Well hello there! Has your life been as insane as mine? Work has been absolutely nutso & I honestly haven't had the time or mental energy to do much else. You know it's been bad when you can't remember much because your mind is protecting you. Survivor mode is engaged. I feel like I'm getting …
“It takes a village”
I was thinking about this phrase & how I've had to use it in my life. Emphasis on "had to." Let me explain.I like to do everything myself. It's hard for me to ask for help. Part of me feels like it's weakness (even though I know it's not) & another part of me feels …
Cultural appropriation
I wasn't going to talk about this. I have a list of a bunch of other, happier topics I could get into it. But you know what? Fuck that. This is something I keep running into & it just pisses me off. But first... a little background. You know I'm a Jew. You also know …
My universal perspective
If you're anything like me, sometimes I get wrapped up in my own thoughts & fears. I tend to look at the problem from every direction & to do my best to solve it as quickly, as effectively, & as painless as possible. But while I'm focused on whatever issue at hand, I tend to …

“No, she’s not”
I have a really cool story I want to tell you. As it involves a few different people, using initials might get confusing. So, for today, I'm changing their name. I've had this story in the hopper for a while. As you know, things have been "meh" at best so I feel like I need …
Derailed
Today's a rough one. There's your warning. Why are relationships so hard? Why is it so difficult to have someone try to own up to their mistakes & fix the damage they've caused? What is it about me that everyone just brushes over what I need? Is it too much to ask to meet me …
Hiatus
So after my last quasi-drunken rambling, I decided I needed a break. A break from people, a break from blogging, a break from anything I could get away from. I know I'm still healing & that it's not a linear process. Some days are awesome & others are really rough. I had a heart-to-heart with …
