s stupid- why remind yourself?…

Cutting out the toxic
Linkin Park said it best in “Burning in the Skies” “Oh, I’m swimming in the smokeOf bridges I have burnedSo don’t apologizeI’m losing what I don’t deserve” I think one of the hardest things for me was realizing that you CAN cut toxic people, friends, jobs, even family out of…

Just spilling my guts
It’s ironic really- that I have such a hard time admitting I need therapy. Psychotherapy is actually what I want to go to school for. Maybe that’s why I have such a hard time with it, I don’t know. What I do know is that I have never been able…
