When I was a little girl, I remember seeing my mom working in the kitchen almost every night putting together a meal for my then stepfather. She'd cook, fix his plate first, then mine and my brothers, and finally hers. Anything he needed, she got up and got. When it was over, he retired to...wherever. … Continue reading The Power of Submission
Rest assured, dear readers, this piece isn't about the now defunct video store or any big budget summer movies. Nope, this is all about love. That type of love that slowly gnaws at your soul piece by piece until it's officially torn in half. Kinda like a Horcrux minus all the Voldemort. I'm talking about … Continue reading Blockbuster
Sometimes I can't help but to sit back and observe the world as it passes by. I keep my head down and my eyes open. So suffice it to say that I notice a lot of... stuff. Let's get the obvious out of the way first. From the title you can probably guess that I … Continue reading The Plight of the “Good Man”
You probably don't need me to tell you that trust is a fragile thing. That when it's broken after years of building on a foundation of vulnerability and reciprocity, you feel as though you can never again get back to that place of faith in another person. That's basically what trust is: faith in someone … Continue reading Fragile

But one thing I try to keep in the forefront of my mind is that every cloud has a silver lining. Yes, that is a generic cliche that probably doesn't … Continue reading Faithful & Fickle
My deepest apologies to my followers, old and new. I haven't been writing much up here, thanks to my ever demanding job on the bottom rung on the retail corporate ladder. The fact that it's the holiday season doesn't help much. No. It definitely doesn't help. But that's why I decided to take a few minutes … Continue reading ‘Tis the Season… For Whaaa?
Life is funny. As soon as you set your mind out to do something you really want to do, something wholly unpredictable presents itself. In my case this was a new home in a new state, a new full-time job, and a suddenly overflowing school schedule. Oh, and a social life. That last one came … Continue reading Challenge to Myself
Sometimes I get extremely frustrated trying to find something to write about. It's not that I don't have ideas. I have plenty. The problem lies in picking a subject worth writing about from the plethora of random topics floating around my over-worked mind. I find it even more frustrating when trying to pinpoint a good … Continue reading Going Back to Basics
It's been a minute since I've had a chance to sit and write, but something has been nagging me for weeks, and of course, I have to speak on it. I have my good friend Charlie to thank for this one. The last time I spoke to Charlie we discussed relationships and marriage. The conversation … Continue reading Is It Sacred?
