My exes never seem to be very far from me and the realization, the reminder, gives me pause. A few weeks ago I received a text from a phone number that was like a ghost whispering in my ear, “Remember me? Thought you’d quite forgotten?” The strangest thing about this particular text is that I [...]

As anyone can imagine who knows me or this blog, I have mixed emotions about what the past year brought to my life. I certainly couldn’t have foreseen how different the close of the year would be from its opening. But, I will admit, that difference was not altogether unwelcome. In fact, it proved- and [...]

I’ve been getting a lot of well-meaning, if not entirely necessary, sympathy of late. True, my personal life kind of went the way of UTTER SADNESS earlier this year, but I’m actually okay.

But the months passed and there it sat, nearly forgotten. And, life went on and nothing much, nothing good anyway, happened. The bottle became a fixture of the crisper [...]

Well then, let’s get to the topic at hand. There are perhaps no “right” words to write about what the last three months have brought to both of our lives. With or without meaning to, my boyfriend and I both placed expectations upon what living together would be- me, naïvely but in good faith, and he, apparently [...]

Five years. Last week, though (like the bad little blogger I’ve been lately) I only just realized, marked five years for me as a blogger. Reflecting on that time, both upon blogging and the content on which I write, I’ve experienced quite a bit of Life over those years… I fell in love. And out [...]
