Today, I decided that I was going to clean my room (or start the process of...there's a lot to be done, both in my room and around the house...thank you roommate for the house part). As I was rummaging around the bookshelves, picking up clutter. Tossing things out here and there that had collected on … Continue reading I Still Feel It Sometimes…
Self-Reflection
Love is…
*Begins sappy writing* "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always … Continue reading Love is…
NOH8
I don't know who you are, and you don't know me. However, we have a mutual Facebook friend, and that's how I came across and was able to read the words you don't even realize have torn me down. You claim that you have never used hate, bigotry, or harassment to promote your beliefs, but … Continue reading NOH8
If I Can Marry One, Why Not 3?!
To the argument posed in the subject line, which happens to come from a best friend's sister, I say, why not? Don't get me wrong. Polygamy is not for me, and I think in most circumstances, it's not for most people. I'll explain why in just a short little while. First, I want to talk … Continue reading If I Can Marry One, Why Not 3?!
Rediscovering Myself as a Writer…Hopefully
Writing has always been a passion of mine. From the time I could pick up a pencil and find a piece of paper, I was writing. Before we had a computer in our house, I used to go over to grandma's house and spend hours typing my stories into Microsoft Works. I still have those … Continue reading Rediscovering Myself as a Writer…Hopefully
Reflections from the Past and Dreams for the Future
Reflections from the Past and Dreams for the Future Tonight I was rummaging through some of my past writings, both way back when and in the more recent past, when I came across a writing from when I first began the coming out process to my friends and co-workers. Mostly, it was about Nick and … Continue reading Reflections from the Past and Dreams for the Future
Fragmented Pieces
Everything has shattered, but I didn’t notice the falling fragments of what used to be my happiness until each individual piece came at me fast and hard. Individually, the fragments are minor and unimportant. Little things that would normally not bother me; they’re things that could easily be brushed off. When put together, however, they … Continue reading Fragmented Pieces
December Writing Challenge: Day 13
Day 13: What are three things you are better at than most people? And the difficult writing prompts just keep on coming. I really had to sit and think about this one for a while before I started writing, because I don't consider myself better at anything than anyone else. Though, after sitting through this … Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 13

December Writing Challenge: Day 11
Day 11: How are you like your mother? And if you are a mother, how is/are your kid(s) like you? Well, I guess I get to skip half of this writing prompt, seeing as how I'm very much not a mother. I can easily say that there's been a lot of thought placed into this … Continue reading December Writing Challenge: Day 11
